Email: barbcox@charter.net

Treatment Model: I am a registered dietitian with training in the non-diet approach to eating disorders.  I am also trained to help with body image disorders. I have been working with eating disordered patients for 16 years.  I believe that the Intuitive Eating approach is best during recovery and afterwards.  I offer individual counseling, family counseling and group therapies.  Currently I have groups which concentrate on intuitive eating and body image problems.  I work with a team approach in mind, and help with referrals to psychotherapists and MDs.  It is important to be seen by an MD who understands complications which arise from eating disorders, to ensure adequate physical health during recovery.  I believe it is possible to recover from an eating disorder, while finding a healthy relationship with food and a comfortable natural body weight which is realistic.

The Center for Hope of the Sierras treats Anorexia and Bulimia; males and females, adolescents (ages 16 and up) and adults

Payment options: Cash/Check, Insurance, Credit Cards

The Center for Hope of the Sierras is a residential center for the treatment of anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders. The Center's philosophy is that in order to achieve full recovery, patients must redefine life on terms which are of true value and meaning to them, rather than cultural pressures to pursue a body-size and shape that makes no biological sense. It is the belief of The Center that eating disorder patients are unique, creative, caring and sensitive individuals who have lost a connection with their true inner spirit. To this end, the Center offers treatment emphasizing a therapeutic alliance and opportunities for self-exploration; esteem will naturally begin to develop as the self has begun to emerge. Upon admission, each individual is given a comprehensive evaluation that allows the patient and staff to develop an individualized treatment regime that meets their psychological and physical needs. The internist will provide a complete physical exam for all patients upon admission, and will provide ongoing medical care throughout the patient’s stay. Recognizing the importance of reintegration and reunification with family, the Center offers individual as well as multi-family therapy. Family weekend visits and conference call therapy for long-distance families are encouraged to improve family dynamics and help them gain a sense of understanding of the illness. Throughout their stay, the individual needs of each patient are continually reassessed. The Center emphasizes the need to separate the patient from the disease, and to anticipate the influence of the eating disorder on the patient's feelings, thoughts, and behavior; working together with the patient to combat the illness through our vast array of treatment options.

I utilize a variety of strategies drawn from the models listed above to assist each patient in understanding the nature of their eating disorder, how it helps and hinders them in pursuing their life goals, and what he or she will need to be willing to do in order to overcome it. In addition to providing therapy to anorexic, bulimic and binge eating individuals. I provide pre-surgical psychological evaluations, and pre-and post-surgical counseling, to individuals seeking weight loss surgery.
