I am now offering eating disorder group treatment with myself and a registered dietitian. 

In addition individual psychotherapy, I also facilitate several groups. The first group provides supportive group therapy for people who suffer from eating disorders. I co-lead this group with Leah Hopkins, RD, offering help to those suffering from Compulsive Overeating, Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. It is our intention to help group participants rediscover an intuitive sense of appropriate eating as we explore underlying issues that fuel eating behavior. I also offer a support group for families and loved ones of someone with an eating disorder. Participants will learn about eating disorders, improving relationships, coping strategies, and what to do to truly help the eating disorder sufferer. Initial interview is requested.

Treatment Model: Therapy is a powerful way to experience yourself, your life, and the world from the outside-in. As a therapist, my goal is not to change you but to enhance and strengthen the person you already are. The type of therapy I offer is truly tailored to who you are and what you need. In addition to being in private practice, I am the Clinical Director of La Ventana Eating Disorder Treatment Program in San Jose, CA, offering Day Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Programs. In providing eating disorder treatment, there are few essential beliefs I have: 1) You don't have to want to recover in order to get help or seek treatment. Definitions of what "recovery" looks like vary from person to person. 2) If someone wants to fully recover from an eating disorder, I believe it's possible. I believe that people struggling with eating disorders can fully recover by breaking the addictive cycle, learning healthier coping skills, and not only move on, but thrive! 3) And finally, recovery is worth it! I invite you to contact me or check out my website to see if the type of treatment I provide is a good fit for you.

Dr. Esalen treats Anorexia and Bulimia; males and females, adolescents and adults. She also works with Athletes, Compulsive Exercisers, Food Addiction, Binge Eating Disorder and Compulsive Overeating.

Treatment Model: The Lotus Collaborative believes it's important that we understand the unique individual you are: who you are, where you've been, what you're struggling with, what your strengths are, and where you'd like to go from here. We believe in meeting people where they are at and that you don't have to want to recover from an eating disorder in order to get help or seek treatment. Definitions of what "recovery" looks like vary from person to person and this is something we define together. Collaboratively, we can help you determine your recovery goals and develop a treatment plan specifically designed for you. You will not be pressured to give up your eating disorder but instead will be supported to achieve optimum physical and emotional health whatever stage of change you are in. If someone would like to fully recover from an eating disorder, we believe it's possible by breaking the addictive cycle, learning healthier coping skills, and not only move on… but thrive! There are many people, including some of your treatment staff, who have found peace in recovery and now fully enjoy their lives, eating disorder free.
