You have no idea how much it means to us that you have been with us each step of the way. You are quite something. Your knowledge powerful, and compassion heartfelt. WOW. Keep us in your prayers!"

"The
change in my daughter has been breath-taking ….I see her taking
charge of her life (not always as I would) and I LOVE seeing her
really grow. It's amazing. You were right in the beginning…. that
this would be a healing journey for both of us. Thank you so
much!!!!”

So, C's Dad, despite all of his initial resistance to her treatment,
has dubbed you a "Rock Star therapist" … we all happily agree!

Just want you to know that I recently went with a friend of mine and
her anorexic daughter to make an introduction to a local therapist;
it only took about 10 seconds before I came to realize just how
lucky I was to not only to have found you, but also that you took
such good care of us all. Thanks Abbie!

Abigail,
thank you so much for your great
website. My daughter
has suffered
from an ED for the past 6 years. Your
site has given me new hope and
a sense of getting my power back as a
parent. Though we still struggle with
it, I now feel as though I am looking at
this from an entirely new perspective
for the first time. …….A.R.

You are by far the most fantastic, real,
superior, loyal, dedicated, instinctive
therapist I could ever have wished to
work with...and you are so very very
real and humble in spite of your
impressive accomplishments. I haven't a
clue as to how to end this email.
"Warmly" doesn't work.
With love, G.J.

Psychotherapy via phone
“I’ve had several therapists in the past, and
none of those experiences have produced
any real results – let alone make me
think more deeply about the underlying
reasons behind my behaviors. Even though
our sessions have been purely by
telephone, I am already encouraged by
how fast I feel I am getting to the root
of my issues.
Our work together comes without judgment,
without pressure and without fear, and
for the first time I feel comfortable
being entirely honest about my problems.
This ability to be completely truthful
is what has held me back in the past,
and is what is allowing me to move
forward now.
Many thanks.”

About Picky Eating Interventions
Hi Abbie!
I had a moment and wanted to update you
a bit on my son Thomas. I
contacted an Anat Baniel practitioner
here in
Florida
and we traveled 2 hours and visited her
one Friday morning. Thomas had
only a one hour visit with her and I did
witness some minor "progress"! I
was extremely pleased. He tried to
taste a strawberry. That was huge
for him. He was able to put it to
his mouth, touch it to his lips, and
then licked it. That is something
he would NEVER have done previous.
Then, he tried ice cream! He NEVER
EVER wanted nor was he EVER interested
in ice cream. He asked my husband
one night if he could try it and he did!
Granted we wish it was a piece of meat
he had tried but it is progress.
He has made a few other minor advances.
