About Center for Discovery Torrance
Center for Discovery Torrance offers structured day treatment and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for people of all genders and ages 10 and older across the South Bay region. Clients receive treatment grounded in evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), somatic experiencing, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). The center also provides a specialized virtual Path to Peacebinge eating disorder (BED) program, delivering individualized guidance for those managing BED.
A key part of the program is the CARE-CFD dietary model, titled “consistent attuned relational eating,” which focuses on trauma-informed nutrition therapy, shared decision-making, and an inclusive, Health at Every Size®-informed perspective. Participants collaborate with a Body Trust-certified dietitian who has experience supporting clients with co-occurring disorders and addiction. The treatment plan may include yoga and other supportive activities designed to strengthen joy, calm, and comprehensive healing.
Center for Discovery Torrance works with a range of insurance plans and helps clients confirm coverage so they can better understand their benefits. With virtual telehealth options and flexible scheduling, the center makes it easier for individuals to access care that matches their circumstances.
