Valenta Eating Disorder Recovery
Our motto, adverto vitum, means “to turn toward life”. Here at Valenta, our ultimate goal is to assist you in your recovery and living life to its fullest potential. Recovery from an Eating Disorder is a journey, not an event. Starting that journey takes incredible courage, and our compassionate, knowledgeable and experienced staff is here to help you in your recovery. Together we can determine the most appropriate treatment options for your path to health. Our staff has extensive knowledge in the treatment of Eating Disorders, instillation of hope, and the application of evidence-based treatment modalities. The Valenta programs integrate the most effective medical and therapeutic treatments available to assist in the recovery from mental illness and to facilitate the patient transitioning back to healthy living with the necessary skills and knowledge to cope, challenge, and flourish in life. Most important, and in contrast to many programs, is Valenta’s approach of building and restoring health in addition to removing the symptoms of the mental illness.
At Valenta, Dr. Jeffrey Mar is the medical director and is triple board certified in adult psychiatry, child psychiatry, and pediatrics. He is also a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) and is well known in the community as one of the leading professionals in the treatment of eating disorders.. Alongside Dr. Mar, Valenta has Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), psychologists (PhD), social workers (LCSW), and Registered Dietitians on staff. The team works together to provide the best possible care and treatment to their patients throughout their recovery process. The treatment Valenta provides is consistent with the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients with Eating Disorders; the most comprehensive guideline currently available for Anorexia Nervosa Treatment.
To best facilitate recovery, a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach most appropriately addresses the multifaceted illnesses. All Valenta programs content is focused on providing the patient with opportunities for recovery and healing of body, mind, soul and relationships.
