Since 1995, Shoreline Center for Eating Disorder Treatment has successfully been helping individuals achieve recovery from eating and body image problems, including anorexia and bulimia nervosa, and binge eating. They believe that eating disorder symptoms have been useful to a person in some way. This may sound strange, but whether they have helped to disguise unhappy feelings, reduce intense bouts of anxiety or relieve the frustrations of feeling out of control and of the unpredictability of life, the symptoms have worked to disguise inner conflict. They work with individuals to learn what need is being met by the eating disorder and help them to develop new ways of coping, without resorting to self-destructive behaviors. All of their programs include supportive meals, individual and group therapy, including many expressive therapies such as art, yoga, and equine therapy. Additionally, all of their programs are based on APA guidelines and they welcome the opportunity to collaborate with referring therapists.
