Founded in 1993 by Dr. Dirk Miller, PhD, LP, who started his first eating disorder treatment program in St. Paul, MN, has now eight outpatient/inpatient programs throughout Minnesota. This new program, offering outpatient services, is based in Seattle, WA and is named after Dr. Miller's sister Emily, whose inspiration and recovery herself from an eating disorder, has led this program and its staff to strive for personalized care for all individuals that struggle with an eating disorder. The Emily Program is for men or women and adolescents who are struggling with eating disorders, which may include binge eating, over eating, anorexia and bulimia.
The Emily Program staff include: Jenny Hermanson, M.S., L.M.F.T., therapist, Jodi P. Pierce, M.A., L.M.H.C., therapist and Joanna Retztagg, PsyD, also a therapist. Through personalized treatment, clients receive psychological, nutritional and medical treatments as deemed necessary, in addition to participation in individual therapy, group therapies, family therapy, nutritional evaluation and counseling and eating disorder education. Holistic services, such as art and music therapy, yoga and massage and acupuncture are also used to support and enhance a client's recovery.
This Seattle program offers a structured day program which allows the client to participate in everyday activities, work or school and presents the option of day or evening treatment.
