Aster Springs Cincinnati helps teens ages 16 and older and adults of all genders build a more flexible relationship with food through personalized outpatient eating disorder treatment. In small groups and individual sessions, clients work with their care team to understand eating patterns, address challenges with food and body image, and practice skills they can use in everyday life. The program treats anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and other eating disorders through partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and evening virtual IOP.

Work Through More Than Food Challenges

Aster Springs considers each client's emotional, medical, nutritional, and relationship needs when building treatment plans. Therapy and nutrition support address eating behaviors, body image, and co-occurring anxiety, depression, or trauma. The team also explores how personal food choices, such as veganism, may reflect individual values or restrictions connected to an eating disorder. Care includes support for conditions such as OSFED, purging disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder.

Find a Treatment Schedule That Fits

Aster Springs offers daytime partial hospitalization (PHP) for clients who need more structured care and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) for those who need fewer treatment hours. An evening virtual IOP provides another option for people balancing treatment with school, work, or family responsibilities. Each program allows clients to continue living at home while receiving therapy and nutrition support. Clients must be medically stable to participate, as the location does not provide 24-hour supervision.

Access Additional Levels of Care

Treatment needs may change over time, and Aster Springs is part of a network that includes residential eating disorder treatment programs in Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia through Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare. These programs offer additional options for clients who need more intensive support. After treatment, former clients and families can also stay connected through weekly Stronger Together support groups.

Testimonial
Aster Springs has been one of the best things I ever did. This was my first ever treatment experience, and I am leaving more than satisfied with the care that I received. Every single staff member is extremely talented at what they do, making the environment incredibly comfortable for the clients. My struggles coming into Aster Springs were significant, but my journey here has helped tremendously. I truly mean it when I say the staff here is AMAZING and some of the most genuinely caring people I have ever met. Thank you to everyone who made my experience so positive, and I am confident that I am leaving here with all the tools I could possibly need to succeed.

Practicing Eating in the Real World
Practicing Eating in the Real World
Aster Springs uses its Versatile Nutrition™ approach to help clients eat a wider variety of foods without fear, guilt, or strict food rules. Clients practice becoming more comfortable with foods they may have avoided or feared. Dietitians and culinary staff guide them through shared meals, trying different foods, and outings to places like restaurants.
Measuring Progress Beyond the Scale
Measuring Progress Beyond the Scale
Aster Springs tracks and publishes clinical outcomes to understand how clients respond to treatment. In 2025, its outpatient programs reported a 48% reduction in overall eating disorder symptom severity and a 60% reduction in symptoms related to bulimia, including persistent thoughts about food and eating.

Admissions is led by Alycia Aldieri, who has her own experience recovering from an eating disorder. She hosts Let's Be Honest, a video series where she speaks openly about what keeps people from seeking treatment in the first place. Her firsthand experience brings a personal understanding of the fears and questions that can come with making that first call.
