Eating Disorders
Sumer Statler Aeed
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.

Eating Disorders
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.

Eating Disorders
Katie Steinert
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Eating disorders arise from a combination of psychological, biological, interpersonal, and cultural factors. Let's collaborate to explore how these factors may be keeping you stuck in your eating disorder.
A team approach to eating disorder treatment has been proven most effective - this includes engagement in nutrition counseling, psychiatric services (if needed), medical monitoring, and therapy simultaneously. Part of my role is to help you set up this treatment team, if not already established. In line with best practices, I prioritize a team approach to treatment and prefer to collaborate with other members of your treatment team in order to ensure that you are receiving the best care possible.
