Our Mission and Philosophy
Providing Evidence‑Based Eating Disorder Therapy in Ohio
Empowering change through evidence-based inclusive care
At Eating & Behavioral Health Associates (EBHA), our mission is to provide evidence-based treatment for eating disorders across Ohio and Psypact states. Whether through our in-person locations in Columbus and Cincinnati, or via telehealth eating disorder therapy, we deliver care that is compassionate, inclusive, and scientifically grounded.
At Eating and Behavioral Health Associates, we are committed to providing treatments grounded in science while honoring the unique identities, experiences, and needs of each client. We strive to create a supportive, inclusive environment where healing can happen—and where our work also uplifts the broader community.
Our mission is to help individuals reconnect with what truly matters in their lives and relationships, and to support them in building lives that feel balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.
We envision a future without mental health stigma—especially the stigma surrounding eating disorders and weight bias. We believe in fostering greater awareness, acceptance, and appreciation for all bodies and all mental health journeys.
We are dedicated to ongoing learning and professional growth so we can provide the most effective, evidence-based care. And we proudly invest in the next generation of mental health professionals through supervision, mentorship, and training.
We believe in providing treatments backed by science, while understanding the unique needs and differences of each client. Here at Eating and Behavioral Health Associates, we believe in creating the best atmosphere for our clients and giving back to our community. Our mission is to help members of our communities reconnect with the things that are truly important and thrive, both in their own lives and in their relationships. Our vision is to eliminate mental health stigma, specifically the stigma surrounding eating disorders and weight bias, by creating awareness of and acceptance of mental health struggles and appreciation of all bodies. We highly value continued education and training in order to provide the most effective, up-to-date treatments, and we aim to train the next generation of mental health providers.
We are committed to more than symptom reduction
Healing from an eating disorder involves more than food and weight. It’s about reclaiming your values, reducing emotional suffering, and reconnecting to a meaningful life. That’s why we address co-occurring conditions like trauma, anxiety, depression, and chronic illness—so our clients can heal as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. We see our clients as resilient humans—each with a unique story—and we meet them with empathy, curiosity, and clinical excellence.
