Eating Disorders therapists in Pinson, Alabama AL
Eating Disorders
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
In treating eating disorders, I adopt an integrative approach that combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with psychodynamic therapy to address the multifaceted nature of these conditions. CBT serves as a cornerstone, focusing on the identification and modification of maladaptive thoughts and behaviors related to food, body image, and weight. Through structured sessions and homework assignments, I work collaboratively with clients to challenge distorted beliefs and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Concurrently, I integrate psychodynamic therapy to explore the underlying emotional and relational factors contributing to the eating disorder.

I work with clients to find root causes of their eating disorders and help them get better. I’m specializing in eating disorders currently and am seeing fantastic results with using RTT Rapid Transformation Therapy for eating disorders. It can lead to greater appetite around meal time, increased coping skills and feeling less anxious about food.

Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
I help people create flexibility and self-compassion as they heal from their negative relationship with their body and move away from diet culture. My goal is for clients to progress out of the strict, perfectionistic, and harsh rule-based mindset to a place where they can live a more full, empowered, and joyous life.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in eating disorders, my treatment approach is comprehensive and compassionate, focusing on addressing the complex psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of these disorders. I utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and family-based treatment (FBT) to help individuals develop a healthier relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Through individual and group therapy sessions, I assist clients in identifying and challenging disordered thoughts and behaviors, while also addressing underlying emotional issues and past traumas that may contribute to the development of an eating disorder. Collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team, including physicians and dietitians, I aim to provide comprehensive care and support tailored to each individual's needs. My goal is to empower clients to overcome their eating disorders, restore their physical and emotional well-being, and cultivate a fulfilling life beyond the confines of their illness.
