What is an Eating Disorder Recovery Specialist?

An eating disorder recovery specialist is not just one person—it’s a team. At Oasis Eating Recovery, our entire facility is built around the expertise, structure, and compassion needed to treat eating disorders at every level. We specialize in supporting individuals through complex and deeply personal struggles with food, body image, and emotional health. Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why our program combines licensed professionals, evidence-based therapies, supervised nutrition, and group support to create a safe and effective path toward healing. We treat eating disorders because we believe no one should face them alone.

No matter where you are, we’re ready to help

Meet the Experts Behind Your Recovery

Eating disorder recovery takes more than one type of provider—it takes a full team of specialists who understand the complexity of both mental health and disordered eating. At Oasis Eating Recovery, every person you meet has a specific role in supporting your healing. From licensed therapists and registered dietitians to case managers and group facilitators, each team member brings expertise, empathy, and structure to your treatment experience. Together, they build a coordinated plan that meets your emotional, physical, and psychological needs. This collaborative approach ensures that nothing is missed—and that you’re always supported by someone who truly understands what recovery requires.

Lead Therapists: Personalized Therapy with Licensed Experts

At Oasis Eating Recovery, each client is thoughtfully matched with a lead therapist—either an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) or LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker)—based on their unique needs, personality, and goals. We believe the client-therapist relationship is key to effective healing, so we prioritize strong clinical matches from the start. Clients typically meet with their therapist one to two times per week to explore the emotional roots of their eating disorder, process underlying issues, and build healthier coping skills in a supportive, judgment-free space.

Registered Dietitians: Nutrition Experts in Recovery

Our registered dietitians are certified professionals trained in both medical nutrition therapy and eating disorder recovery. They work closely with each client to rebuild a positive relationship with food, create personalized meal plans, and address any fears or food-related behaviors. Our dietitians don’t just focus on what you eat—they help you understand why it matters and how it supports long-term healing.

Case Managers: Your Advocate Through Every Step

Each client is paired with a dedicated case manager who helps coordinate care, supports family communication, and ensures you’re receiving the resources you need. Whether it's navigating insurance, planning aftercare, or simply having someone to check in with, your case manager is a consistent source of guidance and support throughout your recovery journey.

Group Facilitators: Trained to Guide and Support

Group therapy at Oasis is led by trained facilitators who bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding of recovery. Many hold certifications in trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, and expressive therapies. These groups aren’t just supportive spaces—they’re structured, therapeutic environments that encourage healing, connection, and self-discovery.

The Role of Our Recovery Specialists in Your Treatment Journey

At Oasis Eating Disorders Recovery, your healing isn’t left to chance—it’s guided by experienced professionals every step of the way. Our eating disorder recovery specialists create personalized treatment plans that align with your unique needs, goals, and challenges. Whether you’re navigating anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, or another form of disordered eating, we use evidence-based care and compassionate guidance to help you move forward. From initial assessment through long-term recovery support, our clinical team is your foundation.

Personalized Treatment Plans Based on Specific Behaviors and Diagnoses

At Oasis Eating Recovery, every client begins with a thorough clinical evaluation—not just to determine a diagnosis, but to understand the full picture of their eating behaviors, emotional struggles, and life circumstances. Our eating disorder recovery specialists are trained to identify and differentiate between clinical diagnoses like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as well as patterns of disordered eating that may fall under OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders). This includes behaviors like chronic dieting, emotional eating, orthorexia tendencies, or irregular eating patterns that don’t fit neatly into one category.

These distinctions matter. A person who restricts all day and binges at night may require a different treatment plan than someone engaging in purging behaviors—even if neither meets full criteria for a formal diagnosis. By working with experienced specialists, we’re able to tailor treatment plans to the specific behaviors, emotional patterns, and mental health needs of each client. This level of detail and personalization ensures that care is both compassionate and clinically effective—no one gets overlooked, and no part of your story is minimized.

Levels of Care: PHP, IOP, and Outpatient Treatment

We offer a full range of care to meet you where you are in your recovery journey. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides structured daily support, supervised meals, and multiple therapy sessions each day—ideal for individuals needing intensive care without full-time inpatient treatment. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers flexibility while maintaining a strong clinical foundation, with group and individual therapy several days per week. For those stepping down or starting with less intensive needs, our Outpatient treatment allows for continued care while re-engaging with real-world responsibilities. At every level, our recovery specialists remain deeply involved in your care.

Therapies That Drive Lasting Recovery

Our treatment programs incorporate evidence-based therapies to address both eating behaviors and underlying mental health concerns. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for thought patterns, Nutrition Counseling with a registered dietitian, Meal Support, and Body Image Groups designed to promote healing and self-acceptance. Group therapy and support groups offer connection and peer understanding, while individual sessions help address deeper emotional struggles. All therapies are led or guided by trained clinicians who understand the complexity of eating disorders and the importance of whole-person care.

In-Person Recovery With Expert Support

Research shows that virtual eating disorder treatment can offer outcomes comparable to in-person care, especially in the short term. In fact, one study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders found that virtual therapy can be a strong option when access to trained specialists or location makes in-person treatment difficult. At Oasis Eating Recovery, we recognize the value of telehealth and support its use when it helps someone access care. That said, we intentionally provide in-person treatment because many individuals benefit from face-to-face connection, real-time support during meals, and a structured, consistent environment. For those who prefer a hands-on experience, being onsite allows for immediate access to clinicians, peer interaction, and real-world skill-building.
