A counseling practice treating eating disorders and other addictions.
For 10 years, The Hull Institute mission has been to help people overcome unhealthy behaviors and achieve happier, more balanced lives. We have two areas of expertise: unhealthy eating and unhealthy drug and alcohol use. The people who come to us are struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, obesity, drugs, alcohol, or any other addictive behavior.
We believe that the mental health and chemical dependency issues we treat are biological and genetic, brought out by environmental factors.
Our years of experience have shown us that a hands-on approach is necessary for most of our clients. Life threatening illnesses such as these do not allow for taking things slowly. When moving too slowly, the problem wins. Therefore, we approach things quickly, firmly, and gently. We do not negotiate with eating disorders and substance abuse; rather, we intervene with people to teach them to combat their problem instead of colluding with it or denying its existence.
While recovery often takes a long time, we offer immediate hope and a treatment plan that gets you started quickly. We treat the immediate issues first. In the beginning, we are less concerned with how the problem got started and more concerned with quick treatment. As you move toward stopping harmful behaviors, we address the distorted thinking and underlying issues that impact recovery. Yes, full recovery is possible.
Because we understand the severity of eating disorders and addictions, we strive to offer immediate appointments and individualized care in a small, nurturing environment. It is your recovery, so you must be part of the treatment plan. We include family when necessary and possible. In addition, our treatment plans extend beyond our practice to include collaboration with primary care doctors, psychiatrists, and other health care providers.
We have offices in Beachwood, Fairlawn, Rocky River and Strongsville. We can fit you in for an evaluation within 72 hours.
To get lives back where they should be
We offer individual, group and family therapy for eating disorders and other addictions. We have highly trained dietitians to help our therapists help you develop and follow a helathy and reasonable meal plan.
