Dr. Benita Quakenbush-Roberts & her husband Gary founded Avalon Hills Eating Disorder Treatment Center in 2003. Benita is a psychologist with 20+ years of clinical experience working with kids, teens & adults, with a wide range of mental health disorders.
Avalon Hills offers a path to recovery using innovation and research, and by providing experiences that facilitate psychological growth. Clients create new behaviors using a combination of traditional psychotherapies and applied neuroscience, including the latest discoveries about human brain plasticity. Clients at Avalon Hills receive the most in-depth psychotherapeutic assessments available in the world.
Eating disorders symptoms are not the heart of the illness. They are attempts to deal with underlying problems that have gone undetected. Therapies at Avalon Hills include Martial arts & yoga, dietetics & outdoor fitness. The center Treats to Outcome as a commitment to treatments that are sustainable when clients return home.
