SpringSource has a team of compassionate therapists who specialize in treating eating disorders such as ARFID, anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and OSFED. The Co-Founders of SpringSource, Dr. Susan McClanahan and Dr. Angela Derrick, are recognized experts with decades of experience in leadership roles, teaching, engaging in primary research, publishing, and presenting in the fields of eating disorders and behavioral health.
SpringSource Co-Founders Dr. Susan McClanahan & Dr. Angela Derrick have a rich and expansive history in Chicago’s behavioral health and eating disorder community. Dr. McClanahan is the original founder of Insight Behavioral Health Centers (now ERC/Pathlight), a prominent eating disorder clinic and the first intensive outpatient program in Chicago for treating eating, mood, and anxiety disorders.
Through Dr. McClanahan’s leadership, Insight Behavioral Health grew to provide IOP & PHP programs in 7 Chicago Area locations as well as the first residential treatment center for eating disorders in the city of Chicago
Dr. Angela Derrick joined Insight soon after its founding and played an integral role as a Clinical Director for Insight Behavioral Health and ERC/Pathlight. Dr. Derrick notes, “I’m really proud of having been at Insight for so long and helping turn it from an IOP [Intensive Outpatient Program] into a PHP [Partial Hospitalization Program]. We were one of the first eating disorder and behavioral health treatment centers in the area and the foremost practice in downtown Chicago for many years.”
This wealth of experience establishes SpringSource as a leading expert in the fields of eating disorders & behavioral health today.
