Rock Recovery

Rock Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports the journey to freedom from disordered eating. We work to bridge gaps in resources for eating disorder treatment and education by removing the barriers of stigma, cost, and accessibility and by providing quality clinical care. In all of our therapy programs, we believe it is critical to care for the whole person – mind, body, and spirit.

Rock offers a wide range of affordable recovery resources, sliding scale therapy groups, and community support services and educational workshops to those who are stepping down from a higher level of eating disorder care or who may need more support than individual therapy alone. Rock’s outpatient group therapy services (offered in-person and virtually) are available to individuals of all genders, 18+ who reside in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

From individual therapy to group meal support, their team of recovery experts and clinicians are here to support you and your loved ones! All programs are offered at a sliding scale rate so that cost is never a barrier to the care you need to heal.
