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.

"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!"

As the eating disorders dietitian for Kaiser Permanente's Valley Service Area since 2000, she has had the opportunity to modify and refine her treatment approach in order to provide the most comprehensive and most effective nutrition care. By implementing a non-diet, cognitive-behavioral approach, the goals of nutrition therapy include establishing a collaborative relationship, providing nutrition education relevant to the eating disorder and the client's circumstances and, decoupling, i.e., separating food-and weight-related behaviors from feelings and psychological issues. Nonetheless, the ultimate goal is to reduce and eventually obliterate the symptoms as well as to change the cognitive distortions concerning nutrition, food, weight and, health that perpetuate the disorder.

"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!"
