About Equip Health - Virtual
Equip is a fully virtual eating disorder program that integrates into daily life and evolves with the client. Each client is matched with a multidisciplinary care team that remains with them throughout their entire recovery journey, instead of “stepping down” to new care teams and environments. With accessible, affordable care and no waitlist, Equip offers personalized support for all eating disorder diagnoses — because recovery is never one-size-fits-all.
Equip combines clinical expertise with lived experience to give clients the comprehensive support they need. They use only leading, evidence-based treatment modalities to craft a personalized approach that matches each client with a dedicated care team for therapy, nutritional counseling, medical care, and mentorship. Beyond provider sessions, clients and their loved ones have access to support groups, workshops, meal support, body image work, and more.
Equip offers dozens of virtual support groups each week, welcoming clients and loved ones to connect anonymously. Groups span a wide range of identities and needs. Clients can join spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ adults and teens, men, BIPOC clients, athletes, and more. Caregiver groups focus on skill-building and shared experience, supporting parents, siblings, BIPOC caregivers, and those navigating avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) or gender diversity.
One reason Equip seeks insurance authorization for up to a year of treatment is to help clients prevent relapse during early recovery. Each client works with their team on a relapse prevention plan to prepare for triggers and stressors. Even after stabilization, the care team remains involved, offering a safety net as clients navigate challenges during the vulnerable first few months in recovery.

Insurance Accepted
Provider's Policy:When you need eating disorder treatment, our one-step insurance screener lets you know whether Equip is currently in-network with your health plan. We’re constantly working to expand coverage, so if we’re not in-network with your plan yet, we hope to be soon.
No need to commute, coordinate schedules, or press pause on daily life. Equip’s virtual treatment lets clients use recovery skills where and when they’re needed, preparing them for life after treatment. Dietitians can help prep meals in clients’ kitchens, support people can join sessions from anywhere, and weight can be submitted without being seen.
Clients are matched with a dedicated care team that can include a medical provider, registered dietitian, licensed therapist, peer mentor, and family mentor. They offer weekly support, from nutritional counseling to medical care and emotional guidance. Each brings lived experience or clinical expertise to help clients and their support people through recovery.
Equip believes lasting recovery is possible for everyone with an eating disorder — no matter the diagnosis, age, or how serious their symptoms are. Their team is trained to evaluate and treat a wide range of eating disorders, no prior diagnosis required. They also address co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression, providing whole-person care.
Equip gets to know each client and develops a personalized treatment plan that pulls from the leading evidence-based approaches to best meet their needs. Treatment first helps normalize eating habits and gain weight (if needed), then shifts to a customized blend of interventions to challenge unhelpful mindsets, address unique symptoms, regulate emotions, and involve family.
