Coming: Fall 2026
Psychiatric Care
We will begin accepting appointment requests and scheduling for psychiatric care on October 1, 2026.
Appointments will be available starting 10/19/2026.
Our Approach
Medication can be an important part of treatment for some clients — used alongside, never instead of, therapy and nutrition care. Our psychiatric provider will work as part of your existing Edison care team, coordinating closely with your therapist and dietitian so medication management supports your full recovery plan rather than operating on its own.
Medication support that supports the big picture.
Psychiatric care at Edison won't be a stand-alone prescription service — it's one more piece of a coordinated team already working on your behalf. Your psychiatric provider will communicate directly with your therapist and dietitian, so decisions about medication are made with your full recovery in view.
What to Expect from Psychiatric Care

Getting started.
Once available, psychiatric care will begin with an evaluation to understand whether medication may support your treatment goals, in coordination with your existing care team. -

Your care team.
Your psychiatric provider will work directly with your therapist, dietitian, and medical provider so medication decisions stay connected to your full treatment plan. -

What sessions look like.
Expect an initial evaluation followed by regular follow-up appointments to monitor how medication is working alongside your therapy and nutrition care.

Coordinated directly with your therapist and dietitian

Another Layer of Support, When You Need It.
Who This Is ForFor some clients, medication can ease the anxiety, depression, or other symptoms that make recovery harder to access — always alongside therapy and nutrition care, never in place of it. If you're curious whether psychiatric care could be part of your treatment plan, we'd love to talk with you.
We believe medication support should always work in coordination with your full care team, not as a stand-alone fix.
✓ Providers trained in eating disorder-informed prescribing
