What We Treat
At Eating Disorder Treatment Center of Louisiana, we treat women with many forms of disordered eating, from food restriction to bingeing, purging, and overwhelming anxiety around food. Our team specializes in compassionate, evidence-based care for the full spectrum of eating disorders, offering expertise and a welcoming community that reinforces one powerful truth: recovery is always possible.
Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia can feel like food rules and fear take over. We help women regain health and discover freedom in nourishing their bodies again.
Bulimia
Bulimia’s cycle of bingeing and purging is exhausting. With care and support, we guide women toward balance and trust in themselves.
Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating disorder brings feelings of being out of control and weighed down by shame. We offer tools to replace shame with hope and healing.
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
ARFID is not just being picky; it’s fear or anxiety that makes food feel unsafe. We help women feel comfortable and confident at mealtimes.
Other Eating Disorders (OSFED)
Even if food issues don’t fit a single diagnosis, they are still valid. We provide personalized care so every woman feels understood.
Co-Occurring Mental Health
Eating disorders do not always occur in isolation. At EDTC, we can also address disorders such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and more.
