What We Treat

At Magnolia Creek, we work with clients and their families to create individualized care plans that meet each client’s psychological, medical, nutritional, spiritual, and relational needs. Our residential and partial hospitalization programs provide evidence-based treatment for adolescent girls (ages 12 to 17) and women (ages 18 and older) who struggle with feeding or eating disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, and co-occurring substance use disorder. The disorders we treat include, but aren’t limited to:

Why Treatment Is Important

Kate Fisch, LCSW, AVP of Clinical Services at Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare for the Eating Disorder Network, discusses the complexity of eating disorders and the importance of a treatment team approach.

Studies have found that eating disorders have the second highest mortality of any mental illness behind opioid dependence, and: 

28.8 million Americans will have an eating disorder at some point in their life.  That means that almost 1 in 10 people will have an eating disorder at some point. It’s estimated that:

  • An individual dies from an eating disorder every 52 minutes
At Magnolia Creek, our therapeutic environment is designed to provide a whole-person approach to treatment. We explore the issues and experiences related to eating disorders and challenge the thoughts and behaviors that prevent women from living their life fully.

Safe, Compassionate Eating Disorder Treatment

We honor our clients as experts on their lives as well as their treatment. We are here as resources to utilize as each client navigates their recovery journey.
  • We acknowledge that each client’s eating disorder has served a valid purpose for them. We collaborate with each client to help them find other ways to cope with life stressors and expectations.
  • Our staff works with our clients to identify and to process contributing factors to the development of their eating disorder through individual therapy and group therapy.
  • We foster shame resilience through group therapy to promote opportunities to interact with peers and feel less alone in our struggles.
