Eating Disorder Nutritionist for 16 year old
My 16 year old is battling bulimia and is currently being seen at Kaiser WC metal health. She hasn't qualified for the intensive (3day/ wk) program at this point and unfortunately, that's the only way we'd have access to a Kaiser "eating disorder" nutritionist. I'm willing to go out of network and would love someone familiar with the Maudsley approach as our entire family is willing to heal and get educated along with her.
Grateful for some leads close to Walnut Creek.

Hi there;
While I am not familiar with the approach, but because I was myself bulimic from 16 to 24 and have today 26 years of recovery, I would just like to offer my support to your family or your daughter alone (if she wanted it, someone to talk to in confidence, and whose been there - there was no one there for me when I was younger and it may have helped...).
Let me know, if you wish to talk, or if she does.
I wish you the best on this journey ... one day it will be better and she will not do this anymore.
I can recommend Michele Vivas based on my daughter's treatment with her. I am not sure what her referral procedure is or if she has any openings, but she is highly regarded in this area. Good luck to you and your daughter in this difficult journey.
