This Dr.Cohen is an excellent therapist who has alot of experience with eating disorders. He has hours in Nyack too, I think. He uses cognitive therapy and has a lot of success.

What is good is that the schools are more aware of eating disorders than they were several years ago. they are trying to speak to the girls about eating healthy and taking care of themselves. For those girls with anorexia or bulemia, they are speaking with the girls and parents and trying to find apropriate nutritionists and therapists for them. While eating disorders are common in the United States even among goyim, the rate is higher among the orthodox because of the shidduch pressure.

If anyone who is reading this has an eating disorder or knows of someone who does have one, they should reach out for help and go to a therapist, because you deserve to live a long and healthy life. May noone know of this very scary disease. if anyone else knows of good therapists for eating disorders, please post it here.
