    - Deb

  • “Working with Alli helped save my sanity and my relationship with my daughter, as we worked her way through her eating disorder and the myriad of challenges that brings. It’s near to impossible to face the chaos and work of having a child with an eating disorder without the intelligent support, up to date information, sense of humor, and intrinsic kindness that Alli offers. I encourage anyone who is seeking support to reach out to Alli and absorb all she has to offer.”

    - JD Ouellette

  • “I have had the pleasure of knowing and working collaboratively with Alli Spotts-De Lazzer for the past few years…While symptom containment from an eating disorder is always an important goal, the true magic lies in the healing and restoration of family bonds. I trust Alli's intuition, experience, and deep knowledge she brings to each session. Her insights and compassionate yet direct approach make her an invaluable clinician. I am incredibly grateful to have Alli as a trusted colleague and go-to resource for family therapy and parent coaching. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced eating disorder provider to support the entire family in recovery and healing.”

Q&As

  • Stop blaming yourself. You didn’t ”cause” this (science backs that!), and it’s not your fault that you didn’t see it earlier. We live in diet culture, which often camouflages an eating disorder. You’re “on it”

  • I do! Go to my resources section. All my free resources are there.

  • The Certified Eating Disorders Specialist (CEDS) designation is the only nationally recognized certification indicating competence in treating eating disorders. The “-C” means that I’m approved to oversee the professional development of CEDS applicants.

  • Let’s chat about whether coaching or therapy will be a better fit from the start—they’re different.

  • Absolutely! If you’re near Studio City, CA, come on in!

  • My coaching services are for caregivers only. If you are looking for support for your own eating disorder, please visit the Therapy page for more information on how we might be able to work together.
