“You are not your eating disorder.”
Our goal is to address the full picture—not just one part of your experience.
At ‘Ai Pono, we specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and the complex, often interconnected challenges that come with them. We understand that eating disorders are not just about food—they are deeply tied to emotional, psychological, and physical health.
Our approach is compassionate, comprehensive, and individualized, supporting each person’s unique path toward healing and recovery.
Eating Disorders
We provide expert care for a full spectrum of eating disorders, including:
- Anorexia Nervosa
- Bulimia Nervosa
- Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
- Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
- Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED)
Whether symptoms are recent or long-standing, we meet you with understanding, respect, and evidence-based care.
Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Eating disorders often exist alongside other mental health concerns. We offer integrated support for:
- Anxiety and chronic stress
- Depression and mood disorders
- Trauma and PTSD
- Obsessive-compulsive patterns
- Perfectionism and self-esteem challenges
Specialized Treatment for Co-occurring Issues
Substance Use Concerns
For those also struggling with substance use alongside eating disorders, we provide coordinated care that supports sustainable recovery across all areas of life. We have therapeutic staff trained specifically in the treatment of eating disorders and substance use disorders and provide access to 12-step or other supportive care for the duration of treatment. While we do not provide detox services at ‘Ai Pono, we regularly coordinate with substance use treatment facilities to provide clients needing requiring detox or stabilization with a smooth and supportive transition into eating disorder care at the right time.
Physical Health & Medical Complications
Our team monitors and supports medical stability, nutritional rehabilitation, and the physical aspects of healing as part of a whole-person approach. For clients who require the support of a hospital setting prior to residential treatment, we work directly with hospital and inpatient teams to ensure that a client’s journey to us is safe and seamless.
Life Transitions & Identity
We also support individuals navigating life changes, identity development, and the relational impacts of an eating disorder—helping you rebuild connection with yourself and others.
