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.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you a parent struggling to support your child with an eating disorder? With 25 years of experience working with this population and having personally recovered from an eating disorder for 32 years, I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to our work together.
Supporting a child with an eating disorder can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. Parents often feel helpless, anxious, and uncertain about how to best support their child. You may be constantly worried about your child's health, struggling to communicate effectively, and dealing with the emotional toll it takes on the entire family.
It’s crucial for parents to have guidance and support during this challenging time. I provide a compassionate and understanding environment where you can share your fears and frustrations, gain valuable insights, and learn effective strategies to help your child while also taking care of your own emotional well-being.
My goal is to help you navigate these complex feelings and situations, offering practical advice and emotional support. It’s important for parents to have this support, not only to better assist their child but also to manage the stress and emotional impact it has on the family.
Together, we’ll develop a personalized plan that empowers you and your child to navigate this journey with strength and resilience. Reach out today to start your journey towards healing and empowerment for both you and your child.

Eating Disorders
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.

Eating Disorders
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
In treating eating disorders, I adopt an integrative approach that combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with psychodynamic therapy to address the multifaceted nature of these conditions. CBT serves as a cornerstone, focusing on the identification and modification of maladaptive thoughts and behaviors related to food, body image, and weight. Through structured sessions and homework assignments, I work collaboratively with clients to challenge distorted beliefs and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Concurrently, I integrate psychodynamic therapy to explore the underlying emotional and relational factors contributing to the eating disorder.
