What We Treat
At Magnolia Creek, we tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of each client, supporting their recovery from a wide range of eating disorders and co-occurring disorders.
Intense fear of gaining weight and distorted body image, leading to extreme calorie restriction and low body weight, as well as malnutrition and serious medical and psychological consequences.
Rigid avoidance and/or restriction of certain foods, caused by sensory or taste issues, fear of choking or getting sick, or a combination of factors, leading to low body weight, malnutrition, and psychological distress.
Frequent episodes of uncontrollable “bingeing” or overeating, often triggered by emotional distress and leading to feelings of shame or self-loathing, psychological distress, and serious health risks.
Cycles of bingeing followed by dangerous purging behaviors like self-induced vomiting, overexercising, fasting, or misusing laxatives to avoid weight gain, leading to serious psychological and medical health risks.
Serious disordered eating behaviors that don’t fully meet the criteria for a single diagnosis. OSFED causes body image disturbance, psychological distress, and physical health risks present in other eating disorders.
Eating disorders commonly co-occur with serious mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD, requiring specialized, integrated treatment for recovery.
People with eating disorders often use substances to cope with or numb the distress caused by their illness. This places them at higher risk for substance use disorders.
How We Treat
Our staff works with clients and their families to create individualized care plans incorporating evidence-based therapies to heal mind, body, and spirit.
ACT helps individuals accept, understand, and address their negative emotions instead of fighting them or avoiding them.
CBT is a form of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses.
DBT is a skills-oriented form of therapy that helps people regulate their emotions, handle stress better, practice mindfulness, and improve their relationships.
Experiential therapy uses hands-on or creative activities to help people express themselves. Art, physical movement, animal-assisted therapy, and wilderness therapy can be transformative for individuals who struggle to put their feelings into words.
ERP gradually exposes a person to their anxiety triggers in a safe, supportive environment, with the goal of helping them resist the urge to respond with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors.
Family therapy helps a person’s support system—whether that’s their family or their chosen loved ones—develop the knowledge, tools, and skills to navigate their loved one’s eating disorder and provide support in recovery.
Eating disorders thrive in isolation, when a person believes no one else can identify with them or understand them. Therapy groups help individuals connect with and learn from other people facing the same challenges they are.
