Equip

Equip is a telehealth platform specializing in eating disorder treatment using Family-Based Treatment (FBT), the gold-standard evidence-based approach for anorexia and bulimia in children, adolescents, and young adults. Founded in 2019, Equip operates in all 50 states and has built a clinical model that brings the FBT treatment team — therapist, dietitian, psychiatrist, and peer mentor — to patients through telehealth rather than requiring residential or day program enrollment. FBT involves family members as active participants in the recovery process, which Equip implements through structured family therapy sessions alongside individual patient care. Equip accepts most major insurance plans and has worked extensively to ensure FBT is covered as a medically necessary eating disorder treatment. Clinical outcomes data published by Equip shows outcomes comparable to in-person residential programs at a fraction of the cost and with patients remaining in their home environment. Equip is appropriate for patients who are medically stable — it does not treat patients requiring medical monitoring for refeeding syndrome, extreme electrolyte abnormalities, or patients with vital signs instability, who require higher-acuity inpatient care first. For families of children, adolescents, or young adults with anorexia, bulimia, or ARFID who want evidence-based treatment without residential enrollment, Equip is the leading telehealth option. therapist, dietitian, psychiatrist, and peer mentor — to patients through telehealth rather than requiring residential or day program enrollment.
