About Alsana Westlake Village

About Alsana Westlake Village

Alsana Westlake Village is an eating disorder treatment community that exists to support individuals in their recovery from an eating disorder. Our holistic Adaptive Care Model and team of eating disorder treatment experts will treat you—as a whole person—not just the disorder.

What We Treat

Alsana Westlake Village focuses on helping those suffering from an eating disorder to heal in all aspects of their lives. We treat individuals struggling with Anorexia, Binge-eating disorder, Bulimia, Diabulimia (ED-DMT1), OSFED (otherwise-specified feeding and eating disorders), ARFID (avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder), and Co-occurring conditions.

Who We Treat

Individuals 18-years and older of all genders who are struggling with an eating disorder come to Alsana to heal.

How We Treat

The Adaptive Care Model for eating disorder treatment makes recovery at Alsana Westlake Village truly different. The goal of this model is to empower clients with the ability to manage five key aspects of eating disorder treatment.

These are:

  • Medical
  • Relational
  • Nutrition
  • Movement
  • Therapeutic

We believe that each of these five aspects of eating disorder treatment is equally important in achieving and maintaining recovery.

Medical

We heal bodies and minds.

Our medical program is infused with compassion and designed to meet the unique recovery needs of each individual. Its purpose is to provide a physical foundation for lasting recovery and to educate clients about the physiologic changes they experience during the healing process. Care is provided by our multidisciplinary teams of attentive eating disorder treatment professionals within an affirming, respectful environment.

Relational

We are accepting of all lived experiences.

Alsana is committed to embracing and respecting client and staff diversity. This commitment includes diversity based on ethnicity, race, nationality, neurodiversity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, spirituality, ability, economic class, social class, and body shape and size. Our approach is to create an affirming environment where clients show up as their whole self, including the context of their culture, identities, and lived experiences.

Alsana affirms the scientific evidence that oppression, including stigma and discrimination, has a significant negative impact on staff and clients’ mental health, physical health, and overall well being. We provide affirming care and incorporate the client's community into their eating disorder treatment process.

Nutrition

We believe in and practice all-inclusive nutrition.

Nutritional care is designed in alignment with our “all-inclusive nutrition” philosophy, which embraces flexibility and the enjoyment of foods without shame or self-judgment. Our goal is to create food neutrality by taking the moral judgment out of food and focusing on nourishment, flexibility, and pleasure in the nutritional healing process.

Clients gain valuable culinary skills and nutrition education, and are encouraged to explore their personal and cultural connections with food. We believe in healing that reflects each client's unique life story and adapting their meal plan to embrace their journey to recovery

Movement

We support movement for every body.

The movement program employs a variety of engaging techniques that invite clients to explore their motivations and relationships with exercise. We rely on evidence-based, eating disorder-specific movement therapy interventions, with movement experientials that include a mix of sports, games, recreational outings, dance, art, expressive activities, walks, and stretching. We incorporate relaxation, yoga, meditation training, and psychoeducation about movement into the treatment experience.

Therapeutic

We cultivate compassion.

Alsana provides a soft landing for clients by meeting them with care and understanding rather than rigidity. We take a de-shame and de-blame stance that empowers clients and honors their intrinsic wisdom.

We offer empathetic understanding and thoughtful interventions to support clients in leaning into difficult emotions so they can be learned from, tolerated, and disentangled from harmful behavior. By providing evidence-based and compassionate care, we help clients to reduce self-criticism while building the foundation for a meaningful and fulfilling life
