Eating Disorder Treatment Centers of Louisiana

At Eating Disorder Treatment Centers (EDTC), we believe that every woman deserves the chance to heal, grow, and find freedom from the pain of an eating disorder. Our program is designed to provide a safe and nurturing space where recovery is not only possible but also fully supported by compassionate professionals who understand the courage it takes to start this journey.

We know that eating disorders are not simply about food. They are complex mental health conditions that touch every part of life. They affect emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and self-identity. That is why our treatment is built to address the whole person, meeting each woman where she is with care that restores both mind and body.

Our Approach to Treatment

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. At EDTC, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan tailored to her unique needs, history, and goals. Our philosophy centers on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of the disorder. We blend evidence-based therapies with holistic supports, creating a program that helps women build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and rediscover their sense of self.

Residential treatment at EDTC provides the structure and support necessary for lasting recovery. In stepping away from the daily stressors and triggers of life, women gain the space to focus entirely on healing. Our staff is available 24/7, offering round-the-clock care in a supportive and structured environment. This level of care ensures safety, stabilization, and the guidance needed to build a foundation for long-term success.

What We Treat

EDTC specializes in treating adult women struggling with:

• Anorexia Nervosa
• Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
• Bulimia Nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder
• Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED)

We also recognize that many women experience co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our program is equipped to address these issues alongside the eating disorder, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive, integrated care.

Therapies and Programming

We combine proven therapies with holistic practices to create a well-rounded recovery experience. Each patient’s week includes a thoughtful mix of individual sessions, group work, and experiential therapies.

Our core therapies include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping women reframe distorted thought patterns and build healthier behaviors.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Supporting emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encouraging patients to align their lives with their values and focus on meaningful action.
• Nutritional counseling and meal support: Guiding women to develop balanced eating patterns while addressing food-related fears.
• Individual psychotherapy: Providing a safe space to explore personal struggles, past experiences, and recovery goals.
• Group therapy: Building peer connections, reducing isolation, and fostering shared understanding.
• Family therapy: Involving loved ones in the recovery process to strengthen communication and support systems.
• Holistic approaches: Mindfulness, yoga, and expressive arts that nurture self-awareness, self-expression, and whole-body healing.

This comprehensive mix allows patients to work on the root causes of their eating disorder while also developing real-life skills that support recovery beyond treatment.

Our Team

Behind every aspect of care at EDTC is a dedicated, multidisciplinary team. Our staff comprises licensed therapists, dietitians, medical providers, and support professionals who collaborate to deliver thoughtful, individualized care.

Each member of our team is deeply committed to helping women reclaim their health and self-worth. Many of our staff have years of experience in eating disorder treatment and bring not only clinical expertise but also compassion and a genuine belief in recovery.

Specialties

EDTC goes beyond symptom treatment. We place a strong emphasis on:

• Body image and acceptance: Helping women rebuild positive relationships with their bodies.
• Co-occurring conditions: Addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma that often accompany eating disorders.
• Life skills and recovery coaching: Supporting independence, resilience, and preparation for life after treatment.
• Holistic wellness practices: Encouraging balance and well-being in all aspects of life.

Why Choose EDTC?

Choosing to seek treatment is one of the most courageous steps a woman can take. At EDTC, we honor that bravery by creating a treatment experience that is both clinically rigorous and deeply compassionate.

Our program is intentionally designed to be welcoming and personal, allowing patients to feel seen and valued rather than lost in a crowd. The residential environment fosters both structure and community, providing women with the stability they need while also offering encouragement and connection with others who understand what they are going through.

Located in Louisiana, EDTC provides a haven for women to step away from the demands of daily life and focus entirely on healing. Our treatment setting provides a comfortable and calming environment while maintaining the necessary professionalism and clinical support for recovery.

The Journey Forward

Recovery from an eating disorder is not an easy path, but it is a possible one. At EDTC, we walk alongside women every step of the way, helping them not only heal from disordered eating but also rediscover joy, self-acceptance, and hope for the future.

Our goal is that each woman leaves our program with more than tools for recovery. She leaves with a renewed sense of identity, resilience, and belief in her ability to live free from the grips of an eating disorder.

If you or someone you love is struggling, know that there is a place where recovery is possible, hope is real, and healing happens every day. EDTC is here to help women reclaim their lives and embrace the future with strength and confidence.
