Why At-Home Treatment Can Be a Better Clinical Fit
Many individuals and families in New Jersey are forced to choose between limited local options or in-patient programs. Hilltop Behavioral Health removes that tradeoff. Through our virtual care program, you receive the same specialized, evidence-based eating disorder treatment- delivered by CEDS-certified clinicians and advanced specialists—regardless of where you live.
Benefits of real-world virtual treatment:
- Access to True Eating Disorder Specialists: Work with clinicians whose training and experience are dedicated to eating disorders—not providers treating them as a secondary focus.
- Specialized Models, Not General Therapy: Virtual treatment follows structured, evidence-based protocols (FBT, CBT-E, DBT, CPT, IFS), not generic talk therapy.
- Supports School, Structure, and Daily Life: At-home treatment allows children and teens to stay in school, maintain routines, and recover with the support of their family environment - minimizing disruption.
When a higher level of care is clinically indicated, Hilltop helps families understand those needs and navigate appropriate next steps. When it’s not, our virtual model allows clients to receive specialized treatment without unnecessary escalation.

Eating Disorders
- Anorexia: Anorexia nervosa is marked by restrictive eating, intense fear of gaining weight, and body image struggles. Treatment helps restore health while building self-acceptance and resilience.
- Bulimia: Bulimia involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging or over-exercising. We work to break this cycle and create healthier ways of coping with stress and emotions.
- Binge Eating: Binge eating disorder is characterized by repeated episodes of overeating paired with feelings of guilt or loss of control. Care focuses on developing balance, self-compassion, and positive eating habits.
- Selective Eating / ARFID: Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) often stems from sensory sensitivities, fears, or lack of interest in food. Treatment expands food variety while easing the anxiety tied to eating.
Mental Health
- Anxiety: Anxiety goes beyond everyday stress, often causing overwhelming worry and physical symptoms. We help individuals manage anxiety through proven therapeutic tools and strategies for calm.
- Depression: Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Our care focuses on restoring motivation, improving mood, and helping individuals reconnect with joy in life.
- PTSD: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can lead to flashbacks, avoidance, and emotional distress. With evidence-based therapies, we guide individuals toward healing and reclaiming a sense of safety.
Types of Therapy We Offer
Individual Therapy
We treat the whole person, not just a disorder. We create a personalized, one-on-one process that fosters reflection, healing, and growth. Out therapists create safe collaborative space to address challenges such as anxiety, eating disorders, depression, OCD, and relationship struggles while building coping skills and resilience.
Group Therapy
A supportive and encouraging setting where individuals connect with peers, share experiences, and learn together. Group therapy reduces isolation, fosters validation, and strengthens recovery.
Nutrition Therapy
Guided by our expert dietitian, Maggie Legavor RD, nutrition therapy helps individuals heal their relationship with food and body. Through evidence-based care, clients learn to challenge diet myths, embrace balance, and develop a compassionate, intuitive approach to eating.

Yes, many of our therapists offer virtual sessions, allowing clients to receive care from the comfort of their home, while still maintaining the same high-quality treatment as in-person sessions.
How long does treatment usually last?
The duration of treatment varies based on the individual’s needs, disorder severity, and treatment goals. Some clients benefit from short-term interventions, while others engage in longer-term therapy to achieve lasting recovery.
How do I know if my child needs treatment?
If your child exhibits restrictive eating, unusual preoccupations with food or weight, mood changes, anxiety, or social withdrawal, it may be time to seek an evaluation. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes.
Can I involve my family in the treatment process?
Yes. Family involvement when appropriate is often a key part of recovery. For adults we allow you to guide family involvement as needed. When caring for adolescents our team includes Family-Based Therapy (FBT) specialists to help families support their loved ones in a structured, effective way.
