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.

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.

Eating Disorders
Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
Eating disorders are among the most complex and serious mental health conditions, and they deserve specialized, compassionate care. I work with adolescents, young adults, and their families navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and related concerns. My approach is evidence-based and weight-inclusive, with a focus on healing the relationship with food and body rather than just managing symptoms. I have a specialty area in athletes and am well-aware of aesthetic and performance concerns among athletes and performing artists. I also offer Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for parents supporting a teen in recovery. I believe full recovery is possible, and have seen it in many of my clients over the past 10+ years!

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.
