Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Kitsilano, BC.

Eating disorders are often an expression of emotional distress and an unclear or negative sense of self. We explore the emotions and family patterns and relationships that might be contributing. Then we move from emotional understanding to action - we explore what is within the client's control and what is outside of their control - from there we determine in a concrete way the nature of the next steps.

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.

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.
