Eating Disorder Treatment
At The Lotus Collaborative, we know that recovery is about more than food and body. It’s about rebuilding connection, safety, and self-trust.
Our team offers deeply personalized, trauma-informed care for individuals age 14 and up who are navigating eating disorders and related challenges. Our programs go beyond symptom reduction, honor your lived experience, and blend evidence-based treatment with heart-centered care.
With in-person programs in Santa Cruz and San Francisco, and virtual options across California, we offer Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs, along with individual therapy, nutrition counseling, and specialized groups for all identities and all bodies.
Levels of Care
Eating Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
(14+ | In-person, Virtual, or Hybrid)
Our IOP offers meaningful support and accountability while allowing space for school, work, or family life. Clients typically attend programming three to seven days a week. This level of care is well-suited for those stepping down from a higher level of care or needing more than weekly therapy to make meaningful progress in recovery. The program includes individual therapy, group therapy, nutrition counseling, family therapy, and meal support.
Eating Disorder Intensive Day Program (PHP)
(14+ | In-Person or Hybrid)
Our PHP is the most intensive level of outpatient care, offering a supportive, healing environment five to seven days a week. This level is ideal for individuals who benefit from a high degree of structure and support but do not require 24-hour inpatient care. The program includes individual therapy, group therapy, nutrition counseling, family therapy, meal support, and psychiatry.
What people are saying
"The staff at Lotus are really caring & feel like real people. My therapist had her own eating disorder & recovered from it. She immediately got me, and I started to feel hope. I learned so much about myself that, for so long, I didn’t understand.”
