My name is Dr. Alexandra Shimer and I am a psychotherapist with a private practice in Beverly Hills. I provide psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, couples and families presenting with a variety of symptoms and diagnoses.
Eating Disorders including Anorexia, Bulimia, Emotional/Compulsive Eating, Exercise Addiction and Body Dysmorphia, Depression, Anxiety, Impulse Control Issues, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Problems with Motivation, Self Esteem Issues, Social Phobia, Substance Abuse and Addiction, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Sexual Compulsivity, Panic Disorder, Phase of Life Issues and Trouble with Relationships.Those experiencing symptoms such as these can find relief through the therapist/client relationship.
Through my training and experience I have developed an integrated approach which uses the most effective elements of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy. I focus on the client's unprocessed, unconscious thoughts and emotions to provide insight and self-knowledge, while also providing coping skills for symptom relief.

I specialize in the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, emotional and compulsive eating, exercise addiction, and overall eating disordered behavior and body image issues.
You do not need to have a diagnosed eating disorder to benefit from professional therapy.
Eating disorders are frequently multifaceted, and I have found that a team approach yields the highest rate of success.
After a preliminary assessment, I will generally consider referrals to dietitians, psychiatrists, medical doctors and support groups as needed.

Alex can grasp the nuances of a difficult case, she can get involved in great details but also knows how to keep it simple and not get stuck in dead ends with her clients.
With an excellent combination of skill, firmness and empathy, Alex helps each client contact and strengthen his or her healthy self.
