At Business Name, we provide dedicated eating disorder treatment for adolescents and young girls throughout Eastern Pennsylvania. Our center in Saylorsburg supports teens and their families with evidence-based therapies, compassionate clinical guidance, and a nurturing environment built to help young people heal their relationship with food, body, and self.
Eating disorders are complex medical and psychological conditions that require thoughtful, age-appropriate care. Many teens across Eastern Pennsylvania face pressures related to school, sports, social media, and self-image that can contribute to unhealthy eating behaviors. Young girls and adolescents throughout the region turn to Blue Ridge because we offer more than symptom management. We provide developmentally tailored treatment that addresses the emotional roots of disordered eating and supports long-term recovery.
Our team includes licensed therapists, registered dietitians, medical providers, and mental health specialists who collaborate to build personalized treatment plans. We understand that recovery is not linear and that every teen’s story is different. Whether a young person is struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, or another form of disordered eating, our evidence-based approach ensures safe, compassionate care.
Eating disorders affect teens of all backgrounds and can develop from a mix of biological, emotional, and social factors. Academic pressure, sports expectations, friendships, body comparisons, and the influence of social media can shape how young girls view themselves. These experiences often make it difficult for families to recognize when typical adolescent stress crosses into harmful behaviors.
At Blue Ridge, we help teens and families understand that eating disorders are serious health conditions, not choices. Early intervention is essential. When young people receive help sooner, their chance of a full recovery increases significantly. Our mission is to make specialized adolescent eating disorder treatment accessible across Eastern Pennsylvania.
Our treatment philosophy is rooted in research and designed specifically for young people. We focus on the emotional, physical, and social elements of recovery.
CBT helps teens challenge negative thoughts about food, weight, and body image. By practicing new coping strategies, young clients learn how to manage stress, school pressure, and peer influence in healthier ways.
DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. These tools help adolescents build balance and stability during challenging moments.
FBT is one of the most effective approaches for adolescents. This model empowers parents and caregivers to play an active role in helping their child restore healthy eating patterns and emotional stability. Families learn communication skills and strategies that create safety and consistency at home.
Our registered dietitians provide nutrition therapy that helps young clients understand food and nourishment in an age-appropriate, non-fearful way. Through supportive guidance, teens learn to trust their bodies, rebuild hunger cues, and develop sustainable habits that strengthen long-term recovery.
Adolescents receive careful medical monitoring and psychiatric evaluation to ensure their physical and emotional safety throughout treatment.
We offer a full continuum of care to meet adolescents where they are in their recovery.
PHP provides a full-day structured schedule that includes therapy, meals, school support, and medical oversight. It is ideal for teens who need intensive care without overnight hospitalization.
IOP is appropriate for adolescents who are medically stable but still need frequent therapeutic support. Teens can practice recovery skills while managing school, family time, or activities with guidance from our team.
Outpatient care focuses on long-term progress, relapse prevention, and emotional skill-building, allowing young clients to continue recovery while living at home.
Families receive ongoing education and therapeutic guidance to help teens stay connected, supported, and confident after completing a higher level of care.
Eastern Pennsylvania includes many communities where access to specialized adolescent treatment has historically been limited. Families in Stroudsburg, Bethlehem, Easton, Allentown, Wilkes-Barre, and surrounding areas often struggle to find programs built specifically for teens. Blue Ridge bridges this gap by offering age-appropriate, clinically sound care close to home.
Eastern Pennsylvania teens often face unique pressures related to academic achievement, competitive sports, and social comparison. Many young girls navigate body image concerns quietly, unsure of how to talk about them. Our programming incorporates education, early screening, and preventive outreach that helps families recognize concerns earlier.
Recovery for adolescents requires a blend of clinical expertise and genuine connection. Teens need a place where they feel understood, respected, and safe expressing themselves. We provide developmentally sensitive care that helps them build emotional resilience, confidence, and self-acceptance.
We adapt our approach to fit the needs of growing minds and bodies, ensuring that young clients receive well-rounded support that strengthens their physical and emotional health.
Our center offers a peaceful setting that allows young clients to step away from stressors. The calm, private environment helps teens focus on recovery without the noise of school or social pressure. Group therapy encourages connection with peers who share similar experiences, while individual therapy gives each teen space to explore feelings at their own pace. Creative and experiential therapies, such as art and movement, give young people new ways to express themselves and process emotions.
Our team works closely with schools, pediatricians, coaches, and youth organizations to help identify early warning signs and guide teens toward care. We understand the cultural and social dynamics of Eastern Pennsylvania and tailor our outreach and education accordingly. By working directly with teens, families, and community leaders, we promote awareness and reduce stigma around seeking help.
Every adolescent brings unique challenges and strengths into the recovery process. We take time to learn about each client’s background, interests, family dynamics, school environment, and emotional needs. Treatment plans integrate therapy, nutrition, medical care, and emotional skill-building in a way that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
Many adolescents also experience anxiety, depression, trauma, or obsessive thoughts alongside their eating disorder. Our integrated care model ensures that these co-occurring challenges are addressed, helping young clients feel more grounded and confident.
Parents and caregivers are essential to a teen’s recovery. We provide family therapy, parent education, and guidance to help loved ones understand the disorder and learn how to support their child effectively. Strong family involvement leads to better outcomes, and we work to strengthen these relationships throughout treatment.
Education is one of the most powerful tools for preventing eating disorders and improving outcomes. We participate in community programs, school trainings, and awareness events to help families and teens understand the early signs of disordered eating. Our goal is to ensure that more young people receive help before their symptoms escalate.
Families choose Blue Ridge because of our expertise, our compassionate team, and our commitment to supporting adolescents. We offer clinically sound programs that honor the emotional needs of young girls and teens while guiding them toward long-term healing. Our staff works together each day to ensure that every young person feels valued and supported.
Beginning treatment can feel overwhelming for teens and families, but we make the process clear and reassuring. Our admissions team helps guide families through the steps, answers questions, and schedules assessments quickly.
