Dr. Ellyn Herb, Ph.D. has been working as a therapist since 1983. She graduated from  Fielding Graduate University in 1986 and was an Associate Dean at John F. Kennedy University from 1990-1999 in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology. She designed and implemented the Eating Disorder certificate program at the Campbell campus, where she continues to  teach graduate psychology courses and  continuing education workshops.

 

Parent Support Groups

Having a child with an eating disorder is challenging.  Whether your child is under 18 or over, it's hard to know what will help and what might make the problem worse.  The isolation that families experience is also difficult.

Following the workshop, groups will be formed for parents/caregivers of individual with eating disorders.  In a safe and supportive environment, parents will have the opportunity to gain support and sympathy from others, learn new information that will help children recover, and find new ways for self-care.

If you are interested in joining a Parent Support Group, please contact Dr. Ellyn Herb, Ph.D. at 408-296-9600.

DATES FOR THE NEXT WORKSHOP WILL BE POSTED SOON.  STAY TUNED.
