About Mclean Klarman Eating Disorders Center
McLean Klarman Eating Disorders Center is designed to help young women, ages 16 to 26, recover from eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. They serve those who are in need of 24-hour assistance for treatment, as well as young women who are also diagnosed and seeking help for coexisting disorders, like depression, anxiety, or addiction. They draw resources from the renowned McLean Hospital in Belmont and typically have their patients stay for 4 to 6 weeks. Their treatment plans consist of specific aspects tailored for young women to make meaningful and lasting impacts on their lives. This includes Evidence-based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic therapy.
A Harvard Medical School affiliate, McLean Klarman is an accredited institution. They take every measure to make sure their patients thrive within their time there and afterwards. The experienced team will conduct medical, psychiatric, and nutritional evaluations for each woman and monitor her food intake, vitals, and bathrooms. McLean Klarman uses medically useful tactics to help their patients, and they also include yoga, art therapy, cooking classes, and self-esteem and body image development lessons to create a comprehensive treatment plan.
