Eating Disorder Treatment Programs

"Finding the right place for treatment of an eating disorder can be a challenge. I am so grateful to have found Nova Luna. When I met my therapist, I knew I finally found a safe place. She gave me hope that there is light at the end of the darkness. With her skills, specialized experiences, and personable approach, I confronted my fears that I hid for many years. As a result, I started to appreciate my strengths and weaknesses with a different perspective. Along with the therapist, the nonjudgmental and supportive group members helped me stay committed to the program, especially when things got very challenging. Based on my experience with Nova Luna, I am continuing on my journey of self-discovery." ~S.M.,35

"No one ever thought I would have an eating disorder. I was a little miss goodie two shoes. The reality was that I was really unhappy with myself and had a self image issue. Throughout all of my ups and downs and even through my experimenting with drugs, my eating disorder was there for me. I realize now that my eating disorder was unhealthy and that I only used my disorder as a way to escape all of my hardships. I never thought I would be rid of my disorder until I found Nova Luna. The groups and food journaling helped me out a ton! Everyone there supports and cares for you. Since I have graduated the program, I still use the tools I learned to work on myself. Recovery can take a long time, so don’t rush. It will take time and tears, but the rewards are breathtaking." ~T.C., 16

 

"For me, recovery was a struggle between extreme self-hatred and trying to believe that I am lovable. Nova Luna enabled me to break down my own walls by showing me what love felt like and allowing me to see hope in my life. This amazing program not only works out personal issues through well thought out projects and exercises but allows individuals to feel true friendship and love while engaging in the program. During my recovery, I was in session with a girl who is now a best friend of mine and I also became extremely close to my counselors and group members. Because I had become so distant from the world before I started, the friendship and love that I felt from everyone in the program was extremely healing. It finally allowed me to see what was inside of me that I had been covering for so many years." ~L.G.,21

 

"I have always believed that we are all here for a purpose. An eating disorder steals away your purpose and your dreams. In our weight obsessed culture, it is not hard to fall into the trap of believing your self worth is based on what you look like. I always wanted everything to be perfect, including my body. My eating disorder voice told me that I was never in good enough shape and my legs were never “fat-free”. I experimented with all of the diets, which of course led to my eating disorder, and I tried every workout. After ten years of living in this nightmare of an illness, I found Nova Luna. This program gave me a chance to live my life to its full potential. Recovery for me is in knowing that I am good enough and that I am so much more than what I look like. The irony is that now that I am recovered, I look back at old pictures when I was practicing my eating disorder and I look so much better now that I am eating whatever I want and listening to my body instead of my disorder! I eat when I am hungry and stop when I am full! I am now living out my life on purpose and fulfilling my dreams!" ~N.L, 24

 

"Nova Luna tailors treatment to serve each individuals needs. This program helped me take back my life that trauma stole from me at age four. Everyone involved held my hand, while challenging me to overcome this particular trauma. The therapists provided many outlets to express my emotions, and tools to help me stay healthy throughout the rest of my life." ~L.B.,27
