Our Approach
Taking the first step toward recovery is a courageous decision, and we are here to support you every step of the way. At HealMarin, we specialize in compassionate, integrated care for individuals navigating eating disorders. We believe that true healing happens when we address the needs of both the mind and the body in a safe, collaborative environment.
To help you feel confident as you begin, we’ve outlined our process for becoming a client—from your first connection with us to building a personalized care plan tailored to your unique journey.
1. Complimentary Consult
Schedule a 15-minute discovery call with Arin. This is a space for you to ask questions about our approach and for us to ensure our services align with your needs.
2. Initial Session
If we’re a good match, we’ll schedule an in-depth intake with a nutrition or therapy provider (or both). This session is designed for us to hear your story, understand your history, and ensure you feel comfortable with our style.
3. Engage in Therapy and Nutrition
We recommend beginning with a “Dose of 4″—four weekly sessions of therapy combined with four weekly sessions of nutrition. This initial rhythm allows you to build rapport with your providers and creates a strong foundation for your healing journey. We value your unique needs and offer the flexibility to adjust this schedule, working with you to co-create the care plan that fits you best.
Therapy is a highly individual process, the length of treatment varies based on your personal goals, motivation, and unique needs.
