Our Goal

A Center for Eating Disorders (ACED) aims to be the premiere resource for the state of Alabama regarding the origination, treatment and prevention of eating disorders in both women and men. To achieve this goal, we are equipped with an expert team using research-proven treatment methods in a caring, compassionate environment.

Our Mission

ACED treatment team united in Birmingham, Alabama to create accessible, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, collaborative treatment for those suffering from eating disorders, as well as their families and loved ones. We constantly foster a community that heals at ACED.

Our Philosophy

We believe that all individuals struggling with eating disorders can fully recovery to reclaim their true identity, and live healthy, abundant lives.

Eating disorders are the manifestation of serious underlying emotional issues and a way to cope with psychological stress. We focus on uncovering these issues, addressing them and teaching healthier coping skills. We work to free the human spirit from an eating disorder through healthy relationships, self-empowerment, self-realization and connectivity.

We know that healing from an eating disorder  - anorexia, bulimia and others - is far more than just recovering from the symptoms. True recovery involves rebuilding a broken self and soul. The process of repair offers a rare opportunity away from life’s chaos to realize your truest, highest self. This is a brave and vulnerable endeavor that we honor in a nurturing, empowering and supportive environment.

The only missing piece is you.
