Welcome to recovery and healing. Tapestry is a licensed Residential and Partial Hospitalization Program providing comprehensive eating disorder treatment for women who are ready for change. Our home is nestled within the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, and we're convenient to many major metropolitan areas. We consider the many dramatic waterfalls, wide vistas, and pristine forests nearby to be an important aspect of your recovery program.

We developed Tapestry to provide an affordable alternative to the high cost of extended treatment for eating disorders; we have strong working relationships with a wide range of insurance plans in order to make your stay cost effective for you (see our tuition page for more information). Most people mistakenly believe that their health insurance will not cover residential mental health care. Our insurance experts will thoroughly research and explain your benefits.

We utilize a community-based recovery model that limits cost while providing a rich interweaving of resources. Eating Disorder Treatment modalities include: Insight-oriented and cognitive-behavioral therapies, Equine Therapy, Nutritional Counseling, expressive arts groups including movement and art therapy, real-world grocery shopping and restaurant practice, healthy food preparation with a Nutritionist, DBT Skills groups, yoga, massage, Trager, and EMDR.

Tapestry's philosophy is centered around putting recovery into the control of the client while providing support, skills training, and education by staff. We do not lock the doors to the kitchen or follow our clients to the restroom. We work with our clients to gain their trust so they are able to safely inform staff when urges to binge/purge/restrict arise. This assists in allowing the client and staff to identify triggers while in treatment, rather than be shielded from them, and relapse when faced with those triggers after discharge.
