About Me

McCallum Place: McCallum Place was founded by Dr. Kimberli McCallum, a psychiatrist with more than 25 years of experience treating individuals with eating disorders. Located in the Metro St. Louis areas of Webster Groves and Kirkwood, McCallum Place provides comprehensive medical and psychiatric care, specialized psychotherapies and nutritional support for patients with eating disorders. With five levels of care to choose from and homelike and real life settings, we give clients their best chance at recovery. Our programs are designed to create an environment of structure and support. We strive to help individuals build the confidence necessary to let go of their patterns of restrictive eating, purging and compulsive exercise. At McCallum Place, care and experience give way to restorative treatment, opening new doorways of hope and possibility.
