Today we're celebrating the women of Louisville Center for Eating Disorders and women everywhere who are working for a more just, compassionate world. 💜

From leading research-informed treatment to sitting with clients through some of the hardest moments of their lives, the women on our team bring expertise, courage, and deep care to this work every day.

On International Women’s Day, we honor the women who paved the way in mental health and eating disorder treatment, and we stand with those who are still fighting for access, equity, and respect in healthcare.

Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at LCED. 🌼

March is Women’s History Month, and we’re honoring the women whose stories, research, and advocacy have shaped eating disorder care along with the women in our community who are bravely seeking treatment today.

At Louisville Center for Eating Disorders, we’re here to make sure those stories include access to specialized, evidence-based care for recovery. 💖

During Eating Disorders Awareness Week, if there’s even a small part of you that wonders, “What if my life could look different?” that part is worth listening to. 💖

At Louisville Center for Eating Disorders, we see people step into new chapters every day:

- People who thought they’d never eat certain foods again
- People who believed they were “too old” or “too far gone” to change
- People who had tried treatment before and still found something different this time

Recovery doesn’t erase the pages that came before. It adds new ones: where your relationships, values, and interests get more space than the eating disorder does.

When you’re in the middle of an eating disorder, recovery can sound like losing the only thing that feels familiar. From our side of the table at LCED, we’ve watched recovery look like:

👉 Laughing with friends at a restaurant without secretly planning how to “fix it” later
👉 Saying yes to opportunities you used to turn down because of food or body rules
👉 Having enough energy to care about your classes, your job, your relationships again

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week exists because eating disorders are serious. We exist because change is possible.

You don’t have to believe in recovery 100% to start. You just have to be willing to let a team believe in it for you, until you can see more of it yourself.🫶

If you live in or near Louisville and you’re struggling with an eating disorder, you’re not limited to finding someone who sort of treats this. There is a center in your city where everything is designed around eating disorder treatment:

💚 Structured programs (PHP and IOP)
💚 Individual and group therapy
💚 Dietitians who understand ED physiology, not just meal plans
💚Medical and psychiatric oversight

This Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we want people to know:
you are not “too complicated,” “too far gone,” or “not sick enough” for specialized care. You’re exactly who Louisville Center for Eating Disorders exists for.

If you’re curious about what treatment here actually looks like, reach out. Asking questions is not a commitment, it’s gathering information you deserve to have.💖 https://www.louisvillecenterforeatingdisorders.com/contact-us/

02/20/2026

At Louisville Center for Eating Disorders, we collect and monitor outcome data to understand how people are actually doing over time not just whether they’re showing up.

That means we look at:
- Symptom severity
- Medical indicators
- Daily functioning and quality of life

Why? Because you deserve treatment where:
- Progress is defined clearly
- Plans can be adjusted based on what’s working (and what isn’t)
- Recovery is possible is a measurable statement, not just a slogan

Your experience matters 🤲. The numbers help us honor and support it more precisely. Take a look at our treatment outcomes here: https://www.louisvillecenterforeatingdisorders.com/intensive-outpatient-information/treatment-outcomes/

You don’t have to wait until you “check every box” on a diagnostic list to take your eating concerns seriously.

Disordered eating can look like:
- Constantly changing food rules
- Avoiding events because of what might be served
- Exercising to “earn” or “undo” eating
- Intense guilt or shame after eating

Over time, patterns like these can develop into full eating disorders; or they may already be there, even if you’re not sure.(women's health mag)

If food and body thoughts are taking up more space in your life than you want them to, that’s reason enough to reach out. You don’t have to wait until things get “bad enough” to deserve help. Contact us now: https://www.louisvillecenterforeatingdisorders.com/contact-us/

Presidents' Day often focuses on big leadership and big decisions.
Here’s a quieter reminder: you don’t have to be the “president” of everything in your life all the time.

At Louisville Center for Eating Disorders, recovery is a team effort: therapists, dietitians, medical providers, group members, and loved ones all play a part. You don’t have to lead this one by yourself.

This Presidents' Day, consider this your permission slip to stop managing it all alone and to ask what support could look like for you. 🎇💖

Valentine’s Day can feel sweet, complicated, or like just another day on the calendar. However it lands for you this year, here’s your reminder:

You are loved.
You are not a burden.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to deserve care.

At Louisville Center for Eating Disorders, we’re here when you’re ready, whether that’s now, soon, or “I’m just gathering information.” 💗

Today we’re celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science by highlighting our own scientist-practitioner, Dr. Skyler Mitchell, Psy.D., Clinical Director at Louisville Center for Eating Disorders.

The treatments we use for eating disorders don’t come from guesswork, they come from years of research, data, and clinicians who stay curious. Dr. Mitchell’s work sits at the intersection of science and care: bringing evidence-based approaches into real people’s lives every day.

To every girl and woman who loves questions, data, and figuring out how things work, there is a place for you in science, psychology, and eating disorder research. And to those already doing this work: thank you for helping move treatment forward for our community.

Did you know there’s an option between once-a-week therapy and full-time hospitalization? Intensive Outpatient (IOP) is a level of care for people who need more structure and support than standard outpatient, but who can still safely live at home and keep some pieces of their daily routine.

At Louisville Center for Eating Disorders, IOP typically includes:

👉 Several hours of programming on multiple days per week
👉 Group therapy, individual work, and dietitian support
👉 Meal or snack support
👉 Coordination with medical and psychiatric providers

It’s built for the in-between space: when an eating disorder is taking over more of your life, but you don’t want (or need) to step completely away from school, work, or family. Get to know your options here: https://www.louisvillecenterforeatingdisorders.com/intensive-outpatient-information/
