As a PMHNP, Prosperity Eating Disorders and Wellness Center is one of the few places I refer to with complete confidence. I had the opportunity to complete part of my clinical training there as a student, and I learned an incredible amount from their team. The level of expertise, collaboration, and compassion demonstrated by every provider was truly impressive. What stood out most was their commitment to treating the whole person, not just the eating disorder. Their approach is thoughtful, evidence-based, and individualized, and they provide a level of support that can be difficult to find elsewhere. Now that I am practicing independently, I continue to feel very comfortable referring patients to Prosperity because I know they will receive exceptional care. I highly recommend Prosperity to anyone seeking treatment for an eating disorder or to providers looking for a trusted referral source.Posted on Google Riley YTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was introduced to Prosperity Norfolk as an adolescent and later returned as an adult, it being my own choice. I would recommend Prosperity a million times over. They are so incredibly accommodating and truly provide such a safe place. All of the staff genuinely cares about you and your treatment even if they are not on your treatment team. Emily was my therapist who did absolutely everything to help me work through my disorder. She is so knowledgeable and I don’t know how I would have rewired my brain without her. My dietitian was Dina and she made me feel so heard, she was so helpful and always accommodating to my preferences and thoroughly explained why changes were made when they were. I never felt afraid to speak up to any of the staff about what I needed. Everyone was so abundantly joyful. If you are in the Norfolk area or even if the area is the closest place to treatment near you, please go to Prosperity. My life has changed for the better and I feel like myself for the first time since 13.Posted on Google Marcia DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a registered dietitian in private practice who has seen clients who have stepped down from Prosperity’s PHP and IOP programs, I have been impressed with the growth and change these clients report after spending time in the care of the Prosperity team. Clients have had high praise for the dietitians, the therapists and other members of their care team.Posted on Google C TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are not enough words to describe how exceptional the team at Prosperity is. They are compassionate, professional, respectful, knowledgeable, holistic, and sincere to provide a few. I have been amazed by the care my loved one has received and their ability to help her begin healing and the road to recovery. I have complete faith in the care she receives while there. They have communicated with us along the way and have quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. They have been key in my loved one getting her life back. I write this as a family member, but my loved one will tell you the very same. They are top notch and exceptional at the care they provide their clients.Posted on Google Elisabeth PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

As someone who is now 26 and has struggled with an eating disorder since around age 8-10, I could not feel more confident in recommending the team at Prosperity to anyone seeking eating disorder treatment for themselves or their children. Every single person here is kind and compassionate, and also extremely knowledgeable in any and all eating disorders, no matter who may end up being part of your treatment team you will be in the best hands possible that will equip you with the tools you need to work on your recovery, and they will all go above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable during what can be an extremely difficult and emotional time of your life. I personally had an intake appointment with Heather and Gianna and they were both respectful and showed understanding while also helping me navigate the complexity and difficulty of reaching out for help for the first time. I had the absolute pleasure of having Amanda as my dietician and she was always understanding of my struggles and extremely thorough in providing resources, tips, and tools on how to best work through the challenges I had been facing with food. Natalie was my therapist and also the art therapist for all our group sessions, she was caring and compassionate from the very start and went above and beyond to help me in developing healthy coping skills and learning to reframe disordered thoughts. Savannah was the best cook I could have wished for, she took all the negatives that our eating disorders would throw at her and turned them into positives, always being a bright light at what was possibly the worst time for all of us, meal time. Her extensive knowledge and cooking skills meant that despite what my ED wanted me to believe, I was always guaranteed a nourishing delicious home-cooked meal. Stacey is also an extremely well knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate provider and was always great at explaining everything to do with my treatment plan and the decisions being made by my providers. Were I to personally sing every single staff member’s praises this review would turn into a book, but I do want to recognize them all individually for their contributions to my personal experience being so overwhelmingly positive. Nya and Kesha were amazing techs, always bringing a joyful refreshing take to our meal times and treatment hours. Amanda, Rachel, Mary, and Haley led extremely valuable nutrition groups both in and out of the kitchen. Gianna, Emily, Shauna, and Ashley also led group sessions on interpersonal relationships, body image, coping skills, and more and provided us with the tools to embrace ourselves as we are and be equipped to challenge our ED thoughts and choose recovery. Joan was an amazing yoga instructor, that brought so much warmth, understanding, passion, and love to her practice every week. Lastly, but not at all least in importance, was Sherry - her unwavering and radiating joy was a bright light at the end of an extremely dark tunnel. Her support at mealtimes was crucial, and her ability to remain positive when dealing with such hard and triggering topics never ceases to amaze me. In summary, if you or your child are struggling with an ED, I would love to encourage you to take the first step towards recovery by choosing the team at Prosperity 💜
