Food, Eating and Weight Issues
Eating Disorders are not just about weight and food. The focus
on weight and food are symptoms of greater, underlying problems.
We work with our clients to learn to separate issues of food and
weight from the underlying issues that prompt the Eating
Disorder. Our therapists will work with our clients to understand
and work through their issues, as this is a vital component of the
recovery process.
To enable our clients to recover from their Eating Disorders, we
work with them to overcome their struggles with food, meals and
social situations that involve food. Our goal is to facilitate the
development of healthy eating patterns and a healthy relationship
with all foods. In addition, we work with our clients to develop
a concept of what is a healthy and realistic body weight for them
and ways in which to attain a healthy weight by making healthy life
choices.
The intensive outpatient treatment program at Discovery Paths provides
a supportive, comprehensive treatment for clients experiencing problems
with Eating Disorders as well dual diagnosed clients suffering from
an Eating Disorder along with depression, anxiety, and/or substance
abuse, which often accompany an Eating Disorder. Our
staff is specifically trained in these specialties. The program
is adjusted to meet the needs of the current clientele.
Discovery Paths is located in Mission Viejo, California. We are
conveniently located off the 5 Freeway and minutes from the Toll
Road.
