Monte Nido® Eating Disorder Treatment Center
"If you get rid of the pain before you have answered its questions, you get rid of the self along with it."

Carl Jung
Created by recovered professionals to heal women suffering from Anorexia, Bulimia and Exercise Addiction.
Eating Disorder Treatment Center
Nestled in the foothills of Malibu on 2 acres of pine, oak, sycamore, and fruit trees, Monte Nido lives up to its name, "Mountain Nest". Surrounded by a state park with hiking trails that lead to the beach, Monte Nido is a secluded, gated estate equipped with a gym, Jacuzzi and a private bath and deck in each bedroom. Our home like atmosphere provides comfort in a unique setting where the challenges necessary for recovery take place. The Monte Nido program places a high priority on individualized plans and individual therapy for anorexia treatment, bulimia treatment, and exercise addiction, as provided by Carolyn Costin, LMFT and Community Counseling.
