Empowering Recovery

Our Story

At The Eating Disorder Alliance Project, we are dedicated to supporting clients in a group setting, where compassion and support are prioritized. Our therapy groups focus on body image support, meal preparation, and recovery support, providing a comprehensive approach to healing.

The Eating Disorder Alliance Project started with a shared vision among a group of talented and passionate Certified Eating Disorder Specialists in Richmond. Recognizing the need for a collaborative approach to eating disorder recovery, they joined forces to create a space where individuals could find compassionate and evidence-based support.

Over the years, The Eating Disorder Alliance Project has had the privilege of serving clients from diverse backgrounds who have struggled with eating disorders and body image issues. We are proud to have played a role in their journey towards healthier futures.
