My daughter saw Kirsten Beuthin, and she really liked her.

Re: Eating disorder (2001)
For the woman looking for a therapist who works with individuals' eating disorders... I would highly recommend Kirsten Beuthin. She is a thoughtful, dedicated and caring clinician who not only specializes in this area of work but is excellent working with adolscents and young adults. She is not in the East Bay, but isn't too far; she's across the San Rafael Bridge out in the Kentfield area and can be reached at 415 419-3576. She may also have a sliding scale if cost is a factor, but her rates are generally in the $70 per session range. She'll also know about adjunctive resources for your daughter should that be necessary. Michael
