What is RED Clinic?

The RecoverED Clinic provides the gold-standard, family, multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of eating disorders per APA practice guidelines. Clients, loved ones, and families affected by eating disorders gain awareness and lasting freedom from the eating disorder through the specialization of care and collaboration of our trusted, experienced, and knowledgeable clinicians.

After the founders established the comprehensive Psychological services clinic Next STEPS Worldwide in 2017, they established the RED Clinic in 2018 to focus on eating disorder relapse prevention and recovery. Through her work with Next STEPS Worldwide, Dr. Schwalen recognized the unique opportunity to focus on eating disorders in a specialty clinic inside Next STEPS. Dr. Schwalen’s vast experience in both hospital and school settings prior to Next STEPS Worldwide demonstrated the need for personalized outpatient care for eating disorder treatment – including psychological and nutrition services – which focus on the client and their support system. Now, as a specialized clinic under Next STEPS Worldwide, more and more clients and families are being reached with lasting hope for recovery.

RED Clinic’s Mission is to prevent eating disorder relapse and to provide recovery across the full spectrum of eating disorders in order to transform lives.

RED Clinic’s Vision is to revolutionize relapse prevention and recovery of eating disorders by creating experts in the field, dynamic and in-depth protocols of care and education, extensive outreach, and accessible knowledge to clients, their families, and clinicians.
