Reconnect with Food

Welcome to the Inner Door Center® Family

Who We Are and What We Do

Inner Door Center® provides comprehensive eating disorder treatment, substance abuse treatment and outpatient therapy for a variety of mental health concerns.

We are a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic (OPC) for mental health and substance abuse counseling. We also participate with most all health insurance and managed care plans. We are licensed by the Michigan Department of Community Health as a partial hospitalization program for mental health and as a licensed substance abuse treatment program.

We are a medical model, evidence-based eating disorder treatment center that uses Mindfulness-Based Yoga Therapy as a tool—Reconnect with Food®, which is a highly innovative and evidence-based method. We adhere to the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Guidelines for Eating Disorder Treatment adopted by the eating disorder community across the country.

We are accredited by the Joint Commission, which is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards of safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.

What Sets Us Apart

In addition to our Mindfulness Yoga-Based Treatment System that we have researched and developed, Inner Door Center® provides a warm, inviting, and nurturing, non-hospital environment. Because we are a free-standing program and independently owned, the owner is more so invested in patient care and not beholden to a corporate bureaucracy. Therefore, decisions can be made quickly, and all decisions are in the best interest of our patients.

Inner Door Center® is available to patients from beginning to end of their treatment cycle, providing partial hospitalization (day) treatment, intensive outpatient and outpatient psychotherapy for eating disorders. This is in contrast to most eating disorder treatment programs, allowing for a progressive step down in therapy intervention.

At Inner Door Center®, we believe in providing patients with the most intensive level of care possible offered at our facility as in our experience, outpatient care alone is not enough for most individuals who struggle with eating disorders. Our staff is committed to fighting for the care you need.

Our Partners

Our partners include residential treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, the medical community, universities and their respective health resource centers, college athletic departments and student associations, local area high/grade schools and corporate entities. We also partner with area attorneys, probation officers and district courts for outpatient substance abuse treatment. In addition, we are members of the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce.

The most important partners are our clients as we partner with you in your continuum of care. Inner Door Center® has a wealth of success stories from clients who have benefited from our treatment programs and services.

Supportive and Qualified Staff

Our practitioners are real, authentic, and empathetic – many practitioners have struggled with eating disorders and addictions, therefore clients feel that they are listened to and are heard. Our staff, as connected to our center, is what makes your treatment at our facility so successful. Our staff is highly accomplished, nationally recognized and dedicated individuals, that are committed to ongoing training and development. Most importantly, our staff is known for building relationships with clients and making connections....which is key to eliciting change and growth.

Our clinic treatment team is made up of a Board Certified Psychiatrist, Internist and Nurse Practitioner, Fully Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselors, Registered Nurse, Medical Assistant, Occupational Therapist and Registered Dietitian along with Yoga and Creative Arts Therapists.
