Eve K.

Thanks to THIRA, I know how to stay calm instead of exploding during hard conversations. I know how to take a step back to observe so I can use my wise mind. I know how to not take every single thing anyone says super personally. But the most helpful thing (a true godsend) is I now know how to set boundaries.

Overall the staff at Thira are awesome. You can tell they truly care about their jobs and want to help us. And yesterday I left Thira willing and sad about leaving. I didn’t think an 8 week (6-8 weeks, but I did the 8) program would change me so much, and it truly did.

As an outpatient eating disorders dietitian, I have seen at least 10 clients after their discharge from THIRA over the last 1 year. Clients have all expressed positive experiences where they felt heard, cared for, and respected. THIRA continues to learn and practice Health At Every Size and use weight-neutral language at their center - something I believe to be vital for recovery and inclusion.

Does my insurance cover residential treatment?

Most commercial insurance plans cover residential mental health treatment. THIRA is in-network with 13+ major carriers including Premera, Regence, BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and more. When you call or fill out the form, we verify your benefits for you — at no cost and no obligation. You’ll know exactly what’s covered before you make any decisions.
Is residential treatment really necessary? Am I overreacting?
If you’re asking this question, you’re probably not overreacting. Residential treatment is for people who need more support than weekly therapy or outpatient programs can provide. That’s not a failure — it’s a level-of-care decision.
What’s it actually like inside? Is it like a hospital?
No. THIRA is not a hospital. It’s a structured treatment environment in a residential setting in Bellevue, WA. You have your own space. You eat meals prepared by our nutrition team. Your days include individual therapy, skills groups, mindfulness sessions, expressive arts, and time with peers.
I’ve tried treatment before and it didn’t work.
That’s one of the most common things we hear. THIRA’s fully adherent DBT program is specifically designed for people who have complex presentations and haven’t responded to standard approaches.
Do you treat men?
Our residential and PHP programs are designed exclusively for women and gender non-conforming adults and teens. Gender-specific treatment creates a safer, more focused therapeutic environment — and it's one of the things that makes Thira different. For those seeking a more flexible option, select virtual IOP programs are open to all genders.
How long is the residential program?

Program length varies based on individual needs. Most residential stays range from a few weeks to several months. Insurance benefits and clinical progress both factor in.

Can you treat eating disorders alongside mental health conditions?
Yes. Many clients have co-occurring conditions. Our clinical team includes HAES-informed Registered Dietitians, and our treatment approach addresses the whole person, not just one diagnosis.
