At Guest House, we understand the deep and complex challenges that come with binge-eating disorder. Our PEACE program helps clients approach meals with healthy mindfulness while learning to Process Emotions and Compulsive Eating. “It’s about being at peace with food.”

We are committed to an atmosphere that welcomes the ordained and consecrated of the Catholic Church with warmth and kindness.
Binge-eating disorder is more than just occasional overeating—it’s a behavioral addiction characterized by episodes of consuming large amounts of food in a short time, eating rapidly, and a feeling of loss of control over the behavior.
Dieting often results in weight loss and gain cycles when attempting to manage the disorder.
The condition results in concern because:
Every individual who comes to Guest House participates in a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, the results of which determine a personalized plan of care.
At Guest House, we take a holistic approach to treating binge-eating disorder, addressing the various underlying factors that contribute to disordered eating patterns. Our experienced team of professionals utilizes evidence-based therapies (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Movement Therapy) and teaches skills and strategies needed to develop a healthier relationship with food, cultivate a positive body image, and embrace a healthier lifestyle.
We combine individual therapy, group counseling, and nutritional guidance to approach meals with healthy mindfulness while learning to process emotions and address compulsive eating. We integrate 12 Step spirituality into our programming and advocate participation in 12 Step program meetings. Twelve Step programs provide the structure for re-establishing healthy and vital relationships with God, self, and others.
By the end of primary treatment, the client will have developed a comprehensive continuing care plan that prepares them to complete all phases of the two-year Continuing Care Program with the support of ongoing case management.
We know that knowledge is power in the journey to recovery. For this reason, we provide comprehensive education about conditions as well as coping strategies and tools to address and manage the symptoms. Our hope is that internalizing new information and thinking will result in a fuller life lived with new confidence and resilience.
