Group Psychotherapy:

"In group therapy, you’ll be embraced by a community that listens and empathizes with your experiences, fostering a safe space for honest dialogue. You’ll connect with people who “get it,” and let the strength of collective support propel you forward. Our skilled therapists employ evidence-based techniques like CBT, DBT, and FBT to help you develop skills to manage your triggers and improve your relationship with yourself."

Family Therapy:

"At The Emily Program, we encourage your loved ones to be involved in your treatment because of the profound impact of family support in eating disorder recovery e. Our family-based treatment (FBT) for adolescents — along with our family and couples therapy for adults — provides the education, tools, and confidence your loved ones need to support your healing journey. "

Nutrition Therapy:

"Our dedicated dietitians deliver personalized nutrition counseling, education, and meal planning at all levels of care. Our approach helps you stop participating in eating disorder behaviors, regain health, and rediscover your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues."

Medical Care:

"Eating disorders can lead to physical issues like brittle nails, hypotension, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). At The Emily Program’s St. Louis Park location, our skilled medical team is there to offer you care as needed so that you can focus on the other parts of recovery."

Psychiatric Care:

"At The Emily Program, we understand that co-occurring conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder need to be addressed in addition to your eating disorder Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists who can manage these co-occurring illnesses as needed, providing the psychological support you need to reconnect your mind and body."

Experiential Activities:

"The Emily Program’s intensive day and intensive outpatient treatment programs offer engaging activities such as cooking, grocery shopping, and dining experiences. These activities allow you to practice the coping skills you’ve developed in a real-world context, ensuring you’re well-prepared for life after treatment. "

Education/Schooling:

"At The Emily Program, you don’t have to choose between recovery and academic progress. In our intensive day programs (IDP), we set aside time for study hall to ensure school-age clients can stay on track with their schoolwork. "

Additional Therapies:

"At The Emily Program, we go beyond traditional therapy by delivering integrative approaches that help you process your emotions and express yourself. These therapies encompass:

  • Expressive Arts: Using art in treatment can help reduce your anxiety, address body image issues, and build healthier coping strategies. Expressive arts provide a non-verbal outlet for you to safely share, explore, and reflect on your thoughts and feelings.
  • Movement Therapy: Yoga, stretching, and strength training during treatment can aid you in reconnecting your mind and body. These forms of movement also serve as a healthy outlet for stress, helping you develop effective coping mechanisms for future triggers."
