The Center For Eating Disorders at Timberlawn
A continuum of care
for patient with eating disorders.
At Timberlawn Mental Health System, we specialize in the
effective, compassionate treatment of eating disorders in adults
aged 18 and older. Our innovative and comprehensive therapies are
designed to address root causes and help patients with compulsive
overeating, bulimia or anorexia return to a healthy lifestyle and
positive self-image.
Providing the highest standards of care, the Center for Eating
Disorders at Timberlawn can accommodate patients on both an
inpatient or intensive outpatient basis. Accredited by JCAHO, we are
the only psychiatric hospital in Texas to be recognized in the
U.S. News and World Report survey of top hospitals in the
country.
An innovative approach.
At Timberlawn, we understand that eating disorders are “multidetermined”
illnesses, influenced by a variety of physiological, familial and
social factors. Our unique treatment programs emphasize resolution
of these underlying psychological and emotional conflicts.
The primary goal of the Center is to provide patients with practical
tools they can use to contain their symptoms, modify distorted
thinking, correct their eating habits, and normalize their body
image and weight. We help patients gain insights into their behavior
and give them the skills they need to prevent relapse—and enjoy
lasting change.
