The Lotus Collaborative is a holistic health and recovery center specializing in eating, weight, exercise, and nutrition concerns including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia, and compulsive exercising. They provide partial hospitalization services, intensive outpatient services, eating disorder support groups, family therapy, nutritional counseling and transitional living. We serve teens (14+) and adults — female, male and transgender individuals from Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Jose and San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.
TLC provides treatment that is balanced between evidence-based skills approaches, and deep, interpersonal, psychospiritual process work. Our program offers the opportunity for connection with oneself, others and a recovery community.
The Lotus Collaborative believes it’s important that we understand the unique individual you are: who you are, where you've been, what you’re struggling with, what your strengths are, and where you’d like to go from here. They believe in meeting people where they are at and that you don’t have to want to recover from an eating disorder in order to get help or seek treatment.
At TLC they are aware that sexual orientation and gender identity are often key issues in the recovery process. They have culturally sensitive certified therapists on site to provide individual therapy, as well as local connections to engage clients with community resources.
