Our Treatment Philosophy

The Lotus Collaborative was created to address the need for advanced eating disorder care in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Lotus’ vision goes beyond traditional methods, recognizing that true healing isn’t achieved through impersonal, outcome-focused practices alone. Recovery is rooted in education, self-awareness, and the tools to replace harmful behaviors with healthier, sustainable alternatives.

We focus on aligning the heart, body, mind, and soul to foster a holistic path to healing. We take the time to understand who you are—your experiences, challenges, strengths, and aspirations—because your journey is as unique as you are.

You don’t have to want recovery to start. Wherever you are, we’ll meet you there, offering compassionate support at every stage. Our culturally sensitive team understands the significance of gender identity and sexual orientation in the recovery process. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive space where every client feels valued, heard, and empowered to grow.

You’re not a problem to fix — you’re a whole person, deserving of care, respect, and understanding for every part of your journey.
