Healthy Eating And Living (HEAL) Program for Eating Disorders

We help you make peace with food and live a balanced, happy life.

Eating disorders are complicated medical illnesses that can seriously harm your emotional, spiritual, and physical health. Beyond being obsessed with food and their body image, many with this affliction also suffer from depression, anxiety, or other overwhelming issues. Here at the GenPsych Healthy Eating And Living (HEAL) Program, we help you break free from the debilitating rules and obsessions of disordered eating and thinking so you can have a more peaceful relationship with food, your body, and your life.

Eating Disorder Programs in NJ

The HEAL Program at GenPsych is a highly effective, research-based program specifically designed to help adolescents and adults suffering from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Eating Disorders NOS (Not Otherwise Specified), and related disorders. Our experienced, multidisciplinary team of eating disorder specialists–including therapists, dietitian, nurses and physicians–work closely with you to interrupt destructive behaviors, face your fears, and put you on a path to recovery. Through individual and group treatment, you will decrease eating disorder symptoms, learn balanced eating, and develop healthy ways to cope.

Before entering our program, you will meet with a board-certified mental health provider for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the appropriate treatment that is right for you. For your convenience and specific care needs, we offer two different program tracks:
