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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Depending on where you are in your recovery process, Somatic Experiencing can be a great supplement to ED recovery. If you've moved through the worst of it, you have a care team, you're eating well, and you're feeling stable- but you still have a hard time feeling at home in your body; you're still uncomfortable with feeling hunger/fullness signals or sometimes feeling ANYthing from your body, then Somatic Experiencing can be a great help.
Incrementally, step by step, we can start establishing a safe 'line of communication' between you and your body, so instead of feeling like a floating head, you can start feeling more of an integrated mind-body system.

Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Eating disorders are complex and often rooted in deeper emotional, relational, and cultural experiences. I take a nonjudgmental, whole-person approach that addresses both behaviors and the underlying patterns driving them. Together, we work toward a more peaceful relationship with food, body, and self, integrating evidence-based approaches with compassionate, individualized care.

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.
29 Years Experience
Online in Montgomery, AL
Montgomery is Alabama's state capital and a city with profound civil rights significance — the birthplace of the bus boycott, home to the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, and site of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice — and this history creates a distinctive clinical context in which racial identity, community trauma, and intergenerational resilience are active themes. The city has a majority Black population and a state government workforce, generating therapy demand that spans from the particular stresses of public service careers to the cultural and emotional dimensions of living in a place where the history of racism is physically present. Baptist Health and Jackson Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Alabama State University and Faulkner University contribute to the local training ecosystem, and the city's strong faith community means spiritually integrated therapy is an important part of the local offering.
