We Make Recovery Possible for All

At Eating Recovery Center and Pathlight, we believe recovery is possible for everyone because we’ve seen it happen thousands of times over. Our mission is to combine evidence-based research with genuine human connection, to treat not just the condition, but the person behind it.

You are supported by a dedicated team of psychiatrists, clinicians, dietitians, nurses, case managers, and alumni coordinators who work together to guide healing at every step. It’s care built on compassion, fueled by science, and proven to last.

The Core Values that Drive Your Care

Compassion

Every recovery story begins with empathy. You and your family deserve care that feels human, supportive, and rooted in hope. That’s exactly what you’ll find here.

Collaboration

Recovery isn’t a solo journey, it takes a team. Here, you’re surrounded by specialists who listen, families who support, and a community that lifts you up. Every perspective matters, and together we build the path forward.

Integrity

Your trust is sacred to us. That’s why we’re transparent and honest in our decisions and interactions. When we say we’ll walk beside you, we mean it—and we follow through.

Inclusivity

Every story has a place here. No matter your background, experience, or identity, you’ll find support where you are respected, valued, and welcomed exactly as you are.

Accountability

We hold ourselves to the same standard we ask of our patients. Show up, do the work, and honor our commitments. Accountability isn’t just a promise, it’s how we deliver the care you deserve.

Flexibility

Curiosity drives us, and innovation turns that curiosity into action. There’s no one-size-fits-all care here. We adapt to your needs and support you in the way that fits you best.
