Eating Disorder Center of California: Day Treatment and Outpatient Program
The Day Treatment and Intensive Outpatient Programs may serve many functions. It may serve as a stand-alone facility for clients that may need this level of care for recovery. It may serve as a transition option related to the Monte Nido Residential Treatment Program or other inpatient facilities. In addition, it may serve as a holding environment for those clients waiting to get into Monte Nido. Many of our staff have worked, or are currently working at Monte Nido and have been trained in the philosophy and techniques developed by Carolyn Costin, M.F.T. We are a small and intimate group with a maximum capacity of 10 clients.
We are located in a beautiful, guarded, modern office structure in Brentwood, California. Privacy and confidentiality are of the utmost importance. Since our clients spend the majority of the day in the facility, a semi-private outside atrium is attached to the office structure, where clients can relax during their break times. Local restaurants, except when clients dine out, cater food. All meals are eaten with staff in accordance with level criteria. Bathroom visits are staff supervised until this is deemed unnecessary. Step down from the day treatment level of care may entail the Intensive Outpatient Program. Step down options are determined on an individual basis by the treatment team. Website:

RainRock Residential Treatment Center for Women - A Monte Nido Affiliate
Due to the success of the Monte Nido Treatment Program in Malibu, California and the limited number of clients we can accept compared to those seeking our services, we have expanded by partnering with a former staff member, Annie Laughlin, and opened RainRock, a Monte Nido Affiliate. This new facility is situated outside of Eugene Oregon, along the McKenzie River on 3.5 acres of lush lawn, gardens and riverfront. RainRock lives up to its name evoking the healing properties of both earth and water combined. The secluded park-like setting is private yet expansive with abundant manicured grounds and the constant energy and flow of the river. The combination of Carolyn Costin’s 30 years of eating disorder experience and the uniqueness of this property promises the clients a rare opportunity to deal with and find recovery from these very difficult disorders.

Outpatient Services at Community Counseling for Individuals and Families
Community Counseling is a unique outpatient eating disorder program. The outpatient eating disorder specialists, many of whom have recovered from eating disorders themselves, offer both individual, family, and group therapy. You will take an active role in your own treatment plan and will not simply be prescribed a standard treatment formula to follow. With your help, Community Counseling will evaluate your needs and implement an individual program for you which consists of therapy, nutrition, exercise, and behavior modification. You will learn how to restore your metabolism and how to control your weight in a healthy way, which Community Counseling knows is important to you. Additionally, you will learn about the underlying stresses and problems of life that have helped cause or contribute to your turning to starving, binging, or purging as a means to cope. The staff works with you as part of the treatment team. Community Counseling recognizes you have a unique situation and needs. They can help set you up with a dietician, doctor and/or a psychiatrist.
Is Community Counseling Right For You? The first step is the hardest to take. Community Counseling asks you simply to take the time to call and find out more about their services. They can answer any of your questions, evaluate your needs, help you with financial arrangements including checking your insurance coverage and most importantly, you will get a feel for our philosophy and our staff. Community Counseling has offices in Agoura Hills, Malibu, West Los Angeles, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Beverly Hills and Santa Barbara.
