Dr. Weinstein is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who previously served as President of the New York Mental Health Association, Metro Chapter, and Co-Chair of the Academy of Eating Disorders Innovation and Technology Division. With more than 20 years of experience supporting teens, parents, and families through life’s toughest challenges, she created Bespoke Wellness Partners as a safe and empowering space for healing.
Her journey is personal. After struggling with anorexia and bulimia for over a decade, Dr. Weinstein understood how isolating and frustrating it can be to seek help and not find the right support. Out of this experience, she developed The Bespoke KARMA Method™, a structured roadmap built on foundational theories including polyvagal theory and transactional analysis. The method recognizes that healing is physical before it is psychological, drawing on the role of the vagus nerve in regulating safety, connection, and emotional well-being. Combined with evidence-based skills and a compassionate approach, this framework provides individuals and families with the tools they need to build confidence, independence, and lasting recovery.
As part of her doctoral work, Dr. Weinstein completed two original research studies. The first explored teenagers’ experiences in counseling, highlighting the importance of communication, safety, and support. The second examined the lived experiences of individuals who have lived with “anorexia nervosa” for over seven years, where advanced data analysis programs were used to identify patterns in language and treatment outcomes. Together, these studies reveal how language and communication play a central role in recovery and how evidence-based skills can help prevent treatment failure.
At Bespoke, we believe treatment should not only manage symptoms but also prevent treatment failure by focusing on empowerment, collaboration, and measurable growth. Our process begins with a detailed assessment, continues with the implementation of The Bespoke KARMA™ Method, The Bespoke KARMA Method™, and moves into a maintenance phase that prepares clients—especially teens and families—for independence beyond therapy.​
