Often, eating or not eating is a means to manage overwhelming feelings, and regulate dis-regulated physiological states of arousal. Uncovering the origins of these overwhelming feelings is important, along with learning behavioral, cognitive and physiological means to control these dis-regulated states through neurofeedback and biofeedback. Before you can regulate them you must become aware of them. Let me help you take real control of your life. I have practiced psychotherapy for over 19 years, and neurofeedback and biofeedback training for over 15 years.

Eating disorders are very challenging. People who are ready to commit to working on their recovery have the best chance. ED is not about food per say. It's more about stuffing or starving feelings in oder to feel a sense of relief and a sense of control. Giving up your ED identity can be frightening. I'll teach you to use healthy coping skills and help you to figure out what your real identity is. We'll learn about distorted thinking and work on poor body image. Trust is very important, I will work to gain yours.There is life after an eating disorder. Let me help you find your way. if your not ready to recover, we can just chat.
Madison Brightwell, MA, C.Ht.
Madison's belief is that a person's negative or dysfunctional relationship to food can lead to eating disorders such as weight gain or loss, overeating, bulimia and anorexia. Madison can show you tools and techniques that enable you to gain a better understanding of how your relationship to food is not working for you. Sometimes just one simple instruction like "eat more slowly" can provide the key to helping you gain control of your eating habits.

I have had considerable experience treating patients with eating disorders, and believe that those who have EDs need two things: good relationships with others and a good relationship with themselves. Self acceptance, self-esteem and self love are the goals. My approach is a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques designed to help clients understand how and where their contempt for their bodies started, then to focus on practicing behaviors that foster good health and good relationships.
Carl H. Shubs, Ph.D.
If you have difficulties with your eating, there is always some emotional component. Together, we’ll examine what the psychological and emotional issues are that are involved in your particular problems with eating. This applies with compulsive overeating, anorexia, and bulimia. Even milder forms of overeating or undereating have emotional aspects, and we can deal with them. Bingeing or purging come in many forms, and we’ll examine how that may apply with you.
It’s not about the diet, it’s about the dieter. It’s about the way you relate to your emotions, the people and situations in your life, and how you translate that to eating. You’re not damaged or a failure. Psychotherapy helps.

I work with eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating. Through our work, we will discover and understand the patterns and behavior of your family that helped to contribute to this disorder. Low self-esteem, feelings of helplessness, depression and trouble talking about feelings are some of the underlying issues. Through exploration, we will get to the root of the problem and learn more effective coping skills
Trish Phillips, M.A., MFT
Eating disorders can leave you feeling very isolated, alone and distant. Often an eating disorder starts as an attempt to have "control" over something in a persons life and by the time help is sought you can feel like you don't have control of anything. An eating disorder can be one of the easiest secrets to keep and yet is also one of the most dangerous. You are not alone and you don't have to walk this path by yourself. Together we can explore what led you to this point in your life and come up with strategies to help you break this cycle so you can live a full and healthy life.

Call my cell at (310)729-7971 and take the first step toward health and a positive view of yourself.
Heather Browne, PsyD, MA, LMFT
I work with all eating disorders except Anorexia. First, it is vital to make certain of the client's health. Once it is clear that the client is ready for therapy, we explore the patterns and habits that are being acted out. We use cognitive behavior techniques to try at trouble shoot so that there are new resources when the client is in danger of acting out. Developing a supportive network and dietary research is important for their health. A log is frequently used to monitor change and growth. Once there is stabilization, we explore the family dynamics and control which most likelyexacerbated the eating disorder. The faulty thought processes need to be altered.

Eating disorders greatly interrupt the quality of life for the person suffering from this complex disease. It can become the center of one's existence, creating isolation, depression, and anxiety in its' wake. My approach to treating eating disorders is to deeply understand what is at the core of the development of the eating disorder...what pain it is helping to manage...so that one to begin to understand the root cause of this addictive behavior and begin to slowly replace eating disordered behavior with a new understanding and acceptance of teh self as well as new coping behaviors. It is a complicated process, but one that can lead to long term health and recovery.
Gary S Fisher, Psy.D., CDAC
If you are suffering from an eating disorder, you are struggling with one of the most difficult behavioral problems humans can face. This is the only obsessive/compulsive based disorder that requires the individual to continue the behavior and change the way they react to it. In treating this complex issue, I have found a holistic approach designed to change one’s relationship with food and any negative body issues to be the most effective. It is vital to also address any trauma that underlies the vast majority of people’s histories, who have an eating disorders.

EMDR, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, & Acceptance & Commitment Therapy have all been shown to be useful in the treatment of eating disorders. While anorexia is imminently life-threatening and is, therefore, best treated inpatient, bulemia, bulmarexia & compulsive over-eating may respond if matched well to one of the above out-patient therapies and used in conjunction with group therapy, a peer support group, or a 12-step program.

If you have an Eating Disorder, you may be used to internalizing feelings (shame, guilt, fear, sadness, anger) rather than sharing your feelings with others.
But now, its your time to share.
In the warmth and security of my home-like therapy office, you will have the opportunity to talk about who you are: your physical identity, and your emotional and relational identities. Together, we will work towards healing from the inside out.
There is hope for relief. I'm here to help you: call (626) 272-4908 today.

If you have an eating disorder, you know what it's like to feel shame. Let's work together to find out how your relationship to food got distorted. Is it an issue with body image? Or are you using food to stuff down feelings? Are you purging to get rid of pain and anger? Or has perfectionism made it impossible for you to enjoy even your smallest accomplishments? There is hope, there is help, there is a cure. I've been there too; call me!

I have worked with clients with anorexia, bulimia, and over-eating disorders. These illnesses can cause tremendous pain and suffering and can also be life threatening. It's imperative that someone struggling with an eating disorder gets help before their life spirals out of control. Therapy is geared towards eliminating the addictive behavior, treating its causes, dealing with unhealthy body image issues, and learning new ways to have a relationship to food. A team approach is often used, including a psychiatrist if medication is needed, as well as a nutritionist. Reach out for help so that you can gain or reclaim a healthy lifestyle, both physically and emotionally.

A safe place to talk about intense emotions for those diagnosed with an eating disorder can be of benefit as an individual uncovers the root motivations which might be linked with eating disorders. Several unresolved emotions and issues often are found at the core of eating problems, often beginning in early adolesence. Learning how to express feelings such as anger, sadness, guilt, and fear can be a freeing experience with a professional therapist.

I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS). During graduate school I trained in an eating disorder research clinic and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for eating disorders in adults and adolescents. For adults with eating disorders, I provide cognitive behavioral therapy which is well-proven in research, especially for the treatment of bulimia nervosa. For adolescents with anorexia or bulimia, the treatment of choice is Maudsley Family Based therapy (FBT) in which the support of the whole family is enlisted to help in treatment. I have received training in this very effective model and am undergoing advanced certification training in FBT.

My name is Dr. Taji Huang and I have dedicated the past 12 years of my career to the field of mental health in a very broad range of mental health settings. I have had the priviledge of working closely with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couples, family and group settings. One of the tools that I use is psychotherapy, which involves regular face-to-face meetings with the psychologist. Sessions typically last between 45-50 minutes, one or more times per week; depending on the case. In this confidential and safe setting, clients have the opportunity to explore personal issues with someone who has unique listening skills.

When working with someone with an eating disorder that is a minor or young adult living at home, it is important to include the parents or care takers in the treatment.
Our brain continues to grow and develop neurobiologicaly during the first years of life as we interact with our caretakers in a social setting. Eating disorders often stem from a family-systems dynamic. The relationship that the person with the eating disorder has to him/herself reflects how he/she feels in his/her relationship with significant others in the family. Therapy involves development of a new, healthy relationship with the self and others.
