MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are complex mental health conditions characterized by unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and weight. Traditional treatments often involve psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medical management. However, hypnotherapy has emerged as a complementary therapeutic approach that may help individuals address the underlying psychological factors contributing to disordered eating.

Erin Anderson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, MSW, LCSW
I provide compassionate, individualized support for individuals struggling with eating disorders. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their relationship with food and body image while working toward healing. Using a strengths-based and holistic approach, I help clients identify underlying emotional patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop healthier eating habits and coping strategies. By incorporating mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and self-compassion practices, I guide individuals toward a more balanced and positive connection with food, their bodies, and themselves. My goal is to empower clients to foster long-term well-being and a renewed sense of self-worth.

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection.

Brittany Statler, Intuitive Wellness Therapy Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Headline: From Survival to Sovereignty: Reclaiming Your Body and Your Life
The Cycle Ends Here
Eating disorders often start as a way to find safety or control, but eventually, they become the very thing that keeps you trapped. If you are tired of the mental gymnastics of food-tracking and the exhausting disconnect from your own body, there is another way. I specialize in helping individuals move beyond "just getting by" and into a state of true embodied recovery.
My Integrated Approach: Mind & Body
I don’t just treat your thoughts; I work with your whole self. By combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Somatic (Body-Based) Approaches, we address recovery from two essential angles:
Mind (ACT): We work on psychological flexibility—learning how to let go of the "tug-of-war" with critical thoughts and rigid rules. Instead of fighting your emotions, we identify your core values and use them as a compass to take bold, life-affirming actions.
Body (Somatic): Eating disorders thrive on a disconnect from physical sensations. We use somatic tools to gently rebuild body trust. By learning to listen to your nervous system rather than your eating disorder or past messages so you can learn to safely connect to your body to reach true recovery.

Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
It is incredibly brave to start the process of recovery. Whether you identify as having an eating disorder, disordered eating, recovered in the past, or just know that your relationship with food and movement is not what you want, you deserve support! I have been focused on treating individuals with eating disorders for more than 10 years, including publishing my dissertation research on eating disorder prevention.
I understand that everyone's recovery journey is different, and the level of support you need will be individualized. The foundation of my work is in CBT and DBT principles, but that does not mean that all of my patients receive a strict CBT approach. The first few therapy session are dedicated to coming up with your goals and identifying what treatment styles work best for you. If you have tried treatment in the past and something didn't "click" for you, you are not alone. You are the expert on what works well for you!
I also understand that eating disorders are almost never a stand-alone condition, and that chronic anxiety, PTSD, mood challenges, and chronic illness complicate the picture of recovery. It is my goal to develop a holistic view of what you want your life to look like in recovery, and develop skills to work toward that vision.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
When working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, I recognize that recovery often requires a multidisciplinary team approach to address the complex and multifaceted nature of their challenges. In therapy, I integrate a variety of techniques, including psychodynamic therapy to explore underlying emotional issues and unresolved conflicts that may contribute to the disorder. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors related to food and body image. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another key tool that I employ to assist clients in developing emotional regulation and coping skills. My goal is to empower individuals by helping them reclaim their lives, offering them hope and practical strategies for recovery. By combining these evidence-based approaches within a supportive framework, I strive to provide clients with the tools they need to step into recovery with confidence and resilience.

Aurora is one of Illinois's largest cities and serves as a western anchor of the Chicago metro — with a large Latino population (predominantly Mexican American), a growing South Asian community, and a blue-collar manufacturing heritage that shapes its therapy culture. The city's historically Hispanic west side has distinct mental health needs rooted in immigration stress, economic precarity, and bilingual family dynamics, while the more affluent east side neighborhoods generate demand for therapists working with professional stress and relationship concerns. Rush Copley Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that serves Aurora and the broader Fox Valley corridor. Aurora's affordability relative to Chicago has made it a destination for families seeking more space, and therapists frequently encounter the adjustment challenges and social isolation that come with suburban relocation.
