Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Boca Raton, FL.

I have an extensive background working with people who struggle with eating disorders and I understand that, in the end, an eating disorder has very little to do with food. I have found in my work that it's usually a coping mechanism that helps a person to feel a better sense of control in his or her life, when things feel out of control. Once we get to the core of the issue together and understand the reasons why it began, we build insight and perspective. Then we make a place to replace the unhealthy coping patterns with DBT skills that empower a person to reclaim their life and their happiness.

Through therapy, my approach involves addressing both the surface-level issues, such as food and eating behaviors, as well as the underlying issues that may contribute to them. These can include but are not limited to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, interpersonal relationship problems, self-harm, trauma, and substance use. My focus is on treating adults who are struggling with eating disorders and any co-occurring issues they may be experiencing. I utilize techniques that are based on current evidence-based research and practice.

Disordered eating is rooted in perfectionism and shame. Shame is a powerful, painful emotion and it makes sense why we try our best to avoid it, even if the measures we take to avoid it are at times destructive. However, you can learn healthy ways to deal with these feelings and problems that lead to more enjoyment out of life and a healthy mind and body. Healing starts with self-compassion, understanding your disorder, and taking steps to overcome the disorder and change your behavior. We'll focus on the underlying issues AND take actionable steps to change your behavior.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.
