Eating Disorders
Evolve Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Eating disorders are complex, neurobiological conditions. Often times what leads to the development of an eating disorder is not what maintains it. The eating disorder becomes a coping mechanism that serves various psychological functions. Treatment consists of understanding the function(s), identifying unmet needs, engaging in behavioral change, effectively managing emotions, and addressing unhelpful thoughts.

Eating Disorders
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Eating disorders are often misunderstood as being about food—but they’re rarely just about food. For many people, they’re tied to control, coping, identity, and the pressure of living in a culture that constantly sends messages about what bodies should look like and how they should be managed. These patterns don’t develop in a vacuum. They’re shaped by family dynamics, cultural expectations, systemic bias, and experiences of being scrutinized, objectified, or disconnected from your body. What starts as a way to cope can become something that feels hard to interrupt, even when it’s no longer working.
At Nour Counseling, we approach eating disorders with depth, care, and without judgment. We work with you to understand the function these patterns have served, while also actively building more sustainable ways to cope and relate to your body. This might include normalizing eating patterns, reducing behaviors, addressing underlying thoughts and beliefs, and reconnecting with your body’s cues in a way that feels safe. We also name and unpack the cultural and systemic factors—like diet culture, weight stigma, and dominant body ideals—that reinforce these struggles, so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is collaborative work focused on helping you move toward a more stable, respectful, and supported relationship with food and your body.

Eating Disorders
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in eating disorders, my treatment approach is comprehensive and compassionate, focusing on addressing the complex psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of these disorders. I utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and family-based treatment (FBT) to help individuals develop a healthier relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Through individual and group therapy sessions, I assist clients in identifying and challenging disordered thoughts and behaviors, while also addressing underlying emotional issues and past traumas that may contribute to the development of an eating disorder. Collaborating closely with a multidisciplinary team, including physicians and dietitians, I aim to provide comprehensive care and support tailored to each individual's needs. My goal is to empower clients to overcome their eating disorders, restore their physical and emotional well-being, and cultivate a fulfilling life beyond the confines of their illness.
