Yellowbrick Eating Disorders Service
Yellowbrick provides an Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorders Program for late adolescents and young adults suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and atypical eating disorder syndromes including some cases of Binge Eating Disorder. Yellowbrick is not a primary weight loss or obesity treatment center though we are skilled at managing weight loss and/or obesity as it presents with other psychiatric conditions. As the Eating Disorders Service is embedded in a psychiatric practice, co-morbid psychiatric disorders and substance abuse in addition to the eating disorder can be addressed and treated within Yellowbrick.
All members of the Yellowbrick team are trained in assessment and treatment of sexual and physical trauma and abuse. Jesse Viner, MD, and Laura Humphrey, PhD, are recognized national experts in eating disorders. Drs. Viner and Humphrey, and senior staff nurse/social worker Pam Tansey, RN, LCSW, each has over 25 years clinical experience with eating disorder patients. Craig Johnson, PhD, Director of Laureate Hospital Eating Disorder program and an international expert on eating disorders, is on the Yellowbrick Board of Advisors.
There are four levels to the Eating Disorders Treatment Service:
Level 1: The Assessment
Level 2: Medical and Nutritional Stabilization
Level 3: Stabilization of Behavioral Problems
Level 4: Psychological Treatment and Support
