Prosperity Eating Disorders and Wellness Reston

Prosperity Eating Disorders and Wellness Center provides individualized treatment that is patient-led, family-included, and facilitated by highly experienced clinicians. They treat anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), unspecified eating disorders (ED NOS), and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). They also treat co-occurring anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), self-harm, and substance use disorders. Programs include partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) options for adults and adolescents ages 10+. The IOP is offered during the day or evening. Groups are composed by age and developmental level rather than diagnosis. Prosperity helps clients understand how their eating disorder developed, how it has been maintained, and how to live a full life without it. Their approach integrates Health at Every Size (HAES), All Foods Fit, and compassionate, personalized treatment. They draw on evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT). Programming includes individual therapy, nutrition counseling, psychiatry, family meetings, and family therapy. Traditional modalities are complemented by holistic approaches like art therapy, music therapy, and yoga. In a nurturing and friendly manner, Prosperity helps clients discover that all foods can fit into a nutritionally balanced lifestyle. They work alongside clients to create a customized meal plan that promotes self-efficacy and a positive relationship with food. They use a plate-based system with attention to portioning and nutrient balance, but they can also use exchange-based plans if that is best for the client. During meals, staff will appropriately challenge clients’ disordered thoughts, table behaviors, food fears, and food rules and rituals. Clients are exposed to portioning practice, grocery outings, restaurant outings, cooking groups, challenge snacks, and more. Each meal includes processing time for clients to discuss their challenges and skills to help them move toward recovery. As clients become more in tune with hunger and fullness cues, they transition to an intuitive eating plan that provides true food freedom. Prosperity’s outpatient facility is warm and inviting. With well-decorated spaces featuring cozy couches and real dining tables, the center provides a comfortable, relaxed environment that encourages healing and connection. Thoughtfully designed to be wheelchair and larger body accessible, Prosperity ensures all clients can access care in a welcoming and supportive setting. Discounted rates at a nearby motel are offered for families in PHP.
