About Charis Eating Disorder Care
Founded by Amie Shields and inspired by her own recovery journey, Charis Eating Disorder Care began as a blog and has since grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing compassionate, faith-based treatment and support. Today, Charis offers residential and partial hospitalization treatment, outpatient services, and recovery retreats in a safe and supportive environment.
Through The Charis House, a residential facility for women, the organization focuses on helping those facing eating disorders including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), and related co-occurring disorders. Each treatment plan is customized to meet the unique needs of every individual, ensuring patients are guided through the Charis treatment process: Restore, Restory, and Refresh.
A Vision for the Future
“We’re lifting more than just dirt today. We’re creating space for life, hope, and healing. This new therapy suite will be a place where women are seen, supported, and surrounded with the care they need. Every step forward is for the women who are here now and those still waiting for help,” said Amie Shields, founder of Charis Eating Disorder Care. “Partnering with Foresight is a dream realized—they understand the heart behind this project and are helping bring that vision to life. Together, we’re creating a place where stories of restoration and transformation can unfold.”
