Where you choose to go for treatment is the most important decision you will make in your recovery process. I made the decision to open Oliver-Pyatt Centers because, while treating patients with eating disorders, I saw many individuals who previously had
negative treatment experiences. They had not recovered, and their eating disorder had become more deeply entrenched. This experience led them to believe recovery was
impossible, that treatment did not work. What they did not realize was that they had not failed treatment; treatment had failed them.
You deserve the opportunity to recover. Whether you are mentally or physically exhausted from your eating disorder, or not yet ready to let go, there is the possibility for change and personal growth in your life. There is hope and an opportunity for a life free from food and body preoccupation.
Our programs are focused on providing meaningful and comprehensive care while supporting you in our naturalistic treatment setting. From meals, to buying clothes, to just being in the world, we understand that the life you led before you got here is the one you will need to build on during and after treatment. Providing your care in a community setting, amidst all the triggers and stresses that can interfere with finding and celebrating your true self, is an important way to insure that we are addressing your individual circumstances and challenges and offering real solutions.
Your life won’t be perfect when you step back into it. But you won’t need to run away from it either, because we will work together to allow you to experience your life in a way that is meaningful and manageable. We will help you learn to notice your true self; to see yourself as a connected and worthwhile human being, engaged with thoughts and feelings, and able to respect and nurture your many parts.
This is my wish for you.
