Empowered is Austin’s locally owned and operated adult eating disorder program – born from a true desire to serve those we saw suffering in our community. We specialize in treating women and men whose eating disorders are intertwined with trauma, attachment issues, and co-occurring disorders, and those who are looking for a comprehensive way to heal their relationship with food and lead a fully empowered life.

At Empowered, we work to heal not only behaviors around food, but also the underlying emotional, cognitive, relational, and nervous system patterns that have served to establish and maintain these behaviors.
We combine group therapy, individual therapy, nutrition counseling, dietitian-led food groups, daily process groups, supported group meals, psychiatric and medical monitoring, and yoga – all to heal our client’s relationship with themselves and their body.

Our program currently runs Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10:30am–1:30pm, and clients receive:
• Weekly individual therapy
• Weekly session with a registered dietitian
• Psychiatric support weekly
• ACT-based and trauma forward
• Recovery coaching and community-focused support
• Weekly family or couples therapy when appropriate
• Monthly family intensives to support loved ones
