Exciting New Program

In the summer of 2009 Woodland Forge will introduce a Family Based Intensive Week for children, adolescents and young adults with anorexia nervosa to help move a patient who is "stuck" in their eating disorder or help children and adolescents overcome an eating disorder before it comes entrenched and significantly harder to treat. This program will serve as a powerful, short-term adjunct to the interventions provided by the patient's current treatment team.

Our Location

Woodland Forge is located at 3000 Valley Forge Circle, G-11, King of Prussia, PA 19406. The name, Woodland Forge, was inspired by the beauty of the neighboring Valley Forge National Park. We also found the word forge to be evocative of several layers of meaning pertaining to an intensive, perhaps, difficult creative process. In our materials we include the image of a forest path to represent this journey and commit our services to help make this process easier.

Compassionate, Effective, Outpatient Eating Disorder Treatment in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania

Welcome to Woodland Forge, the clinical practice of Dr. Ellen Davis and Dr. Alex Gonçalves. Our new name and new location, located near the beautiful Valley Forge National Park in Pennsylvania, are an outgrowth of our ongoing commitment to providing compassionate, effective, outpatient eating disorder treatment. We are both psychologists who have extensive experience working with eating disorders.

At Woodland Forge we believe that issues with food need to be dealt with directly and experientially in a safe and nurturing context. These food issues range from picky eating to emotional overeating, and from binge eating to restricting caloric intake. These issues are treated across ages in our program.

Eating disorder treatment is also offered within a family based treatment paradigm for children, adolescents, and young adults still living at home. Parents play a critical role in therapy and are an important factor in determining sustained recovery. Woodland Forge, with its comfortable eating room, has the facilities to directly engage patients and their families in exposure and skills-based interventions to treat disordered eating.

We are often asked if we are doing the “Maudsley” method of family based treatment.
