About Melissa
Expertise
I can answer questions pertaining to bulimia and anorexia. I will provide information about treatment options, specific treatment centers, and resources that may help you find a treatment center. I am not affiliated with any of the resources I may provide. It’s strictly my opinion based on my experiences. I will NOT answer questions on how to become anorexic or bulimic or how to lose in an unhealthy matter. I am not a doctor or psychologist. I can NOT answer medical questions.

Experience
I have recovered from a 6 year struggle with both anorexia and bulimia. Right after I graduated High School, I was in and out of treatment for several months. It was an exhausting, intense time of my life but I learned so much from it. I was once in your shoes—and I just want to share with you what I have learned since then. I never thought I could recover. I couldn’t picture myself in 7 years having a normal relationship with food. Don’t give up. I hope to help show you that recovery is attainable and your worth it.

Education/Credentials
I am attending college for an unrelated degree.

Anorexia/Eating Disorders - My Sister is Battling Anerexia


Expert: Melissa - 7/14/2008

Question
My sister is 50 years old and has battled anorexia her whole life. Do you know a good doctor/therapist in the orange county California area that could help?

Answer
As a matter of fact, I do. I live in orange county and can recommend some great people.
My first and foremost recommendation would be Rita Lehmann. You can find her contact information and bio here:

I also know a great dietician who specializes in eating disorders. She is thought highly of by her patients and works with Rita, whom also thinks great things about her.
Her bio is found here:

and contact information here:

Good luck and let me know if you need anymore recommendations.
