Expert eating disorder care. Made easier to navigate.

The Eating Disorders Program is a structured outpatient program directed by Dr. Heather Rosen. It offers evaluation, early intervention, step-down support after a higher level of care, and ongoing treatment, in person at our Chappaqua and Hartsdale offices or online.

Yes. The Eating Disorders Program offers outpatient treatment in person at our Chappaqua and Hartsdale offices and by secure video for people across New York State. Care includes individual therapy for teens, young adults, and adults, with family involvement for adolescents.

Evaluation may include a screening questionnaire, a detailed conversation about eating patterns and behaviors, a review of medical and mental health history, and coordination with other providers when needed. We also assess medical risk and co-occurring concerns to recommend the safest, most appropriate next step.

In Family-Based Treatment, parents take an active role in supporting eating and recovery at home, with guidance from the therapist. Parents are partners in treatment rather than observers, and the clinician helps them manage mealtimes and difficult moments.

It can, in some cases. When eating disorders are identified early, evidence-based outpatient treatment such as FBT and CBT-E, together with a well-organized care team, can help stabilize people at home. Outpatient care is not right for everyone, and we recommend a higher level of care when medical or psychiatric needs call for it.

Eating disorder treatment often involves several providers, and managing communication between them can fall to families. Under the direction of Dr. Heather Rosen, PPG coordinates care by communicating with your existing providers and, when needed, helping you build a local team of dietitians and medical professionals.

Yes. The period after discharge carries a higher risk of relapse, and returning to everyday routines without support can feel overwhelming. We offer structured outpatient care and collaborate with your discharging facility to support continuity of care.

Yes. Eating disorders often occur alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, or OCD. Because PPG is a multi-specialty practice, we address co-occurring conditions at the clinically appropriate time as part of the treatment plan.

ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) involves limited food intake or variety that is not driven by concerns about weight or shape. It may relate to sensory sensitivity, fear of choking or vomiting, or low interest in eating. Unlike typical picky eating, it can lead to nutritional problems, weight loss or poor growth, or significant interference with daily life.

For many people, yes. Virtual outpatient treatment can provide structured, evidence-based support while making care easier to access and maintain. It may be a good fit for people who need flexibility, want to reduce travel, or are stepping down from a higher level of care. In some cases, in-person care may still be recommended based on clinical needs.

Our clinicians provide therapy and do not prescribe medication. If medication may be helpful, we can coordinate with your primary care doctor or a psychiatric prescriber, with your consent.

You do not need to wait until symptoms become severe. If concerns about eating, exercise, body image, or weight are beginning to affect daily life, school, work, relationships, or physical health, it is a good time to reach out. Research suggests that shorter delays before starting treatment may be linked to better outcomes. If someone is fainting, has chest pain, or is unable to keep food or fluids down, seek medical care right away or call 911.

An evaluation is the best way to find out. We look at eating behaviors, medical stability, mental health, and the support available at home. Outpatient care often works well when a person is medically stable and able to take part in treatment. A higher level of care, such as a partial hospitalization program, residential treatment, or hospitalization, may be recommended when symptoms are severe, medical risk is high, or progress stalls. If that happens, we help coordinate the transition and can continue care when the person steps back down.

Schedule a free consultation. We will talk briefly about what you are looking for and match you with a clinician whose training and style fit your needs. Your clinician then gathers history about eating, health, and daily functioning, and discusses whether medical monitoring or a higher level of care is needed.
