What is the philosophy of Serenity?
Eating disorders are complex illnesses that consume women and leave them feeling powerless and drained of hope. Treatment at Serenity allows women to explore the complexities of their illness while experiencing a tranquil, safe, and open environment. Women with eating disorders are particularly susceptible to everyday pressure, emotional conflict, and complicated relationships. Therefore, receiving treatment in an atmosphere that minimizes outside stress and eliminates constant scrutiny is essential.
At Serenity, we believe that a woman must accept her eating disorder and her current place in life before she can move ahead with recovery. Professionals at Serenity work with each woman to identify the underlying function of her eating disorder and the strengths that are being thwarted because of it. We explore specific personality features and external factors that perpetuate the disease and seek to revolutionize a woman’s heightened sensitivity from a weakness to strength.
At Serenity, our interdisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, therapists, registered nurses, nutritionists, and fitness experts. They each work closely with our clients to target the root of the eating disorder and begin the identity rebuilding process that results in a greater quality of life. We believe that Serenity goes beyond skill building and rather creates an environment in which life building is possible.
