Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Ladysmith, BC.

Eating Disorders can impact someone as negatively as any type of serious addiction. However, unlike addiction treatment plans, food must continue to play a role in your life. My basic goal is to stop further development of any eating problem you may have, and assist you in returning to a healthy lifestyle. The most successful focus is on harm reduction as an overall principle in addressing eating disorders, with the end goal of moving towards complete recovery. I also typically want to establish effective coping skills to reduce the possibility of relapse and sustain the progress you make in therapy.

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.

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.
