"Opal does an amazing job challenging my eating disorder at every meal/snack. The group facilitators are thoughtful and do a great job explaining topics in a way that really connects. I really appreciate that Opal focuses on both the eating disorder and OCD. I think it’s truly making a big difference in my recovery."
