Who we treat Patients of all genders ages 6-24 Eating disorders rarely exist alone – Equip treats co-existing conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and trauma
How we treat 100% virtual care with a 5-person provider team including a therapist, medical provider (pediatrician, adolescent medicine doctor, psychiatrist or nurse practitioner), family mentor, peer mentor, and registered dietitian.
What does treatment look like? Your family will meet with all 5 providers as often as you need for meal planning, mentorship, therapy, and practical support Virtual care means we'll be there after before school and in the midst of finals. It means not having to coordinate schedules for in-person appointments and instead where it's convenient – your car before soccer practice or backstage after theater tryouts. Talk therapy works best once patients are re-nourished. As patients progress through weight restoration and eradication of eating disorder behaviors, therapy shifts from family sessions to more individual appointments.
