BETHESDA, MD

The Renfrew Center of Bethesda provides compassionate, evidence-based outpatient treatment for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, ARFID, and the full spectrum of eating disorders. Located in downtown Bethesda, just two blocks from Bethesda Metro Station, red line, our center is ideal for patients commuting from Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia. The calming, light-filled space features a spacious, open floor plan designed to feel welcoming and non-clinical, with art therapy integrated into programming to offer a creative and expressive outlet for healing. 

We offer a full range of programming tailored to each patient’s needs, including: 

• Day Treatment (PHP) – Intensive, structured eating disorder outpatient programming five days a week, with patients returning to their home in the evenings. 
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – Flexible care three times a week, ideal for step-down support or more support than outpatient treatment. 
• Outpatient Services – Outpatient therapy (short-term), outpatient therapy groups, support groups. 

Our multidisciplinary team includes therapists, dietitians, and medical professionals who deliver care through The Renfrew Center’s Unified Treatment Model for Eating Disorders®, an evidence-based, transdiagnostic approach grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and relational-cultural principles. This model is part of the Oxford University Press Treatments That Work series. We also provide expressive therapies, nutrition therapy and actively involve families and loved ones in the healing process. 

For patients needing a higher level of care, residential treatment is available at The Renfrew Center of Philadelphia – Spring Lane, just two and a half hours away, and The Renfrew Center of Florida. Outpatient services are also available at The Renfrew Center of Baltimore.
