Brighten Bay

On a ranch setting in Fort Pierce, Florida, Brighten Bay is a residential program treating women with eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. The 2.5 acre campus provides a tranquil and relaxing environment where women can enjoy nature and foster a sense of community during the recovery process. They have access to walking trails, a pool, and several outdoor lounge spaces that help create a space where women can relax and focus on healing.
The multidisciplinary team at Brighten Bay uses evidence-based therapies to provide comprehensive and personalized treatment, catered to the unique needs of each client. Nutrition counseling is a core component of the program, with clients spending time in the kitchen daily doing planning and meal prep work. Other therapies include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), eye movement therapy (EMDR), equine therapy, and expressive arts. Brighten Bay seeks to empower their clients and help them create lasting change for long-term recovery.
