La Frontera Center is a behavioral health provider in Tucson, Arizona, established before 1990. It offers care for eating disorders, one of the less common specialties among nearby facilities, alongside EMDR as a therapeutic approach. The center is set in a desert environment and includes outdoor recreation and hiking among its activities.

Services extend to pregnant women, and the center accepts sliding-scale payment, which can make care more accessible depending on individual financial circumstances. Together, these features describe a community-rooted facility that combines clinical treatment options with a setting-based approach to care in the Tucson area.
