Access to the right team of multidisciplinary professionals can support meaningful recovery — whether you are navigating an eating disorder or other mental health challenges and help restore the energy and focus needed to engage fully in life.
Individuals and families often reach out when patterns around food, body image, anxiety, low mood or stress begin to feel overwhelming or restrictive. These experiences can impact relationships, work, school and daily functioning, creating a sense of isolation or exhaustion.
For some, this may be the first time food, body image or mental health concerns have become difficult to manage. For others, it may follow years of ongoing challenges. Reaching out reflects a readiness for change and a desire for structured, compassionate support.
People benefit from working with clinicians who understand the complexity of eating disorders and broader mental health conditions, and who can provide a clear and steady pathway forward.
Myrtle Oak Clinic is a team of experienced Psychologists and Dietitians offering specialist eating disorder treatment alongside support for anxiety, depression, stress and related concerns. Our integrated approach allows us to address both emotional wellbeing and nutritional health in a coordinated way.
We support individuals and families to reduce overwhelming thoughts and unhelpful patterns, restore balance and direct their energy toward the parts of life that matter most.
