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.

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.

Eating Disorders
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Finding peace with your body and food is a true struggle in the times and culture we inhabit. Whether you are struggling with full-on eating disorders such as anorexia, binge eating disorder (BED), or bulimia, or have a hard time finding a connection to your body and eating, there are tools and support for you. We have multiple resources including cognitive, trauma-based, somatic, and experiential therapies to begin the path of creating and walking in a loving healthy relationship with food and with your body. There are no one-size-fits-all approaches as eating disorders are most often the symptom rather than the root. Changing behaviors allow us to begin to see the power of 'embodiment' and how truly free and powerful you are to become......yourself.

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.
