Eating Disorder Treatment & Community Support in San Diego, CA.

Alsana is exploring a new eating disorder treatment community in San Diego, with plans to support adolescents and adults through compassionate, evidence-based care.

As we get to know the San Diego community, our priority is simple: to listen. We’re connecting with local providers, professionals, families, and community partners to better understand the needs of those we hope to serve.

We’d Like to Hear From You

As Alsana prepares to become part of the San Diego community, we’re creating opportunities to connect with local providers and professionals and learn from those who know the community best.

Our upcoming Gatherings with Alsana CEO Jordan Watson are small, conversational events designed to help us better understand the needs, challenges, and opportunities within San Diego’s eating disorder treatment community and explore how Alsana can be a thoughtful, collaborative partner.

Listening to the San Diego Community

Before we open our doors, we want to hear from the people who know this community best.

These gatherings are designed to be conversations, not presentations. We invite you to share your perspective, ask questions, and help us better understand how Alsana can be a thoughtful partner in the San Diego community.

    This place truly made me leave with a smile. I felt like I was meant to be there. They deeply care about you and not just your eating disorder. All the staff is awesome and want the best for you! They have a rotating menu and also include client creations once a week which was so fun to engage in. They truly make it a less stressful environment.

    I loved my experience in treatment because of all of the people I could relate to. I didn’t feel ashamed anymore…Aside from having my children, getting help and going to treatment is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself in my life! I now feed myself literally and figuratively and that’s the key!

    Testimonials
  • Stars

    This place honestly saved my life. The programs are well-organized, the groups were great, and all the therapists and dietitians are very knowledgeable, empathetic, and trustworthy. The food is superb as well, made by a very friendly chef. All the direct care staff are caring and compassionate. I went in feeling hopeless and defeated and left feeling hopeful and renewed. Highly recommend.
