Prosperity Eating Disorders and Wellness Norfolk

About Prosperity Eating Disorders and Wellness Norfolk

Prosperity Eating Disorders and Wellness Center offers personalized treatment tailored to each individual, involving the participation of family members and delivered by a team of highly skilled clinicians. The center specializes in addressing various eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), unspecified eating disorders (ED NOS), and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Additionally, they work with those experiencing co-occurring issues such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), self-harming behaviors, and substance use disorders. They provide partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs for adolescents and adults aged 10 and up, with the IOP available during daytime or evening hours. Groups are organized by age and developmental stage rather than solely by diagnosis.

Prosperity assists clients in understanding the origins and perpetuation of their eating disorders while guiding them to lead fulfilling lives beyond these challenges. Their approach is rooted in concepts such as Health at Every Size (HAES) and emphasizes the idea that all foods have a place in a balanced diet, supported by compassionate and individualized treatment plans. Evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT), form the basis of their programming. Services offered include individual therapy, nutrition guidance, psychiatric support, family meetings, and family therapy, supplemented by holistic methods like art therapy, music therapy, and yoga.

In a supportive and nurturing environment, Prosperity encourages clients to appreciate that all foods can be incorporated into a healthy eating lifestyle. They collaborate with clients to develop customized meal plans emphasizing self-efficacy and a positive relationship with food. A plate-based system focuses on portion control and nutritional balance, while exchange-based options are also available if preferred by the client. During meals, staff gently challenge disordered thoughts, table behaviors, food anxieties, and rituals. Clients engage in practical experiences such as portioning practice, grocery shopping, restaurant outings, cooking sessions, and snack challenges. Each meal is accompanied by processing time, allowing clients to discuss their experiences and develop coping skills essential for recovery. As clients learn to better recognize hunger and fullness signals, they shift towards an intuitive eating approach that fosters genuine food freedom.

The outpatient facility at Prosperity is warm and welcoming, featuring tastefully decorated areas with cozy seating and communal dining tables that promote a relaxed atmosphere conducive to healing and connection. Designed to be accessible for individuals using wheelchairs or with larger body sizes, Prosperity ensures that all clients receive care in an inviting and supportive environment. Families participating in PHP can access discounted accommodations at a nearby motel.
