Wendy, the organization I work for has lists of support groups, and one is an eating disorders group in Danville. They may have a listing on Craigslist. Often you can meet people in these groups that have had success with a therapist, or perhaps the facilitator is a therapist that can give referrals (sometimes they won't treat someone clinically when they also have them in a support group).

If you can't find the information on your own and are interested, just respond to this and I can look the support group information up for you tomorrow from work.

Good luck!

Hi Sharon, if you could provide more information that would be helpful. Thank you.

Wendy, here you go:

Web Link

I know this violates terms of use, but I can't get the hyperlink to change for some reason.

The group meets monthly in San Ramon, and the facilitator is a woman, last name is Clarkson. I searched under eating disorders support groups contra costa to find it (in case you have to search on your own if the link is removed).

Good luck!

I don't know a therapist but you should start with Marcia Yamashiro 686-9316. She is a nutritionalist in Concord who specializes in eating disorders. She really works well with the kids and she comes highly recommended. I am sure she also has a very good working relationship with therapists in the area and can give some good recommendations.
