Conditions We Treat
Mind-U treats anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia (an unhealthy fixation on "clean" or "correct" eating), and exercise addiction tied to body image and control, each through an individualized psychiatric and nutritional plan.
A Recovery-Focused Approach
Treatment here is never built around numbers — no weight targets, no calorie counts, no BMI thresholds drive the plan. The focus stays on the psychiatric and emotional roots of the eating disorder, with nutritional support provided by our clinical team as part of the broader recovery plan, not as a stand-alone metric to hit.
Treating Eating Disorders Alongside Anxiety, Depression, or Trauma
Yes — eating disorders frequently co-occur with anxiety, depression, or trauma, and Mind-U's psychiatric team treats them together as part of the same care plan, rather than treating the eating disorder in isolation.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Program length depends on severity; Mind-U offers a 35-day intensive, a 90-day comprehensive, and extended 6-month or 1-year options depending on the individual's needs.
Cost and Insurance
Mind-U is a private-pay program; many PPO plans offer out-of-network reimbursement, and our admissions team can help you understand what that looks like for your plan. See pricing and financing →
