Empathetic treatment for teens, young adults, and families navigating eating disorder recovery
Vitum Mental Health serves individuals and families throughout Long Beach with specialized treatment for eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our programs address anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and related concerns through evidence-based treatment approaches tailored to each client's clinical needs..
| Anorexia Nervosa |
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by persistent food restriction, an intense fear of gaining weight, and body image disturbances that can significantly impact physical and emotional health. The condition often results in substantial weight loss and nutritional complications. Treatment in Long Beach focuses on restoring physical health through nutritional rehabilitation while addressing the psychological factors that contribute to disordered eating behaviors.

| Bulimia Nervosa |
Individuals with bulimia nervosa often experience cycles of consuming large amounts of food followed by behaviors aimed at offsetting calorie intake. Over time, these patterns may result in serious physical health consequences and emotional distress. Eating disorder treatment in Long Beach incorporates psychotherapy, nutrition counseling, and clinical support to help individuals establish healthier coping strategies and reduce binge-purge behaviors.

| Binge Eating Disorder |
Binge eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of eating unusually large quantities of food, often accompanied by a sense of loss of control. Unlike other eating disorders, these episodes are not regularly followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging or excessive exercise. The condition can contribute to emotional distress, changes in weight, and various physical health concerns. Treatment typically includes psychotherapy, nutrition counseling, and skill development to promote balanced eating patterns and long-term recovery.

| AFRID |
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder characterized by limited or selective eating that is not driven by concerns about body weight or shape. Individuals with ARFID may avoid certain foods due to sensory sensitivities, fear of adverse consequences such as choking, or a lack of interest in eating. These behaviors can result in nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and impaired growth or development. Treatment typically combines therapeutic interventions and nutritional support to increase food variety and improve overall nutritional health.

| Exercise Addiction |
Exercise addiction involves persistent, compulsive engagement in physical activity that extends beyond healthy fitness goals. Over time, these behaviors can contribute to physical strain, emotional distress, and impaired daily functioning. Treatment emphasizes behavioral intervention, psychological support, and the development of sustainable exercise habits that support overall well-being.

| Co-occurring Conditions |
Eating disorders frequently occur alongside other mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and trauma-related concerns. When multiple conditions are present, symptoms can become more difficult to manage without comprehensive clinical support. Treatment programs that address both the eating disorder and co-occurring mental health challenges provide a more integrated approach to recovery through coordinated, evidence-based care.
