About A Better Way Counseling Center
A Better Way Counseling Center (ABWCC) is a state-approved mental health clinic in Portland, Oregon. The center focuses on eating disorder treatment, covering bulimia, binge eating disorder, anorexia nervosa, and compulsive overeating. ABWCC also helps clients with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Care is delivered through individual, group, and family therapy, along with free support groups, including an art therapy option.
In addition to specialized eating disorder programs, ABWCC provides family-based therapy and general mental health counseling. Sessions are available for concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. The clinic also offers free informational pamphlets to support clients outside of sessions. To improve access to care, ABWCC works with a range of insurance plans for people seeking treatment.
