Eating Disorders Treatment
Recovery Starts Here
Eating disorders are treatable complex illnesses and nutritional rehabilitation is a critical component of eating disorder recovery.
Physicians and therapists across the DMV have been referring to Dr. Daisy & Co for over 20 yrs for eating disorders treatment. Eating disorders can be scary. If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, please reach out for professional support.
We work with clients of all ages experiencing symptoms of Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Orthorexia, and ARFID (Avoidant, Restrictive, Food Intake Disorder).
We provide evidence-based nutrition and recovery plans and communicate these plans with compassion and patience. Every client is unique and every treatment plan is custom tailored to provide fast and long-term recovery.
We use both behavioral and psychological models in nutrition counseling for eating disorders. These therapy tools help us better address our clients’ common feelings of ambivalence, resistance, and discouragement when they hit bumps in the road.
Do you feel like you have an unhealthy relationship with food but not quite an eating disorder?
Many of our clients struggle with sub-clinical eating disorders, bad body image, 'food noise', 'food addiction', weight ups and downs, and eating patterns that are unreliable, overthought, inconsistent, and stressful. If this is you, we can help!
You don't need a full-blown eating disorder to benefit from professional support.
Is your child struggling with an eating disorder?
You're in the right place. We work with parents, their kids, and the whole healthcare team to treat pediatric eating disorders. We primarily use Family Based Treatment (FBT) an effective evidenced-based approach for pediatric eating disorders.
A Team Approach
Outpatient eating disorder treatment is typically team based and includes a psychologist, a nutritionist (that’s us), a psychiatrist (if medications are needed), and a general physician (for overseeing medical management). We are well-networked with many eating disorder specialists with whom we refer and collaborate throughout the DC metropolitan area.
We offer individual nutritional counseling for older teens and adults. For younger teens and children, we work with parents and use Family Based Treatment for eating disorders recovery.

"You have forever changed my life. I cannot thank you enough for providing the right foundation for me to continue in my recovery. I've started to get my life back, thanks to you." ~ Mark
"I wouldn't wish an eating disorder on anyone. People don't understand what eating disorders are really about - they are horrible illnesses. But recovery is possible when you work with the right people. I can't get over where I was back in my eating disorder and where I am now. I've gotten my life back. Now, on most days, I feel like I can do anything." ~ Sara
