If you or someone you love is struggling, evidence-based care is available nearby. Our residential program serves clients from West Palm Beach and across South Florida, offering structured support, therapy, and nutrition services in a warm, non-judgmental setting.

What Sets Us ApartWhy Seek Eating Disorder Treatment in West Palm Beach?
Eating disorders affect health, relationships, school/work, and day-to-day life, often touching entire families. Without care, risks can include malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances, heart complications, and increased suicide risk; with timely treatment, recovery is possible and outcomes improve.
National data suggest eating disorders are common and widely under-treated; for example, a National Institute of Mental Health analysis reports lifetime prevalence estimates in the United States and highlights the importance of early intervention.
Florida leaders have also recognized the scope of the issue, noting that approximately 1.8 million Floridians are affected.
Getting help locally matters because it makes consistent attendance, family involvement, and step-down planning more realistic, which strengthens continuity of care over time.
Our Approach to Eating Disorder Treatment in West Palm Beach
Here to Help
At Remedy Therapy, we center care around you. From your initial contact, our team conducts a thorough assessment and collaborates with you to establish clear, mutually agreed-upon goals.
We offer specialized residential level of care in South Florida, serving clients from West Palm Beach. You will participate in a structured weekly schedule that may include individual therapy, group therapy, family support, and nutritional counseling with registered dietitians.
We pair evidence-based practices with holistic methods in a welcoming, non-judgmental environment so treatment feels both clinically grounded and deeply human. If you need additional medical services or, later, a step-down plan closer to home, we coordinate those referrals to maintain your momentum.
Our aim is simple: to restore physical stability, reduce symptoms of eating disorders, and help you build sustainable skills for life after treatment one step at a time.
What We OfferLevels of Care Available
Just up the road in Stuart, approximately 40 miles north of West Palm Beach, our residential program provides a warm, home-like environment with 24/7 support, structured meals, and a steady, predictable routine. You’ll have medical oversight, nutrition support, and a weekly rhythm of individual, group, and family therapy, so you can focus on healing instead of juggling day-to-day stressors.
Specialized therapy within our program
Your week typically includes one-to-one therapy to personalize goals and build skills, process groups to practice emotion regulation and peer support, and dedicated family sessions to strengthen communication and aftercare readiness. These services are delivered by an experienced multidisciplinary team using evidence-based methods.
Referrals and coordination for step-down care
If you’re coming from West Palm Beach or plan to return there after residential care, we help you transition to the right outpatient supports near your home. Our team collaborates with trusted community providers (therapists, dietitians, and physicians) and shares a tailored plan so your progress continues at a lower level of care, such as outpatient therapy or intensive outpatient at partner programs. We maintain close contact during discharge planning and can coordinate follow-up appointments before you leave, thereby minimizing gaps in support.

Therapies and Support We Provide
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): helps you notice and change unhelpful thought–behavior loops that keep eating disorder patterns in place. Our CBT track focuses on skills you can practice daily.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): builds mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, making urges feel more manageable.
- Family therapy and family-based support: we involve loved ones to strengthen communication, align expectations, and create a home environment that supports recovery.
- Individual therapy: a confidential space to work through triggers, perfectionism, body image, and co-occurring anxiety or depression with a licensed clinician.
- Group therapy: practice skills with peers, reduce shame through shared experience, and build a recovery network.
- Nutritional program: education, meal planning support, and practical guidance from our nutrition team to help stabilize eating and rebuild trust with food.
- Trauma and body-image therapies: targeted work on past experiences and self-image that often intersect with eating disorder symptoms.
These services are designed to treat binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, ARFID, OSFED, orthorexia, and related concerns, with plans tailored to your needs at our specialized residential program.
Local Recovery Support in West Palm Beach
Professional treatment works best when paired with community support. In Palm Beach County, you’ll find free, therapist-led support groups through the National Alliance for Eating Disorders (headquartered in West Palm Beach), plus a referral helpline and events for loved ones.
For peer connection beyond treatment hours, you can also access virtual groups through national nonprofits, such as ANAD.
For gentle movement and stress relief, explore Okeeheelee Park (trails, lakes, nature center) and Grassy Waters Preserve (boardwalks and guided programs). Both offer low-cost ways to practice mindfulness in nature. The Mandel Public Library regularly hosts free wellness classes, such as yoga and meditation, which many people use to support their coping and routine.
Blending structured clinical care with local support and wellness activities helps you maintain progress, reduce isolation, and build a sustainable life in recovery.
What to Expect When You Begin Treatment
You’ll start with a confidential admissions call and screening. If our program is the right fit, we’ll complete a comprehensive intake and medical review, then create a personalized plan outlining therapy, nutrition, and daily structure.
You’ll work with compassionate clinicians who set collaborative goals with you, explain the weekly schedule, and answer questions about family involvement, communication, and aftercare planning. Throughout your stay, we prioritize privacy and respect, provide consistent updates, and coordinate step-down care to ensure you have appointments scheduled upon your return home.
From the first contact through discharge, our team focuses on making the process clear and supportive so that you can concentrate on your healing.

FAQsFrequently Asked Questions
What types of eating disorders do you treat?
We support adults with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, orthorexia, and related concerns in a specialized residential setting. Care plans include medical, nutritional, and therapeutic components tailored to your needs.
Can I continue school or work while in treatment?
Residential treatment is a full-time therapeutic schedule, so most people pause school or work to focus on recovery. We help you plan for a smooth step-down to PHP/IOP or outpatient care closer to home so you can resume responsibilities with support.
Do you provide family counseling as part of treatment?
Yes. Family involvement is encouraged, and sessions can be arranged to strengthen communication and support systems during and after care.
Is telehealth available for eating disorder therapy?
Remedy Therapy provides residential care and does not offer outpatient services directly. When virtual or outpatient care is appropriate after discharge, we coordinate referrals to trusted providers to ensure continuity of care.
How long does treatment usually last?
The clinical and medical teams individualize the length of stay; many clients engage in care for several weeks. Our program typically lasts around 60 days, tailored to your individual needs and progress.
