Dietary Program: Handling Eating Disorder Treatment with CARE
Healing, growth and a positive relationship with food is possible with the Center for Discovery Dietary Program. Our approach the CARE-CFD Model, which stands for “consistent attuned relational eating.” This means patients have the steadiness of a dietary plan that is adaptable to what’s happening in their life. The CARE-CFD Model embraces: trauma-focused nutrition therapy; collaboration between patients and the care team; responsiveness to the whole body, including being in tune with the nervous system; and weight inclusivity.

In addition to receiving evidence-based therapies, patients all have the opportunity to put “joyful” back into movement through yoga and other activities such as mindful movement, art therapy and experiential therapy.
Insurances we accept include but are not limited to Anthem BC, Employee Health Network (EHN), HMC, Kaiser (So Cal) and Optum/UBH. Please remember that the insurances we accept change frequently. Our insurance team will verify your coverage.
