Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Haddam, CT.

For some people compulsive eating or dieting is just a way to get rid of bad feelings. The problem is that the bad feelings always come back. Compulsive and addictive behaviors - like obsessive and compulsive disorder, gambling, sexual addictions, eating disorders, cutting, etc. - can work very much like alcohol and substance abuse. They are ways of controlling strong emotional reactions of anxiety, anger, sadness, loneliness or guilt. I use 90-minute and 3-HOUR SESSIONS to identify and fully resolve the roots of your emotional reactions so that they no longer trigger the urge to self-medicate.

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.

My therapy approach is well suited to help you understand and ultimately alleviate your Eating Disorder. I will guide you to exprience your own insights about the nature of thought and how your thinking contributes to your experience of life, moment by moment. I also provide a variety of resources for you so that you feel supported while you go through the process.

Eating disorders often result from trauma or family related issues. I focus on your relationship with food and finding healthier ways to manage the stress in your life without turning to food as a way to do this. I trained specifically in eating disorders as I believe this is an area that requires a lot of education and training. I have also been working with the bariatric population for 16 years and help individuals with their weight loss journey.

My approach to eating disorders is to help with the insight. In order to have long-term success over an eating disorder, a person may not only be in a behavioral group/program, but also receive insight-oriented psychotherapy. This will allow the person to have a deep understanding of the meanings of food, their body, and many more factors that contribute to what can often be a life-long struggle. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
