Leah Donatelli
Therapist, LCMHCA, NCC
Eating disorders are a complex diagnosis that comes to fruition through cultural pressures, attachment wounds, nervous system dysregulation and many other factors. In my work with eating disorders, the aim is first and foremost to reclaim a trusting relationship with your body and understand how the eating disorder has served and helped you cope with unhealthy environments and challenges. Eating disorder recovery is a full recovery of you as a human and what you need and desire to survive and thrive in your place in this world. It is a hard but worth it process of self reclamation and liberation from unsustainable ideals into full body liberation for the authentic you. My approach to eating disorder recovery is aligned with the Center for Body Trust.

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.
