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.
