EATING DISORDERS TREATMENT IN BOCA RATON, FL
Start Your Journey Toward Recovery
Throughout Florida and Boca Raton, eating disorders are twice as prevalent for women compared to men, with an average of 4% of women across the United States struggling with an eating disorder at any given time. That said, almost 30 million people will experience an eating disorder at some point in their lifetime.
Currently, there exists a substantial gap between those who have an eating disorder and those who get treatment for it. While an average of 15 percent of women will struggle with an eating disorder by the time they reach their 40s, around one quarter of them will get treatment, while the others struggle alone.
Without eating disorders treatment, Boca Raton residents are 11 times more likely to attempt suicide, and those who have anorexia are 18 times more likely.
With Remedy Therapy, we believe in making a lasting difference through excellent care and support. Eating disorders treatment in Boca Raton should provide clients with evidence-based care and the tools they need for long-term health.

What We OfferOur Eating Disorder Treatment Options
Nutritional Rehabilitation and Management
We employ a medical approach to treatment that includes nutritional rehabilitation and management. Many clients need to restore physical health and nutritional stability, which is why our registered dietitians will work to promote healthy nutrition with personalized meal plans and nutritional education. Part of this education is continued counseling on how to develop a healthy relationship with food and how to make and keep recovery goals.
In some situations, we might prescribe medication, especially to help with symptoms of a co-occurring mental health disorder, like:
- OCD
- Anxiety
- Depression
If these disorders are already known or if symptoms manifest during individual therapy, our medical team can collaborate with your psychiatrist or healthcare providers to ensure you get medication for other symptoms.
Having this type of medication to manage an underlying mental health disorder can make it much easier for you to start and sustain your recovery when it comes to an eating disorder by doing away with some of the symptoms that might be contributing to maladaptive eating behaviors.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Our specialized eating disorders treatment Boca Raton includes dialectical behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. These are key components to our comprehensive treatment plans. With DBT, clients learn things like:
- Mindfulness
- Distress tolerance
- Emotional regulation
- Interpersonal effectiveness
Together, these skills give our clients the tools they need to handle difficult emotions and to overcome harmful behaviors by replacing them with positive coping skills.
While dialectical behavioral therapy can be applied to treat many conditions, when it comes to eating disorders, it can directly influence impulsivity and emotional dysregulation, making it easier for people to tolerate uncomfortable or distressing situations and emotions without immediately acting on impulse through negative eating behaviors.
Moreover, DBT gives our clients problem-solving skills and teaches acceptance not only of self but of healthy nutrition.
Media Literacy and Body Image Therapy
Media literacy can be an important part of body image therapy. This helps clients understand the way that the media uses filters or editing to create unrealistic portrayals, especially on social media.
As part of our body image therapy, we might help clients recognize misinformation and or manipulated images and then question those unrealistic standards of beauty. By providing critical thinking skills, our clients have the power to question the credibility of all media content they see and evaluate the way that that content might be negatively influencing their perception of their body and thus their eating habits.
By encouraging better media literacy, clients are able to develop healthier relationships with their bodies and are less likely to relapse. By addressing any issues at the core of eating disorders and improving self-esteem, individuals can protect themselves against a recurrence of disordered eating behaviors.
Aftercare
We know that for many clients, ongoing support is needed beyond a residential program. That is why our team helps create aftercare plans with guidance and resources for ongoing support.
In Boca Raton, there are several types of support groups in which you can participate after you leave our treatment center:
- DBT Mindfulness: One group is focused on a 16-week outpatient program that incorporates dialectical behavioral therapy and mindfulness, so if you participated in our DBT program and developed basic mindfulness skills relating to your eating habits, you can continue that avenue locally
- College Support Groups: If you are in college or have a child who is in college, struggling with an eating disorder, there are anxiety support groups throughout Boca Raton that can offer continued weekly meetings with people of the same age
- Mind and Body: Other local support groups include mind and body groups that meet every week to discuss personal issues relating to body weight, food, and emotions
We want each of our clients to find the ongoing support they need, whether that is support groups for themselves as someone struggling with an eating disorder or support groups as someone with a family member who has an eating disorder.
