At Seeds of Hope, we recognize the challenges veterans face—both during service and after. Experiences unique to military culture can have lasting impacts on mental and physical health, including a higher risk of developing eating disorders. That’s why we offer specialized treatment for veterans struggling with disordered eating, combining trauma-informed care, expert clinical support and a deep respect for each veteran’s journey.
Personalized, Evidence-Based Care
We know every veteran’s experience is different. Our multidisciplinary team—composed of therapists, dietitians, and medical professionals—begins with a thorough assessment to understand each client’s history, triggers and specific needs. From there, we craft an individualized treatment plan that may include medical monitoring, nutrition counseling, and a combination of individual, group and family therapy. Our approach addresses both the physical aspects of eating disorders and the underlying psychological factors, such as trauma, anxiety, depression and PTSD, which are more common in the veteran community.
Trauma-Informed & Veteran-Sensitive Approach
Seeds of Hope is committed to trauma-informed care. Our therapists are trained to recognize and respect the invisible wounds of military service. We create a safe, non-judgmental space where veterans can share their stories, process difficult experiences and begin healing. We also incorporate evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to address both eating behaviors and co-occurring issues like substance use or mood disorders.
A Community of Support
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. Veterans at Seeds of Hope benefit from the camaraderie and understanding of a supportive peer group, many of whom share similar backgrounds and struggles. We work closely with families and other support networks, recognizing the important role they play in long-term recovery.
At Seeds of Hope, we honor veterans’ service by providing comprehensive, compassionate care for eating disorders—helping each client reclaim their health, dignity, and hope for the future.
