Kahm Center for Eating Disorders is expanding! We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Eating Disorder Therapist to join our team at Kahm Center for Eating Disorders in Burlington, VT. As a therapist at our center, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals struggling with eating disorders. We are looking to hire a therapist, passionate about treating eating disorders, to join our New Child and Adolescents eating disorder program. The Kahm Center for Eating Disorders is a small entirely family-owned and operated by the Kahms (Mother and Son), cherishing the intimate, familial atmosphere we foster. Our office, located in the beautifully renovated Chace Mills building in Burlington, offers beautiful views of the roaring Winooski River. The space features wood floors, exposed brick walls, and comfortable couches, all contributing to its charming, homely ambiance. Group sizes are intentionally kept small to ensure clinical excellence. This close-knit environment allows everyone to know each other well, fostering real relationships and friendships among patients. It is heartwarming to sit and eat with them, listening to their laughter and the encouragement they share with one another. We maintain this small and intimate setting because we believe it is optimal for achieving positive outcomes. This is very much a role where you will be on a tight knit team working closely with colleagues.

We have a unique treatment method that uses metabolic testing and body composition analysis to help cure malnutrition. From long outpatient experience we know that the therapeutic and psychiatric elements of eating disorder treatment are improved when patients are better nourished. We are actively involved in research on eating disorders, metabolism, and body composition – and besides offering excellent care, one of our goals is to improve eating disorder treatment more broadly.
