Rock Recovery is an eating disorder therapy nonprofit that was founded in 2009 to make life-saving outpatient eating disorder therapy and support more accessible and affordable for all. See more about our story and founder here.

At Rock Recovery, we know how isolating and overwhelming the eating disorder recovery journey can be. In order to break free from obsessive thoughts around food, exercise and body image, you need quality eating disorder therapy and a community that understands what you’re going through.

The problem is, robust eating disorder care can be hard to find and expensive, which can make you feel like recovery will never be within your reach. We believe that true freedom from eating disorders is possible and that no one should be turned away because they can’t afford treatment. Our vision is for a world where eating disorders are understood, and the journey to freedom is fully supported.

Our Key Values:

Our doors are open to all who wish to partake in their journey to freedom with us without regard to religion, race, or any other factor. Our eating disorder therapy services are weight-inclusive and trauma-informed.

We believe it is critical to care for the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. We also offer nationwide faith-based support groups for individuals who seek to integrate their faith into the recovery process. Click here to learn more about all of our therapy and support services.

Freedom & Faith 

We believe that complete freedom from disordered eating is possible, and that faith in something greater than ourselves can help us overcome our struggles.

Acceptance & Authenticity
