PERSONAL LIFE COACH: Do you feel out of balance? Not enough time to do what you want to? Unhappy in your career or your relationships? Maybe a life coach is what you need. Coaching is not therapy. I, as your coach will be by your side to support, cheer and motivate you. I will hold you accountable to your goals, so that your dreams are realized. I am your sounding board for new and exciting projects in your life, and will be excited with you, without judgment. If you are ready to make small changes that will have a big impact, then call me for a consultation, and we will get started. Coaching is about action and forward movement. I believe that we all know deep inside what our dreams are, but it can be scary to take the steps to achieve them. I am there with you all the way.

Lora Sasiela, CSW

My treatment philosophy involves creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment in which to begin the process of healing. The work focuses on one's relationship with food and body. I use cognitive-behavioral techniques (i.e., food-mood diaries; bibliotherapy; relaxation techniques; journaling; identifying hunger and satiation; etc.) to address and reduce eating disorder symptoms. Simultaneously we will explore the underlying issues (i.e., psychological; cultural; familial; interpersonal; etc.) which initially led to the creation of, and currently maintain the symptoms. Through this two-pronged approach symptom reduction occurs and healthier coping skills are developed. An increase in self-awareness and understanding leads to self-acceptance, self-love, and self-care. Referrals to and collaboration with physicians, psychiatrists, and/or nutritionists are available.

Free Treatment for Anorexia and Bulimia!In order to find the most effective treatment for anorexia and bulimia, we are offering free treatment for individuals who suffer from these disorders(all information is kept confidential!). Both treatment studies are also being conducted in California, Minnesota, North Dakota and Pennsylvania. For bulimia, we are offering treatment in the form of therapy and medication(optional).

We also offer fluoxetine (prozac)to those patients who would like to take medication. In either group, participants would be seen by both a therapist and a psychiatrist. Everything is free!! For more information please call Jaime at 914-997-4395.

The free treatment for anorexia involves taking prozac, along with nutritional supplements (vitamins), and seeing a psychiatrist. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the tryptophan group, or non-tryptophan group. Tryptophan is an amino acid that helps the efficacy of prozac. Patients would be taking vitamins and prozac daily, along with either hot chocolate or jello (your choice), which may or may not have tryptophan mixed in. Participants would also receive a $200 gratuity fee for participation. Everything is free!! For more information, please call Stephanie at 914-997-5927.

Sharon Taub, MSW, CSW

Through the connection made in the therapeutic relationship, the eating disordered patient is able to connect with the self. Through the integration of body, mind, and spirit the sense of self becomes whole again. It is this wholeness that provides the strength to heal in a culture that strives to take our sense of selves away. With postgraduate training at the Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia, I have come to specialize in the treatment of all types of eating disorders in women, men, and adolescents. I use psychodynamic, experiential, and cognitive behavioral techniques. I like to work as a team with nutritionists, physicians, and psychiatrists to treat the whole person. I provide individual, family, and group counseling. I also have a background in drug and alcohol treatment.
