Thank you for your interest in The Center for Eating Disorders.
Eating disorders are multifaceted medical conditions that are often frightening for both patients and families. It takes a long-term commitment by a highly skilled medical staff to address their complexities. I hope this website gives you a good idea of the groundbreaking work we’re doing here.
Sheppard Pratt is Maryland’s largest provider of behavioral health and special education services. We’re proud of our affiliation with the nationally respected Center for Eating Disorders, a leading provider of treatment in our region since 1989.
Our dedication and holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment begins with Drs. Harry Brandt and Steven Crawford. They’re board-certified psychiatrists who possess the experience and vision to combat these disorders through comprehensive treatment, research, education and community outreach.
Our commitment continues with our team of psychiatrists, psychologists, nutritionists, occupational therapists, expressive arts therapists, nursing staff, licensed clinical social workers and professional counselors.
We have over 30 clinicians who are solely devoted to the treatment of eating disorders and are licensed or certified in their area of expertise. Our Center provides a range of services that help the patient work toward recovery. These include an inpatient unit, a day hospital, an intensive outpatient program and a full range of outpatient services.
I’m very gratified to see the Center working together with other programs at Sheppard Pratt. All of us are proud to be part of the foremost eating disorder treatment effort in the nation. We strive to be a valuable source of healing for patients, families and the community.
Sincerely,
Steven S. Sharfstein, M.D.
