Eating Disorder Treatment in San Antonio, TX
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect how people relate to food, their bodies, and themselves. At Bariatric Counseling Center in San Antonio, our integrated team of licensed therapists and registered dietitians provides compassionate, evidence-based care for people navigating binge eating disorder, disordered eating patterns, and related behavioral health challenges.
Integrated Care for the Whole Person
Effective eating disorder treatment goes far beyond what’s on your plate. Our approach combines behavioral health counseling, nutritional support, and ongoing coordination with your medical providers. Whether you’re working through binge eating, emotional eating, restrictive eating patterns, or complex relationships with food, our team meets you where you are — without judgment, and without shame.
Behavioral Health Support
Our licensed therapists specialize in the emotional and behavioral dimensions of disordered eating. Using evidence-based approaches, we help people understand the thoughts, feelings, and coping patterns that influence eating behavior. Therapy may address emotional eating, body image, self-esteem, trauma history, and the psychological factors that often drive problematic relationships with food. All care is rooted in trauma-informed principles and people-first values.
Nutrition Counseling with Registered Dietitians
Our registered dietitians provide supportive, non-diet nutrition counseling for people with eating disorders. Rather than prescribing rigid meal plans or restriction-based approaches, we work collaboratively to build a sustainable, flexible relationship with food — one that honors hunger, fullness, and individual preferences. Our dietitians coordinate closely with therapists to ensure consistent, whole-person care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
For people who need more intensive support, our Eating Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, coordinated care while allowing you to remain in your daily life. The BCC IOP integrates individual therapy, group support, nutrition counseling, and behavioral skills-building in a compassionate, community-centered setting. Our IOP is designed for adults seeking meaningful, lasting change.
Virtual and In-Person Care Across Texas
BCC provides care for adults experiencing binge eating disorder, emotional eating, disordered eating patterns, and food-related behavioral health challenges. We do not specialize in anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa; for those conditions, we can provide referrals to appropriate specialized programs.
