Seeds of Hope
Seeds of Hope is an Intensive Outpatient Program specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. It offers support and direction for individuals in crisis or struggling to function on a regular basis. It is often an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or can be a transition for individuals being discharge from an inpatient stay. We treat clients in the least restrictive environment which allows many to maintain their daily life and routine.
Eating Disorders disrupt the natural course of emotional health and development. They interfere with work, school, physical health, and relationships. They cause people to focus only on issues related to food. Fortunately, Seeds of Hope is a place you can get the support and direction you need and deserve.
Our staff consists of Licensed Professional Counselors and Nutritionists and Dietitians who specialize in the treatment of eating disorders. Clients are supported three times a week by using a multimodal approach consisting of Process Group Therapy, Expressive Art Therapy and Educational Nutrition Therapy. These groups reduce isolation and secrecy, help identify and express feelings, and develop more effective ways of coping. A therapeutic meal is included which our clients make at home and eat together with our staff. Our group maintains a small group census to ensure optimum therapeutic support.
Psychiatric services are provided to evaluate the benefits or need for medication management. Clients who already have a psychiatrist are welcome to a second opinion if they should choose to do so.
Family groups and individual meetings are also provided on an as needed basis. Clients typically attend 12 to 18 group sessions over the course of 3 to 6 weeks. Upon discharge individuals are referred back to their individual therapist. If they do not have an individual therapist, they will be provided a referral prior to leaving the program.
Most insurance plans are accepted. To schedule an intake appointment or to verify insurance coverage you can contact the Intake Coordinator at 888-686-7511.
