Healing Starts Here: Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center for Adolescent Girls

Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center, located in the tranquil setting of Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, offers a specialized program for adolescent girls struggling with eating disorders. Nestled in Monroe County, our center provides a serene and supportive environment designed to help young women regain their health, self-worth, and relationship with food. With its proximity to major cities—just 30 miles north of Allentown, less than 90 minutes from Philadelphia, and within two hours of New York City and New Jersey—our center is easily accessible for families seeking comprehensive eating disorder treatment. At Blue Ridge, we believe in the power of healing through a combination of expert care, personalized treatment, and compassionate support.

Our program for adolescent girls is specifically tailored to address the unique challenges faced by young women battling eating disorders. We recognize that eating disorders often develop during adolescence as a response to a combination of biological, emotional, and social factors. Therefore, our team of experienced therapists, nutritionists, and medical professionals work together to create an individualized treatment plan for each patient. We offer a range of services, including individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and psychiatric support, all designed to help adolescents understand and heal from the underlying causes of their eating disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and family-based therapy (FBT) are key modalities utilized in our program to foster emotional resilience, improve body image, and address disordered eating patterns.

Blue Ridge also emphasizes the importance of nutrition education and counseling in the recovery process. Our registered dietitians work closely with patients to develop healthier relationships with food, focusing on mindful eating, balanced nutrition, and restoring a healthy body weight. In addition to traditional therapies, we incorporate experiential therapies, including art therapy, music therapy, and movement-based therapies, to engage adolescents in healing in ways that resonate with their interests and emotional experiences. Our program aims to provide holistic care, addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of eating disorder recovery.

At Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center, we are committed to creating an environment where adolescent girls feel supported, valued, and empowered throughout their recovery journey. Our goal is to help young women not only overcome their eating disorders but also develop a strong sense of self and the skills necessary to lead a fulfilling, healthy life. If you are seeking specialized care for your daughter, Blue Ridge is here to guide you both toward lasting healing. Contact us to learn more about our services and how we can help.
