We are a nationally recognized treatment/research program. We conduct research studies on adolescents and adults with bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder and obesity in an effort to better understand these conditions and develop more effective treatments.

Adolescent and adult patients who are interested and eligible in the research will receive inpatient or outpatient treatment at no cost. The eligibility criteria for research participation vary from study to study, so interested individuals should contact the clinic to obtain more information.

*Research Study using MRI to examine Bulimia Nervosa in Adolescent Girls

Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center are conducting an NIMH-funded study aimed at understanding brain development in adolescents with Bulimia Nervosa. We are looking for girls, 12-18 years old, who binge-eat and purge. Participation involves completing interviews, games and puzzles, and an MRI scan. Treatment, free of charge will be provided to girls in need. Compensation (up to $400) will also be provided for participation. The study takes place at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, 1051 Riverside Drive in Manhattan.

At Metro Behavioral Health Associates, we specialize in the treatment of all forms of eating disorders through individual, group and family therapy, nutritional counseling, medical monitoring, family education,  peer group support and specifically targeted IOP's or Intensive Outpatient Programs. Our treatment approach provides education, support and practical feedback to help patients understand and resolve long-standing behavior patterns, habits and coping skills that have simply become too emotionally and physically expensive. In part by becoming more sensitive and compassionate with oneself, patients can learn to identify new ways of coping without also negatively affecting their bodies and/or important relationships. We utilize a psychodynamic approach, as well as cognitive and behavioral techniques and tools to help patients build both insight and a range of practicable skills that will help them understand and resolve long-standing destructive behavior patterns, habits and coping skills.

We maintain affiliation and membership with prestigious organizations including The National Eating Disorders Assoc. (NEDA), The Academy for Eating Disorders (AED), The Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA), The American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA), The Eating Disorders Coalition (EDC) and The National Association of Social Work (NASW). Our office hours are as flexible as possible and include evenings (and most Saturdays only in Scarsdale). While we do not participate in managed care networks, we will provide itemized statements for those who wish to submit for out-of-network benefits. We also offer reduced fees on a case by case basis.

Harmony Place at St. Joseph’s Villa is an 8-bed adolescent eating disorders residential program offering comprehensive treatment to boys and girls (age 12-18) struggling with an eating disorder.

The first adolescent residential program in New York State is led by a multi-disciplinary team of health care professionals including nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical therapists, dietitians and physicians.

The program offers at least 20 group therapies per teen per week with an additional 8 hours of individual and family therapies. Therapeutic sessions use empirically-based approaches to focus on client needs.

Families are vital components in adolescent recovery plans. From admission through discharge, we work with families to develop recovery plans with their health care professionals. While the program focuses on the interruption and stabilization of the child’s eating disorder symptoms, family members will experience hands-on,family-based therapy sessions to learn about eating disorders and recovery at home.
