Facility Description
The Center for Hope of the Sierras, a residential treatment center for Anorexia, Bulimia & Related Eating Disorders, is nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, less than 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe. The residence is a large, yet cozy Victorian-style home with spacious bedrooms and individual therapy rooms. Numerous common areas offer a welcoming environment for group functions. The stunning yard features several large-covered porches with sitting areas, a koi pond with waterfalls, spa tub, gardens and a horseback riding rink and stable.

Treatment Philosophy
We believe that clients with eating disorders are unique, creative, caring and sensitive individuals who may struggle to find a connection with their true inner spirit. To recover from an eating disorder, the person must develop a sense of their own spirit and self, and a belief that their emotions are valid, important, and worth noticing. At the Center for Hope of the Sierras, we help clients to redefine their lives by finding meaning based on their unique gifts, interests, and talents separate from their body and their eating disorder. To accomplish this, the Center offers a multitude of individual, family and group therapies designed to heal. These include art therapy, equestrian & pet therapy, massage therapy, educational classes, yoga and meditation, music lessons, horticulture, language and photography classes and alternative approaches to provide healing to the whole being.

Family Program
Individual and Multi-Family Group Therapy is provided during treatment, and can have multiple goals. These include re-establishing healthier boundaries, decreasing the person’s role in family or parental conflicts, decreasing blame, improving communication, appropriate assertion and accountability, establishing age-appropriate family roles, and identifying family attitudes or beliefs which may drive the eating disorder.
