Company History
In 1993, psychologist Dirk Miller, PhD, LP, opened a private eating disorders treatment practice after a distinguished career in the field. Previously, he had started the first hospital-based eating disorders treatment program at South Bend (IN) General Hospital. He had also worked with the University of Minnesota’s intensive bulimia program and started an eating disorders group at The University of St. Thomas.
“I had great experiences,” he says, “but I didn’t feel as good about treating eating disorders in a hospital setting as I did in outpatient settings. The goals of a hospital didn’t coincide with the needs of the eating disorder clients I knew. Mental health issues are very different than physical health concerns and require different methods and settings.”
Dr. Miller named his new practice The Emily Program, after his sister, Emily, who recovered from an eating disorder. The Emily name has come to signify the core values behind our successes: personalized care for all individuals struggling with eating disorders.
