A Holistic Approach.

At Alsana, we treat people- not just illnesses. We’ve designed all of our programming in alignment with our Adaptive Care Model®, which prescribes an individualized, holistic care approach for clients recovering from eating disorders and co-occurring conditions. This evidence-based method seeks to facilitate multidimensional healing for the whole person through medical,  therapeutic,  and nutritional  care and relational  and  movement  therapies.

All-Inclusive Nutrition Philosophy.

We believe in the flexibility and enjoyment of foods without shame or judgment. Our All-Inclusive Nutrition approach embraces the usefulness of all foods, including those that are compact, innovative, and nutrient-rich, to aid in restoring and healing the brain, body, and gut microbiome. This approach broadens nutrition healing for our clients from all cultural and diverse backgrounds. Our all-inclusive nutrition programming helps ethically vegan clients understand the motivations behind their dietary preferences and learn how to cope in situations where vegan nourishment options are unavailable so they can maintain recovery post-treatment.

 

Our goal is to create food neutrality by taking out the moral judgment of food and focusing on nourishment, flexibility, and pleasure in the nutritional healing process.

Free Online Eating Disorder Support Groups.

Alsana support groups are offered at no cost to support adults of all genders in their eating disorder recovery. This group is pro-recovery and its goals are to help people suffering from eating disorders know they’re not alone, reduce shame, brainstorm solutions to common challenges, relate to one another, and inspire hope.

A Compassion-Focused Approach.

Many eating disorder clients enter treatment with a self-compassion deficit. At Alsana, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is used alongside other therapeutic approaches to help clients.

 

  • Neutralize shame and blame.
  • Develop self-compassion and mindfulness skills.
  • Foster connection and social support.
  • Address underlying emotional issues.
  • Build transferable skills to sustain recovery after treatment.
