Eating Disorders therapists in DeKalb, Illinois IL
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.
Jessica Beaston
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Eating disorders often stem from various triggers and can have severe consequences on the body. It's a deeply concerning issue that demands support from a therapist who understands its dangers and can gently guide individuals to explore the underlying causes behind their behavior. I can help by providing them a safe space to discuss these issues however they like with no judgment at all.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Finding peace with your body and food is a true struggle in the times and culture we inhabit. Whether you are struggling with full-on eating disorders such as anorexia, binge eating disorder (BED), or bulimia, or have a hard time finding a connection to your body and eating, there are tools and support for you. We have multiple resources including cognitive, trauma-based, somatic, and experiential therapies to begin the path of creating and walking in a loving healthy relationship with food and with your body. There are no one-size-fits-all approaches as eating disorders are most often the symptom rather than the root. Changing behaviors allow us to begin to see the power of 'embodiment' and how truly free and powerful you are to become......yourself.
