Eating Disorder Psychiatry in Los Angeles & Santa Barbara
Compassionate, non-judgmental psychiatric care for eating disorders — coordinated with your therapist and dietitian as part of a connected treatment team.
Specialized, coordinated eating disorder care
Eating disorders are serious, treatable psychiatric conditions — not lifestyle choices or phases. They carry real medical risk, and recovery is most effective with a coordinated team. At Refine Psychiatry, we provide the psychiatric piece of that care — thoughtful evaluation and treatment of co-occurring conditions — working alongside your therapist, dietitian, and medical providers. Eating disorder or disordered eating? Not everyone meets the criteria for a formal diagnosis. "Disordered eating" describes patterns like chronic dieting, rigid food rules, or an unhealthy fixation on eating "clean" (sometimes called orthorexia). These patterns still deserve care, and they can be a reason to reach out.
Conditions we help treat
We provide psychiatric support across the range of eating disorders, including:
Anorexia nervosa Bulimia nervosa Binge-eating disorder ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) Orthorexia (an unhealthy fixation on eating "healthy") Disordered eating alongside anxiety, depression, or OCD

Our approach to care
Our care is non-judgmental and collaborative. Because eating disorders carry medical risk, we work as part of a team — coordinating with therapists, dietitians, and physicians so no part of your care happens in isolation.
How we help
We focus on the psychiatric side of recovery: careful evaluation, treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression, and thoughtful medication management where appropriate — always coordinated with the rest of your treatment team.
What to expect as a patient
Your first visit is a comprehensive, compassionate evaluation. We'll discuss your history and goals and coordinate with your existing providers — in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, or by secure video across California.
