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
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients struggling with disordered eating, body image concerns, perfectionism, and a difficult relationship with food or control. In therapy, we work on understanding the emotional patterns, self-criticism, and unrealistic standards that may be contributing to these struggles. My goal is to support clients in developing healthier coping skills, a more balanced relationship with food and body image, and greater self-compassion.

Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Eating disorders can feel like a constant battle—with food, your body, and yourself—especially as an endurance athlete. Whether it’s restriction, bingeing, purging, orthorexia tied to “fueling” for training, or the cycle of guilt, shame, and compensation that follows, these struggles often rob the joy from running and daily life. The pressure to look a certain way, perform at a high level, or control one area when everything else feels uncertain can make recovery feel overwhelming.
In our work together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to understand the roots of your relationship with food and your body. Using CBT to challenge disordered thoughts, DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and ACT to reconnect with your values beyond performance or appearance, we focus on practical, sustainable steps that honor your life as a runner.
Many clients experience meaningful progress such as:
Rebuilding trust with hunger and fullness cues (using tools like the Hunger Scale).
Reducing binge-restrict cycles and food guilt.
Developing a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their body and fuel.
Improving energy, training consistency, and overall well-being.
Moving from rules and fear toward freedom and intuitive eating.
I regularly share free downloadable resources—including the Hunger Scale tool for tuning into satiety and hunger cues—that we can personalize and use between sessions.
You deserve to nourish your body without fear or shame—the same strong body that carries you through long miles and tough efforts. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s work together so you can finish stronger, both on the trails and in your relationship with food and yourself.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.
