About this facility
Set in the North Bay area, Willa Wellness Center in Petaluma provides care for women and teen girls aged 15 and older who are experiencing eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED). The center offers day (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment.
Both treatment tracks follow a non-diet, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approach. In other words, the team helps clients heal from harmful patterns and beliefs about food, rather than focusing on food intake.
Willa Wellness Center combines medical, psychological, and nutritional therapies to support recovery. Clients receive weekly individual therapy, psychiatric care, and nutrition counseling. Therapies include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Additional experiences such as mindful movement, body-positive yoga, and art therapy help support both physical and emotional healing. The center also helps clients create continuing care plans to support long-term wellness.
A typical day at Willa Wellness Center begins at 8:30 a.m. and follows a structured, supportive schedule. Clients share breakfast, then join group check-ins and therapy sessions like DBT and body image work. Later in the day, they participate in mindful movement, reflection, and individual therapy, with meals and snacks integrated to support healing.
For clients visiting from out of town or seeking a healing space away from home, Willa Wellness offers fully furnished one-bedroom apartments near the treatment center. These apartments include cable, grocery delivery, housekeeping, laundry service, and Wi-Fi, providing a calm, supportive place to focus on recovery.
