- ABOUT US
Begin Your Journey to Wellness at Wellness Recovery Center
At Wellness Recovery Center in Tustin Ranch, CA, we provide residential care for adults 18 and older who are navigating a complicated relationship with food, their body, or themselves. Whether you are living with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, or an eating disorder alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, or PTSD — you are welcome here. Our care is compassionate, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that recovery is possible. Call us at (949) 704-6793 or reach out through our Contact Us page to learn more or take the first step.
Healing Begins With a Different Story
At Wellness Recovery Center, one belief runs underneath everything we do: an eating disorder is not who you are. It is something that has gotten between you and yourself — and that distance can be closed.
Narrative therapy is the foundation of our work. In collaboration with our therapists, clients begin to separate their identity from the disorder, reconnect with their own values and strengths, and build a sense of self that recovery can take root in. We don’t arrive with a fixed story about who you are or what your path should look like. We come alongside you and ask — what do you want your story to say?
Whether you are reaching out for yourself or for someone you love, you are in the right place. Your story is not finished. We are here to help you write what comes next.
