Tapestry Counseling Services provides a licensed Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Outpatient Services for treatment of Adults and Adolescents with Eating Disorders. We also offer Nutritional Counseling, EMDR and IMAGO therapy.
The Outpatient treatment program consists of a collective of professionals: Outpatient Therapists Nicole Fahy, MA, LPC, NCC, Heidi Houser, MS, LPC, and Nutritionist Michelle Rizzi Shelfer, RD, LDN, IBCLC. Patients are seen by appointment only, please call 828.278.0563 to schedule an appointment. These services range in scope from 5 to 12 hours per day, and are offered at our satellite office: 24 Arlington Street in Asheville. We are in with the Women's Wellness and Education Center Group.
We developed Tapestry to provide an affordable alternative to the high cost of extended treatment for eating disorders; we have strong working relationships with a wide range of insurance plans in order to make your stay cost effective for you (see our tuition page for more information).
Most people mistakenly believe that their health insurance will not
cover residential mental health care. Our insurance experts will thoroughly
research and explain your benefits.
We utilize a community-based recovery model that limits cost while providing a rich interweaving of resources. Eating Disorder Treatment modalities include: Insight-oriented and cognitive-behavioral therapies, Equine Therapy, Nutritional Counseling, expressive arts groups including movement and art therapy, real-world grocery shopping and restaurant practice, healthy food preparation with a Nutritionist, DBT Skills groups, yoga, massage, Trager®, and EMDR.
Tapestry's philosophy is centered around putting recovery into the control of the client while providing support, skills training, and education by staff. We do not lock the doors to the kitchen or follow our clients to the restroom. We work with our clients to gain their trust so they are able to safely inform staff when urges to binge/purge/restrict arise. This assists in allowing the client and staff to identify triggers while in treatment, rather than be shielded from them, and relapse when faced with those triggers after discharge.
