OUR PHILOSOPHY
TREATMENT IS COLLABORATIVE. Recovery goals are developed collaboratively with each client. Our goal is to help you identify your values apart from the eating disorder, so you can challenge the problematic beliefs and behaviors that are interfering in living your life with fullness and freedom.
TREATMENT IS INDIVIDUALIZED. Treatment plans are highly individualized, and we will work with you towards your recovery goals. Treatment will focus on your specific needs, and address the factors that are working to maintain the problem.
TREATMENT IS SUPPORTIVE. Treatment address physical, psychological, and emotional healing, to address all aspects of the eating disorder. Our aim is to help you gain a sense of empowerment, so you can have confidence maintaining healthy changes outside of treatment.

OUR TREATMENT MODEL
We understand that the eating disorder does not thrive in a vacuum, and want to help you identify the factors that are maintaining the eating disorder in your life. Your treatment will also address any co-occurring struggles such as anxiety, depression or obsessive compulsive behaviors.
At Westwind, we want to offer the best treatment possible. Our staff are trained in the leading evidence based modes of therapy, in order to deliver treatment that is demonstrated to be effective through clinical studies. Our primary modes of therapy include Enhanced Cognitive Therapy (CBT-E) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in addition to graduated exposure and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
