Compassionate, Specialized Care for
Eating Disorder Recovery
Edison Eating Disorder & Mental Health Services brings together therapy, nutrition, and psychiatric care as Iowa’s only multidisciplinary team dedicated exclusively to eating disorder treatment.
About Edison
IOWA’S ONLY MULTIDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT TEAM FOR EATING DISORDERS
Edison Eating Disorder and Mental Health Services was founded in 2023 to expand access to specialized, evidence-based eating disorder treatment across Iowa — one of the most underserved states in the country for this kind of care. Based in West Des Moines, our collaborative team of therapists and dietitians works together under one roof, so you never have to piece your care together alone.

OUTPATIENT THERAPY
One-on-one, evidence-based therapy for eating disorders and disordered eating, drawing on DBT, ACT, CPT, FBT and trauma-informed approaches tailored to your goals — not a one-size-fits-all program. -

Fall 2026: PSYCHIATRIC CARE
This fall, our psychiatric providers will begin offering medication management, adding another layer of coordinated care under one roof.
Why Edison?
The name Edison—and the lightbulb at the heart of our logo—reflects what we believe about recovery. Our providers are holders of light and hope, especially in moments when it can be difficult to see either for yourself.
Recovery often unfolds through a series of “lightbulb moments”—new insights, shifts in perspective, and small breakthroughs that gradually illuminate a different way forward. And like the process of creating the lightbulb itself, recovery is rarely linear. It can take persistence, setbacks, learning, and trying again.
The lightbulb reminds us that progress doesn’t require a perfect path—only the willingness to keep searching for the light.
