“Eating disorders thrive on secrecy, so a lot of people, and a lot of families, spend months circling a question they’re afraid to ask out loud. These tools aren’t a diagnosis. They’re a way to put language to what someone is noticing, so that when they do reach out, whether to us or to any provider, they can have a more informed conversation.” – Clarissa Ledsome, LPC, LCDC, IEDS, Clinical Director, Eating Disorder Solutions<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
New online tools help individuals and families recognize warning signs, understand levels of care, and prepare insurance questions before reaching out for help.<\/div>\n

Weatherford, Texas – September 15, 2026 –<\/strong> Eating Disorder Solutions (EDS), a residential and outpatient eating disorder treatment center based in Weatherford, Texas, today announced the launch of a suite of free, clinically reviewed self-reflection tools at eatingdisordersolutions.com\/tools\/<\/a>. The tools are designed to help individuals, and the people who care about them, recognize patterns worth discussing with a professional, understand what different levels of eating disorder care involve, and prepare informed questions before contacting a treatment provider or insurance company.<\/p>\n

The suite includes ten free tools in total: a general self-reflection screener; checklist-style assessments for emotional eating, binge eating, body image, ARFID (avoidant\/restrictive food intake disorder), rigid food rules and an overly narrow focus on “clean” eating, and stress- and anxiety-driven eating; a Warning Signs Tool built for parents, partners, and friends; a Treatment Readiness & Level of Care Navigator; and an Insurance Navigator. None of the tools render a diagnosis. Each is built around a clear, consistent disclaimer that a professional evaluation is the only way to understand what is happening, with guidance on what a next step could look like.<\/p>\n

The Treatment Readiness & Level of Care Navigator walks visitors through open-ended questions about their situation to help them understand the difference between residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient levels of care, and what to bring to a clinical assessment.<\/p>\n

The Insurance Navigator explains what to ask an insurance provider about eating disorder treatment coverage, since benefits and prior-authorization requirements vary widely by plan and are often confusing to sort through during an already difficult time.<\/p>\n

“Eating disorders thrive on secrecy, so a lot of people, and a lot of families, spend months circling a question they’re afraid to ask out loud. These tools aren’t a diagnosis. They’re a way to put language to what someone is noticing, so that when they do reach out, whether to us or to any provider, they can have a more informed conversation.” – Clarissa Ledsome, LPC, LCDC, IEDS, Clinical Director, Eating Disorder Solutions<\/p>\n

Because eating disorders often involve secrecy, minimization, or denial, the tools are built for two audiences at once: someone questioning their own relationship with food or body image, and a parent, partner, or friend trying to decide whether what they are observing warrants a conversation with a professional. The Warning Signs Tool in particular is framed as a quick reference for loved ones, not just for the person who may be struggling.<\/p>\n

The tools are available now, free of charge, at eatingdisordersolutions.com\/tools\/<\/a>. Individuals with questions about treatment options or insurance coverage can call (888) 458-2994. These tools are not designed for crisis situations; if you or someone you love is in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.<\/p>\n
