About Opal: Food and Body Wisdom

Opal: Food and Body Wisdom is an outpatient clinic treating adults with eating disorders of all kinds and co-occurring obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Opal offers two levels of day treatment, including a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Their program hours allow clients to get the care they need and get back to school or work when they are ready in their recovery to do so.
Opal: Food and Body Wisdom seeks to help free people from diet culture and to inspire cultural change around food, body, movement, and mental health. They offer a non-diet and non-weight based treatment program. To this end, Opal aims to help each client find healing in their relationship with food and body. They aim to be weight-inclusive, incorporating nutrition counseling, movement, and exposure and response prevention all grounded in a relational therapy model that leads to transformational healing. Opal provides several group experiences that include creative expression, movement, body wisdom, nutrition education, life stories, and more. Opal also provides free Alumni Groups to help former Opal clients to continue their recovery process after treatment.
