Three Eating Disorder Recovery Resources in Rockville, Maryland

 By: Jennifer Rollin, LCSW-C, Therapist & Founder of The Eating Disorder Center

As an eating disorder therapist, founder of The Eating Disorder Center, and a person who recovered from an eating disorder, I am highly passionate about connecting others to eating disorder recovery resources.

Eating disorder recovery can be hard at times, and it’s helpful to find as many supportive resources as possible, to not go through it alone. 

The following are a few eating disorder recovery resources in Rockville, Maryland.

​
1. Yoga Thrive

Yoga Thrive is a local yoga studio in Rockville, Maryland. Some individuals in eating disorder recovery benefit from taking some time completely off from movement. Others find it helpful to incorporate forms of movement that they find enjoyable (not things that their ED tells them they ‘have to do’).

Yoga has been shown to be helpful for some when it comes to body image as well as eating disorder recovery.

It can help you to focus on being more mindful in the present moment and feeling more embodied and connected to your body.

While I cannot vouch for any individual teachers at this time, my previous experience at Yoga Thrive was a positive one, and I did not notice any diet culture comments in their classes. 

Of course, again, I cannot speak to every teacher. I would recommend trying a class there if you are interested and seeing if it resonates with you. I specifically enjoyed the gentle flow and restorative classes.

Their space is also beautiful and relaxing, and they offer workshops there as well!

Of course, it’s important to first consult with your doctor and treatment team before embarking on a new form of movement in eating disorder recovery.


2. NAMI

The National Alliance on Mental Illness is a local nonprofit. While it is not specifically geared towards eating disorders, many individuals with eating disorders also have co-occurring issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar or trauma.

NAMI offers a variety of resources for mental health, including free support groups, a helpline and crisis chat, and more.

They also have a section on their website with information about eating disorders and finding support.

3. The Eating Disorder Center

The Eating Disorder Center in Rockville, Maryland specializes in therapy for children (7+), teens, and adults with eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, OSFED, ARFID, orthorexia, and compulsive exercise. We also have therapists who specialize in eating disorders co-occurring with trauma, OCD, and mood disorders.

We provide therapy services in our office in Rockville, Maryland as well as virtually throughout the state of Maryland.

Many of our team members have personally recovered or have supported a loved one in recovery. We are all highly trained and skilled when it comes to helping people to find food freedom, body acceptance, and to practice self-compassion.

We are action-oriented therapists and love to help clients to set recovery goals and do therapy homework between sessions. We also use exposure therapy methods with clients in sessions, when appropriate.

Eating disorders are highly treatable, and specialized therapy can be a game-changer!
