Sanford Comprehensive Treatment for Eating Disorders (CTED, LLC)

Sanford Comprehensive Treatment for Eating Disorders is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). CARF is a nationally recognized accreditation organization, which surveys treatment programs against 1,500 CARF standards.

Convenient Locations - Eating disorders are treated in both our Grand Rapids outpatient location, and at Sanford West Behavioral Health Campus 12-minutes from downtown Grand Rapids in Marne, Michigan. Therapy may be individual or group; we utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, interpersonal, and family systems therapy. The groups are led by clinical therapists and registered dieticians. Emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT) is our primary family modality. Therapy includes members of the immediate family whenever possible, especially with younger individuals still living at home.

Health at Every Size - We practice a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach, which honors body diversity and encourages movement for health and enjoyment, not to lose weight. Our ultimate goal for everyone we treat, is to return to Intuitive Eating behaviors – eat when hungry, stop when full. However, most of the individuals we treat have practiced unhealthy eating habits for so long they have reduced or eliminated the body’s hunger and fullness cues. Often following a prescribed meal pattern for some time is necessary before Intuitive Eating can be reestablished.

The Sanford CTED Team - We are proud of the team we have assembled, with some of the brightest minds in the behavioral health field. The team at Sanford CTED includes:
