How We Work

At Authenticity Recovery, we believe healing happens in relationship, not isolation.

Our group therapy and workshops are designed to help you move beyond surface-level coping and into deeper, more authentic connection with yourself and others. In a clinician-guided space, you’ll have the opportunity to share your experience, be witnessed without judgment, and connect with others who truly understand the complexity of what you’re navigating.

Group work can gently challenge patterns of disconnection, perfectionism, and shame; while creating space for honesty, vulnerability, and growth.

If you’ve been feeling alone in your struggle, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, group therapy offers a place to be real, be supported, and begin to relate differently to yourself and to others.

Intensive Outpatient Program

The Eating Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed to provide comprehensive, structured treatment for individuals struggling with eating disorders.  The program is intended to help participants move toward recovery while maintaining daily life responsibilities such as work, school, and family involvement.

Program components may include:

  • Individual therapy to address personal challenges, trauma, and recovery goals

  • Group therapy to develop coping skills, connection, and peer support

  • Nutrition counseling with a nutrition professional to restore balanced eating and support medical stabilization

  • Supportive meals with staff guidance to practice nourishment and reduce anxiety around food

  • Yoga and mindfulness practices to strengthen the mind-body connection and support regulation

  • Family or support sessions as clinically indicated to enhance the recovery environment

The IOP meets 3 days per week, for 3 hours per day. Each participant receives an individualized treatment plan tailored to their specific goals and recovery stage and will participate in individual therapy 1 hour per week.

Support for Supports (education and support group for family and friends)

Support for Supports is a VIRTUAL 90-minute education and support group for the friends and family of individuals navigating eating disorder recovery. Facilitated by Authenticity Recovery’s Clinical Director, Justyne Ortquist, LPC, this group blends practical education with meaningful connection. Together, we explore the realities of eating disorders, deepen understanding of the recovery process, and build tools to support your loved one in ways that are both effective and sustainable. Through a blend of education and discussion, you’ll gain practical strategies to support your loved one with greater confidence and clarity. We also create space to explore your own experience; because supporting someone else can be challenging, emotional, and at times overwhelming. Come to learn, connect with others who understand, ask questions, feel heard, and to be reminded that you are not in this alone.

Meets every other Thursday 5:30pm-7pm

VIRTUAL Option only

COST: $35 per household
