O’Connor Professional Group (OPG) offers customized services to individuals with eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and other (unspecified) eating disorders. We also support caregivers, family members and advisors who are involved with someone with an eating disorder.

Behavioral Health Navigation™ and Intensive Coaching

With the highest rate of mortality of any mental illness, eating disorders can be difficult to address due to several factors, including the fragmented nature of the behavioral health and medical systems, need for coordination across multiple providers, and denial about the severity of the illness. Our clients include family members, individuals, employers and advisors; we help them to navigate the field and provide them with holistic, wrap around support to create better long-term outcomes.

Our Continuum of Services Address

Clients with co-occurring behavioral health and medical issues.
Families and individuals looking for customized solutions, including intensive in-home support.
Individuals leaving structured environments and returning home.

O’Connor Professional Group Is More Than a Business Endeavor

OPG is a mission sparked by my experience accessing resources for my youngest brother who struggled with addiction and anxiety for over ten years. I founded O’Connor Professional Group to help families, like mine, find high-quality resources and develop strong community-based supports. OPG is more than a company it’s a team of dedicated individuals working towards the single goal of helping people navigate these complex issues. Learn more about the people that make OPG what it is.
