What patients say about Equip
Dawn O
Being in treatment with Equip for binge eating disorder checked so many boxes for me: I had a great team of compassionate people to support my journey, the virtual nature of the program made it very easy for me to coordinate it with my busy schedule, the Equip app had many resources that helped support my treatment and after insurance paid, my copay was extremely affordable. I’m grateful for my experience at Equip and would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with an eating disorder.
Kari G
Equip was JUST what we needed when finding ourselves facing an eating disorder. Having all of our providers in one place & virtual appointments made it possible for work & school to continue. I am a firm believer in the FBT model but it only works with immense support. Equip provided that for us & my daughter is now healthy & thriving in recovery. I can recommend Equip enough. They not only saved my daughter, they saved our family!
Sarah
I was a patient with Equip after stepping down from a higher level of care. They are a PHENOMENAL program. I can’t say enough good things about them. They are exactly the type of treatment I wish existed when I was younger: intensive multidisciplinary treatment, from home (not in a treatment bubble), with great patient and family support. Having the whole treatment team in one place made communication of treatment goals and progress so seamless compared to the normal outpatient provider communication. The providers I had were all fantastic. They even have a multitude of groups daily for both patients and support persons with a wide range of topics and formats. I cannot believe a program this incredible takes insurance and has no wait list. I highly recommend Equip to persons of any age who are struggling with disordered eating or an eating disorder. My only wish was that I could stay in the program longer!! I will forever be grateful this program is out there!
Steve F
My 1-year experience was different than I expected and far exceeded my expectations. The team approach was unique and helped me learn and work through challenges with lots of different perspectives and styles of support. I learned so much about food, diet culture, body image, Healthy at Every Size that it has transformed my relationship with food. What I really didn't expect is how much I also learned about myself. Why I binged, how I created a restrictive mindset, how perfectionism vs. flexibility was sabotaging me, and how mindfulness across my life is now a gamechanger for me as a person. I'm so grateful for Equip, my fabulous team, and all the support. Now, I am EQUIPped to succeed! Thank you.
Jean B
Equip helped me to realize I deserve to be happy and how to find it by taking care of myself. Insurance covered my therapy. I had a therapist and dietitian who were the best cheer squad. I had had past therapists and dietitians who made me feel less than, my Equip team helped me see me for the great person I am and that I deserved to be nourished and healthy , and that eating food was not a bad thing, it actually is what we all should do.
Dave
The Equip team is made up of knowledgeable and caring people, who empower parents/caregivers to help their loved ones recover from an eating disorder. After a year of virtual support from our assigned Equip team, my wife and I felt confident in our ability to help our daughter get healthy again. I was skeptical of virtual treatment programs previously, but Equip has changed my opinion. It removed any barriers to care due to geography or work/school schedule challenges. I can't thank the folks at Equip enough for helping us navigate the most difficult time of our lives!

My time with equip was more than beneficial. I feel healed and happy and grateful. I would highly recommend them to someone considering care.

I’ve tried other programs before, but this was the first one that truly worked for me because it was tailored specifically to my medical condition. Equip helped me recover from something I’ve struggled with my entire life. For me, it took a few months to feel genuinely recovered, but I understand that everyone’s situation is different, and the program meets people where they are. The care felt developmentally appropriate and supportive, helping me grow into the skills and stability I needed. I felt safe opening up, and I appreciated the many avenues for recovery — including both individual and group support, and attention to both psychological and physiological aspects of healing. Overall, the approach felt comprehensive, thoughtful, and effective.
Erica C
We are so grateful to Equip for helping our son with his ARFID. We were originally pessimistic that the remote structure would work for our situation and the severity of his condition but little by little we started to see the progress. They really cover all the bases - from clinical appointments with our son to check his physical health, to nutritionist appointments to get an idea of his day-to-day diet and recommendations based on where he was in the program, to mental health support for both him and for us (his parents) while we worked with him. It's a time commitment for sure but a year later we're so glad we invested in this. Our son is no longer the "picky" kid at home or at school. He's really flourishing and so much healthier than he was when we started.
Kacie F
A life changing experience- as a NCAA D1 athlete recovering from OSFED & REDS with an extensive trauma history, Equip provided the knowledge, resources, and supports I needed to take back my life and redefine my relationship with food, exercise, and my body. The accessibility and flexibility of the virtual platform aided my commitment to treatment.

Equip has truly been the biggest blessing to our family. When our daughter was suffering with her eating disorder we didnt know what to do to make her better. Equip gave us all the tools, resources and support to lead us to recovery with our daughter. Thank you Equip. Everyone on the staff is truly caring and compassionate.
Kendra
This program is a must have for any family dealing with an eating disorder. The staff goes above and beyond to train families on how to win the battle, using love, compassion and research based strategies. Your 5 person team is readily available and there are numerous group classes offered. I tell every doctor, school counselor, and struggling family about this program.
Sarah
This program has made the difference for both my daughter and my family. After several years of doing FBT at home this is the support we needed to finally start to feel like we can beat this disease and that recovery is a possiblity. Our team is excellent, responsive and really listens to provide needed advice every week.
Elena
It supported my son and me thru his journey of his ARFID recovery. We know its the beginning but it has helped us gain tools and learn strategies to help us figure out which way to help him get better.
Sharadee
My daughter has had multiple food issues since birth, and they began to really take over her life once she hit puberty. After over 15 years of having our concerns dismissed by doctors, psychologists, and other medical professionals ("she'll grow out of it"), we finally found a team willing to listen to our concerns and observations and take a closer look at her situation. After looking at growth charts, reviewing her eating habits from her shaky beginning throughout her life, and carefully asking the right questions, she was diagnosed with ARFID, and a holistic plan of treatment was proposed for not only our daughter but for the whole family. We feel so heard and hopeful that our daughter can overcome these challenges - and our family can better support her - with the help of our EQUIP team.
Cindy
As a parent I found the interactions with the dietician, physician, and groups beneficial. They were informative and gave me additional tools needed to support my daughter. The sessions with the therapist were also good, although my daughter only participated in a few because we also have in-person local support (physician, psychologist whom she was already seeing for OCD & anxiety, and a nutritionist). We felt as thoughh my daughter was an outlier with the speed at which she recovered and that the program moved too slowly for her. We also felt that it wasn't tailored to her specific needs. She was receiving communications that were not related to her behaviors.
Brett M
My experience at Equip Health was life-changing. Before admission, I had struggled with an eating disorder for nearly three years. Recovery seemed impossible, until my first session at Equip. I contacted many treatment centers, but the accessibility of virtual care made Equip an easy decision. I was amazed by the idea of being "equipped" with a multidisciplinary team. My therapist, dietician, peer mentor, and nurse practitioner welcomed and valued me not as a patient, but as a member of a team. My journey at Equip was a learning experience for many reasons. I described recovery as a "self-reflective process" to both my therapist and dietician. I learnt about my values, worldviews, personal, and cultural beliefs, and how these factors related to the etiology of my disordered eating. Above all, I was impressed with the knowledge and awareness that each member held. I would recommend anyone to Equip. The center houses passionate, intelligent, humorous, and down-to-Earth people. As someone who is studying to be a counselor, I hope to one day be employed as a therapist at Equip. Thank you, Equip. You positively changed my life.

Do this for yourself! You have no idea how happy you'll be on the other side. My care team helped me take a step back and understand the anxiety I had built up around food and how I had cultivated my poor eating patterns. They reminded me time and again to trust the process and they were right. I use the tools I learned from this program whenever I get stuck. Once you see Equip working, you can't unsee it.
Mia C
I love equip!!!! It has an amazing therapist who is funny, kind and outgoing. Tiffany helps me with everything and I can always count on her. A dietician who is super kind hearted and guides us. A peer mentor who can connect with me and a good place to talk. An OCD specialist who is so amazing.
Colton
Equip was an incredibly helpful program. I was in a place where I was scared and confused. I didn't know what was happening to me. Equip helped me work through my eating disorder issues in a way that was flexible and unique to the individual. I felt validated and respected. Everyone was so friendly, and I genuinely felt like everyone cared about my success. I was able to build skills to navigate through an incredibly scary time in my life. If you need a virtual and flexible treatment option, I highly recommend Equip. If I find myself needing more intensive care in the future, Equip will be the first program I seek out.
