Thank you for your interest in our network’s treatment programs for those struggling with eating and body image issues. We house a multidisciplinary team that has been offering personally-tailored, outpatient treatment of eating and body image disturbance in Kansas City since 1993.

Specialists will work with you to determine if treatment is needed and help develop your individual treatment plan. Services offered at InSight include:

  • Nutritional Counseling

    by specialized, Registered Dietitians providing individualized treatment to those with eating issues. Using many visual, auditory and experiential tools, they help individuals learn how to eat and trust their bodies, replacing harmful practices and thoughts with balanced eating and exercise. A new relationship with food is established along with improved health and quality of life.

  • Family Therapy

Also, to help family members recognize and change patterns in their ways of interacting, which keep them from developing the family relationships they desire.

8-week Workshop: What to Do When Diets Don’t Work

This 8-week mindful eating program is facilitated by Beth Harrell, MS, RD, LD, a registered dietitian with over 15 years' experience helping those who struggle with weight and eating issues.

The workshop is based on the work of Michelle May, M.D., a recovered yo-yo dieter and award-winning author of the book “Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat.” She developed Am I Hungry?® as a positive solution to chronic, ineffective dieting. The workshop combines the benefits of this innovative non-diet approach with the interaction, motivation and support of a group. You'll learn to be in charge of your eating instead of feeling out of control, how to eat the foods you love without overeating or guilt, how to increase your metabolism, and how to eat healthier without depriving yourself.
