Personal Statement :
|
Have you ever wondered whether your eating habits and/or body image concerns could indicate the onset of an eating disorder? Are you of the (erroneous) belief that an ED is incurable, and does it frighten you to think that an eating disorder might be fatal? If you are currently in treatment, do you feel discouraged that your progress is not what it should be? Do you feel at a loss for where to turn to find the quality of expert help you or your loved one deserve? If so, I can help you.....
During the 40 years of my practice in psychotherapy, I have brought literally hundreds of hard-to-treat clients and their families to complete recovery… to a resolution of eating-related problems, along with a re-connection to their exiled core self, permitting more effective acceptance and resolution of all of life’s problems. I treat and provide consultation to clients individually, in groups, and through family therapy, and have pioneered in integrating the experiential mind/body work of the Feldenkrais Method (see www.empoweredparents.com for description) as a cutting-edge adjunct treatment technique to augment and promote body image awareness and enhance body-and self-image acceptance, integration and healing. I make myself available to clients for treatment seven days a week, daytimes and evenings. In this troubled economy, I remain sensitive to and accommodate clients’ needs through the use of a sliding fee scale.
It takes courage to pick up the phone to make this first leap of faith towards healing; even as early as this very first encounter, you should be able to feel the quality of a therapist's knowledge and caring. I invite you to contact me (847-432-1795) to discuss how I work, my philosophy of treatment, and any concerns and questions you might have about yourself and/or the treatment process. You can be assured that you will have found an advocate and mentor fully capable and committed to walking this path together with you.
Please note that you can find additional support in browsing my website, www.empoweredparents.com and in reading my book "When Your Child Has an Eating Disorder: a Step-by-Step Workbook for Parents and Other Caregivers" which will educate and prepare you for the challenges and rewards that lie ahead. This workbook is an invaluable resource for adult patients as well as parents in describing what these disorders are really about, what makes ED treatment effective, and how a patient can insure recovery.
