EDUCATION, TRAINING, and EXPERTISE: Founder and Director of Cielo House Eating Disorder Treatment programs since 2009. Nationally-recognized eating disorder treatment specialist.

The Immersive Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program is a revolutionary online mental health program for individuals struggling with Eating Disorders. Utilizing videoconferencing along with an online video game for increased engagement, our team of specialists are able to provide the highest quality virtual treatment for Eating Disorders.

Clients attend treatment from home via videoconference, while also being inside an online video game, specially adapted for their needs. Clients customize their own avatars, interact, build their community, explore and play within the online environment, while forging real human connections with their treatment group.

Treatment takes place in the afternoon, so as to not interfere with school or work. Each day involves Group Therapy and Meal Support, along with Individual Sessions throughout the week. Monthly in-Person Field Trips further a sense of cohesion and real-life application of what they learn in treatment. We use Evidence-based Treatment methods featuring a combination of skills-based and depth approaches to provide holistic care for the whole person.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:

A Community of Care Through our multidisciplinary team of providers, each of who contribute equally to the success of treatment, we strive to create a community of care. All of our clients also contribute positively to their own recovery and to those with whom they are engaging in the recovery process. We foster a true recovery community. Real Life Recovery We emphasize the importance of putting into practice the various skills and tools acquired during treatment. Everything we do in treatment has an eye towards how it could be useful in real-life situations. We strive to take treatment out of the bubble, and into the lives of our clients. You are always welcome We realize recovery can be a winding road, and we are here to help you at various points along your path. Even when completing treatment, we encourage clients to remain active in recovery communities, and we are always willing to help them at any point in the future.
