Frequently Asked Questions

If you or a loved one are struggling with an eating disorder, body image issues or disordered eating and are seeking outpatient therapy and support, we would love to help you get connected to care! Our therapy services provide care to adolescents (ages 12+) and adults of all genders, and our nationwide support groups serve adolescents and adults of all genders ( ages 14+).

Our individual and group therapy services currently serve residents of DC and across the states of MD and VA. Therapy groups vary on service location based on the licensure of the therapist leading the group.

Our virtual peer support groups are available to individuals nationwide (ages 14+) and around the world (as long as you can make the time change work!).

If you are medically stable and are seeking additional outpatient support to help you progress in your recovery, our therapy programs may be a good fit for you. You can schedule a free 20-minute call with a member of our therapy team who will help determine if our programs are a fit for you.

To learn more about our programs, view our therapy page here and our faith-based support group page hereto see our group requirements.

At Rock Recovery we believe that #AllBodiesRock, so all of our services are weight-inclusive, traume-informed, and operate from a Health At Every Size(R) philosophy. Rock Recovery helps people heal from a lifetime of disordered eating, body dissatisfaction, weight stigma, food fears, emotion dysregulation, and more. Weight loss does not help people heal from these issues. The problem isn't, and never has been, your weight or your body. We are committed to walking alongside you as you navigate any changes your body experiences throughout recovery. To learn more about how we can support you, schedule a free consultation with our clinical team here.

We’re so glad you are taking the courageous step to get help.

You can get connected to care in three easy steps:

1. Schedule a free consultation. In this 20-minute consultation, our trained counselors will help you determine if Rock Recovery’s therapy services are the best fit for your needs (or refer you to another provider who is*). You canjoin our nationwide support groupsat any time – no interest call necessary.

2. Complete an intake appointment. Once you’ve completed a program interest call, the next step to get connected to a group will be to schedule an intake session with the program therapist. Our team will help you schedule a 45-minute intake appointment to learn more about your treatment goals. Please see below for more information on the intake appointment.

3. Get the care you need. Join our groups and find out how freedom is possible.

*If our programs are not a good fit for you, we will refer you to another provider so that you can get the care that you need. If you wish to receive resources in addition to the referrals we provide, you can schedule a 45-minute referral session with a member of the clinical team. Cost for the referral session is $75. You can schedule a referral session with our team by emailing us at freedom@rockrecoveryed.org.

Yes! We were founded on the belief that cost should never be the reason a client can’t access the care they need. That’s why we are in-network with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (covering Maryland, DC, and Northern VA) and Optum/UnitedHealthcare. Additionally, we offer generous sliding scale discounts for anyone needing financial assistance. Click here to learn more about fees for therapy services and the insurances we accept.

If you are in need of financial support for services, we are here to help. After your initial consultation with our team, clients who are interested in sliding scale rates for our therapy programs (and not in-network with CareFirst BCBS or Optum/UHC) will fill out an application with information about their income, household size, current debt (medical, student loans, etc), and expected monthly expenses. From there, a member of the therapy team will review the information and work with the client to come up with an appropriate sliding scale rate.
