Eating Disorders
Nancy Witter
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHCS
I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. I understand that your relationship with food and your body can be deeply connected to emotions, experiences, and the way you see yourself. Therapy provides a safe, compassionate space to explore these concerns, develop healthier coping strategies, build self-compassion, and work toward a more peaceful relationship with food and your body. My goal is to support you with understanding, encouragement, and respect as you move toward healing and a stronger sense of self.

Eating Disorders
Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work closely with several national eating disorder clinics for the treatment of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, and other feeding and eating disorders. We will review the plan with your healthcare team and create healthier associations with food and eating habits. Eating disorders are complex and require a clinician specifically trained in the treatment of them.

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
Heather Champion
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Court Mediator
Disordered eating is often driven by the same set of difficult emotions that drive substance use and many of the disordered self-harm that we see with BPD. Unfortunately though, we all need to eat as this is part of staying alive. Disordered eating is one of the hardest things to work through because it is necessary for survival. Together, we can work to understand why the disordered eating exists and how to work with it to lead you to a happier and healthier place.
