The Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt has been a national leader in the provision of eating disorder treatment for 30 years. Rooted in extensive experience, our treatment programs continuously evolve to integrate the latest research and evidence-based practices in order to meet the unique needs of each of our patients. At The Center for Eating Disorders we provide specialized care for children, adolescents and adults, who are impacted by eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, body dysmorphic disorder and other specified and unspecified feeding and eating disorders. Our holistic approach actively addresses common co-occurring illnesses including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse and PTSD. Our highly-trained team is led by Drs. Harry Brandt and Steven Crawford, both board-certified psychiatrists with a combined 60+ years specializing in the treatment of eating disorders. The Center's interdisciplinary staff includes expert psychiatrists, licensed psychologists, clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, registered dietitians, expressive arts therapists, occupational therapists and registered nurses. Specialty programs include age-specific Inpatient Programs, 12-hour/day Partial Hospital Programs, an evening Intensive Outpatient Program, comprehensive outpatient services and collaborative care workshops for parents and caregivers. At all levels of care, treatment protocols are infused with a strong cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach and high levels of family involvement. The Center for Eating Disorders' outpatient department is a privately owned professional association and our higher level of care programs operate within the not-for-profit, Sheppard Pratt Health System, repeatedly named one of the nation's top 10 Psychiatric Hospitals.
