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.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which then leads to meaningful and lasting changes. That means we will use real experiences from your life - about disordered eating, or anything else - to help you make sense of and overcome the difficulties related to it.

Harney & Associates
Psychologist, PhD
We understand that eating disorders are deeply emotional disorders - food and body are the tip of the iceberg. We help clients understand the root of their disorder as well as the thoughts and actions that maintain a heartbreaking, difficult cycle of disordered eating and body dissatisfaction. We explore the benefits of recovery as well as process the loss of the eating disorder itself.

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.

Elizabeth Hammond
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
If your life has become a series of mental calculations and constant anxiety around food, I want you to know that recovery is more than just "eating better" or "eating more." It’s about reclaiming the mental space that the disorder has stolen from you. In our work together, we move beyond the symptoms to understand the function your eating disorder serves. Whether you’re struggling with restriction, binge eating, or chronic dieting, I provide a weight-neutral, compassionate space to help you stop surviving and start truly nourishing yourself—mind and body.
