Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Blackfalds, AB.

At Wellness Centered Counselling we often use cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat the mental and emotional elements of an eating disorder. This type of therapy is done to change how you think and feel about food, eating, and body image. It is also done to help correct poor eating habits and prevent relapse.

My approach to treating eating disorders is compassionate, holistic, and strengths-based. I focus on helping clients build a healthier relationship with food, their body, and themselves by addressing underlying emotional patterns, unhelpful thoughts, and coping strategies. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, I support clients in developing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. We also work on building life and relational skills, improving communication, and reconnecting with personal values to foster lasting recovery and well-being.

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.

If your relationship with food has taken over, whether that is compulsive or emotional eating or a genuine struggle to lose weight, I can help you understand it and change it. One honest note so you can choose well. Because I am in private practice and am neither a physician nor part of a medical facility, I do not treat anorexia or bulimia, which need medical oversight. For food addiction and weight concerns, I have been a psychologist since 1986. I am based in Calgary and see clients across Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick by secure video.

When food, eating, or the way you feel about your body starts taking up too much space in your life, it can be confusing and exhausting. You may find yourself caught in cycles of restriction, overeating, guilt, shame, body checking or constantly thinking about what you should and shouldn't eat. Over time this can effect your confidence, relationships, energy, and ability to simply enjoy life. My approach is compassionate, practical and focused on understanding the person behind the struggle, without judging you or reducing you to a behaviour or compulsion. You deserve a life where your thoughts aren't constantly consumed by food, weight or appearance.
