Expert Clinical Eating Disorder Treatment in a Cozy Victorian Home
The Victorian is an exceptional eating disorder treatment program because it is staffed by proven clinical experts in the field of eating disorder treatment but the residential facility is anything but clinical - the women clients at the Victorian live in a warm and fun lovin g home right in Newport Beach just steps from the sand. Our caring and genuine staff connects with the loved ones that are sent here and a bond with respect and understanding is formed immediately. The women who come to the Victorian have been suffering from bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, or have been binge eating. They have been judged and hurt by their loved ones while also while also causing others pain. The cycle of an eating disorder is one of shame, confusion, and low self esteem. The Victorian is an intimate and caring escape that will allow women to arrest their eating disorder, look within, learn about what causes them to behave in certain ways, and forge a pathway to change.
The women who guide the Victorian's female clients on their path to healing are all well versed in treating the whole person, not just the eating disorder. There will be an initial assessment that will include gaining an understanding of the woman's complete life and address issues like family, culture, and social experiences.
The setting is a cozy Victorian House in exciting Newport Beach and the living arrangements could not possibly be more comfortable or welcoming. Program Director Michele Lob has created the perfect environment for a woman to receive top notch clinical care while feeling as though they are guests at a loving vacation home surrounded by others who are learning to live a new life together.
The clinical process of the Victorian has been designed and is overseen by acclaimed eating disorder treatment physician Dr. Barbara Cole. She is a pioneer in the field of treatment with her “no resistance method” and has authored many books on the subject.
The caring and nurturing Victorian staff gently supports our clients with meal preparation and mealtime monitoring. Clients are taught cooking skills and enjoy regular restaurant outings.
