April is Autism Acceptance Month 💙

At Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center, we recognize that every individual’s experience with food, body image, and mental health is deeply personal—and for many in the autistic community, those experiences can be even more complex.

Autism is a different way of experiencing the world. Acceptance means listening, learning, and creating spaces where neurodiversity is understood, respected, and supported.

We are committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that honors sensory needs, communication styles, and the unique challenges autistic individuals may face in their recovery journey.

This month—and every month—we stand for acceptance, inclusion, and care that meets people where they are.

At Blue Ridge, we believe healing happens together 💛

That’s why Family-Based Treatment – Enhanced (FBT-E) is a core part of how we support adolescent eating disorder recovery—centering families in the healing process.

Collaboration days are our favorite kind of days 🤍

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Elizabeth Heffner & Alyson Warke from Tower Behavioral Health and Emily Dumas, M.A., LMFT, CEDS-C from Seeds of Hope for a tour of Blue Ridge—and of course, we had to keep the conversation going over a collaborative lunch next door at the winery.

It’s always so meaningful when different levels of care come together in one space. From inpatient to residential to PHP, moments like these remind us how important connection and collaboration are in supporting those we serve.

Different roles, shared mission—and maybe a little laughter along the way.

Grateful for partnerships that make this work stronger! 💫

Easter is in full swing at Blue Ridge 🐰

We know how important it is for the kiddos in our care to stay engaged in the moments that matter. That’s why even during treatment, we make space for celebration, tradition, and joy—helping adolescents experience life while building the skills to sustain recovery.

Healing and living can happen at the same time 🌸

🚨 When is it time for a higher level of care?

This is one of the most common—and most difficult—questions families and providers face when supporting an adolescent with an eating disorder.

It’s not always about doing more…
It’s about whether the level of care truly matches what’s needed for recovery.

Join us for our upcoming webinar:
Is It Time for Residential Treatment? Understanding Levels of Care in Adolescent Eating Disorders

Led by Blue Ridge’s multidisciplinary leadership team, we’ll break down:
🔹 How levels of care differ across the full continuum
🔹 Key clinical, nutritional, and medical indicators
🔹 When a shift in care may be needed
🔹 What residential treatment actually provides
🔹 How to approach an adolescent who may be struggling

Whether you’re a parent navigating next steps or a provider supporting patients across levels of care, this session will offer clarity, guidance, and real-world insight.

As we wrap up National Nutrition Month, it’s a meaningful time to reflect on the messages we hear about food, health, and body image.

For adolescents in eating disorder recovery, diet culture can make healing even harder—often disguising itself as “health.”

In our newest blog, our Director of Nutrition, Katie Westfield, breaks down how diet culture impacts teens—and what true healing can look like.

Because recovery is about nourishment, not control.💙

There’s nothing more meaningful than hearing from families who have walked this journey💛

“Day one dropping her off was hard… but with kindness and support, she felt comforted.”

Recovery is not just about treatment—it’s about trust, relationships, and feeling truly seen. At Blue Ridge, we believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and individualized care, creating a space where adolescents feel supported—and families can find hope again.

We’re honored to be part of stories like this and to walk alongside each family every step of the way.

If you’re looking to learn more about our program or explore whether Blue Ridge could be the right fit, we’re here to help.

Spring reminds us that change doesn’t happen all at once—it unfolds, gently and intentionally.

At Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center, that same philosophy guides our care. With an intentionally small census and a clinician-run model, we create space for truly individualized healing in a warm, home-like setting.

Our multidisciplinary team works hand in hand to support each adolescent’s journey, every step of the way.

And with the right support, meaningful change begins to take root—we currently have immediate availability to welcome those ready to begin. 🌸

✨ Staff Spotlight: Katharine Westfield, MS, RD, LD, CNSC, IEDS, Director of Nutrition ✨

Continuing with National Nutrition Month - we’re proud to highlight Katie, our Director of Nutrition, whose work helps adolescents rebuild trust with food and their bodies every day at Blue Ridge.

Katie’s passion for eating disorder recovery began while working in the ICU providing advanced nutrition support. Seeing patients with severe, end-stage eating disorders inspired her to focus on helping individuals heal their relationship with food earlier and support long-term recovery.

In her role, Katie works closely with residents to challenge food rules, rebuild trust with their bodies, and create a supportive environment where food freedom can grow. She also helps residents process body image concerns while strengthening self-esteem and recognizing that their worth goes far beyond a number on a scale or a clothing tag.

One of her favorite parts of working at Blue Ridge is walking alongside residents as they rediscover themselves and their confidence throughout recovery.

“Nourishment means helping adolescents see that food is a source of energy, comfort, connection, and care for their bodies.”

We’re grateful for the compassion, expertise, and heart she brings to the Blue Ridge community every day.💙

As this spring season reminds us, growth takes time. Learning emotional regulation helps adolescents understand their feelings, develop healthier coping skills, and build resilience on the path to recovery.

Recovery is possible, and emotional skills are an important part of that healing journey.

If you or someone you love needs support, our team is always here to help navigate the healing journey.
