Monte Nido Vista treats women suffering from anorexia, bulimia, and exercise addiction.
Monte Nido Vista is a unique 10 bed facility nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Santa Monica mountains on the edge of Malibu State park just 15 minutes from the beach. The Monte Nido Vista program places a high priority on individualized plans and individual therapy for anorexia treatment, bulimia treatment, and exercise addiction, as provided by Carolyn Costin, LMFT and Community Counseling.
Carolyn Costin, the founder and clinical director, believes that individuals with eating disorders can be "recovered" where the goal is not only the absence of symptoms, but the resolution of whatever problems or needs the disordered behaviors are trying to express.
Payment Options: Cash/Check, Credit Cards, will assist with billing insurance
"Eating and exercise disorders are progressive and debilitating illnesses requiring medical, nutritional and psychological intervention. Individuals suffering from these disorders often need a structured environment to achieve recovery. However, all too often a person does well in a highly structured, regimented environment only to fall into relapse upon returning to a less structured situation. Our residential programs for anorexia treatment, bulimia treatment and exercise addiction treatment are designed to meet the individual needs of clients and their families in a way that gives them an increasingly higher level of responsibility and "teaches" them how to recover and sustain it. The atmosphere at Monte Nido and its affiliate programs, is professional and structured, but it is also warm, friendly, and family-like. We use highly dedicated staff members, many of whom are recovered themselves, thus serving as excellent role models. Our philosophy and environment inspires people to commit to overcoming obstacles that are interfering with the quality of their lives."

Treatment Model: Eating disorders are very complex and usually develop as a way to cope with difficult feelings, stress, and/or relationship conflicts. Eating disorders do not have one identifiable cause, instead they usually develop from the combination of a variety of vulnerabilities including psychological factors, emotional difficulties, personality features, social & cultural factors, and family difficulties. Through my 4 Step therapy process, you can develop an understanding of the factors that contributed to the development of your eating disorder and the purpose it serves so that you can begin the process of healing and develop new ways of coping.
Ms. Spezialy treats Anorexia and Bulimia in adolescent and adult women. She also works with Athletes and Compulsive Exercisers, Food Addiction, Binge Eating Disorder, Obesity, Compulsive Overeating and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror? Does the number on the scale determine your mood or how your day will be? Are you afraid of being fat or worried about your weight? Do you feel fat even though others say you’re too thin? Do you think you will be happy if you are thin? Do you count calories, exercise to burn calories, or purge after you eat? Do you eat when you’re upset or does food give you comfort? Do you feel controlled by food? If you are feeling controlled by thoughts, fears, and worries about food, weight, and appearance, you might feel frustrated, depressed, anxious, confused, and exhausted. I provide special counseling services to help you understand why you are thinking and feeling this way so that you can take control of your life instead of being controlled by food and weight issues.

Eating disorders are extremely complex. I believe that in order to help clients the therapist must work at several levels. Ultimately it is essential that underlying issues are identified, understood and in some way resolved. At the same time, behavior changes need to take place. Clients need hands on tools that they can use immediately. They need to learn how to identify and tolerate painful feeling without turning to food, purging or restrictive behavior to cope. From the first session I offer tools to make these changes.

Treatment Model: Erica Ives has been practicing as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 1997 and specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, women’s issues, and addiction. She passionately believes in life with freedom from an eating disorder and addiction and views recovery as being unique to each and every individual She values and creates a safe, nurturing, and empathic environment for one to successfully begin their journey of recovery. Erica teaches the tools for one to achieve a life filled with balance and awareness. She believes the eating disorder symptoms (those related to food, weight, body image) must be treated simultaneously with underlying psychological symptoms (depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder). A mindful path of recovery is about reclaiming your mind and body, learning to challenge and gain freedom from the daily negative self-talk, creating a healthy relationship with yourself and others, and also identifying and connecting to your own truth. Being assertive yet always being very cognizant of who is on the receiving end. True freedom from an eating disorder requires willingness, patience, honesty, hope, trusting professionals, and mindfulness.
When Erica treats an eating disorder, she is always working closely with a treatment team. There are far too many components of treatment that require the expertise of many professionals. Creating a treatment team one feels comfortable and safe with, a team that is willing to communicate and create an-ongoing treatment plan that is in the best interest of the client.
Ms. Ives treats Anorexia and Bulimia; females, adolescents, and adults. She also works with Athletes and Compulsive Exercisers, Food Addiction, Binge Eating Disorder, Night Eating Syndrome, Pica, Compulsive Overeating, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

Treatment Model: My approach to treatment is very personalized and creatively powerful method inclusive of "life coaching", nutrition therapy, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and spiritual, (different from religiosity). I offer intensive outpatient treatment coupling individual treatment with empowering peer support in a primary support therapy group meeting 1-3 times weekly as needed. I also offer family counseling, couples, multifamily group and support person's groups. I treat all facets of all eating disorders for all ages.

"As someone who once faced death head on due to my E.D., I know the unfathomable despair involved. I also know, just as equally, that absolutely recovery exists! My firm belief of this affliction is the affliction of our "ego" and our need to be "special". The truth is you always were... The empowering coaching work that I do comes from my own experience fighting with death. The importance of "safety" i.e.: trust in the therapist is vital in order for recovery to happen. We must be willing, no matter how uncomfortable or "scary" to be 100% honest. Personal accountability, integrity, compassion towards SELF first, and having experienced, loving highly trained and gifted professionals traveling along beside you will make all the difference for you. My (our) first priority always is you, the patient. When I work with another human my prayer is to be a faucet for which the healing truth can enter, then we, together can look, feel, see, and most importantly take action towards life!"
