Day Treatment Program

"I love our staff's united efforts toward the healing process, and our passion to offer something different for the lives of our patients. It is so wonderful to see patients blossom into whole persons."
Lisa Petersen, Ph.D.
Program Director

Summit's goal for the Day Treatment Program is to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where participants can continue to work toward emotional and physical well being.

The Day Treatment Program is designed to provide comprehensive and compassionate treatment by staff who have specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders and genuinely care about recovery. Because of the intensity of services offered by Summit, our Day Treatment Program is an alternative to residential treatment for many patients. We offer free housing for clients who live out of the area in order to further enhance their recovery process.

Individual Psychotherapy
Family Psychotherapy
