Very often, eating disorders result from a person's dissatisfaction with the appearance of his or her body. Based on my experience and on overwhelming research results, this dissatisfaction comes from society's messages, which we get from ads and celebrities, that certain body types (usually very thin) are beautiful and sexy. Unfortunately, most of us don't even realize that our perceptions have been so effectively manipulated in these ways. The idea that extremely thin bodies are desirable is handed down to us whether we want it or not. I have learned that people make much more sensible choices once they learn how they are being manipulated, and once they can make their own choices freely.

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.

My focus is on treating adults who are struggling with eating disorders and any co-occurring issues they may be experiencing.

I understand how difficult one's relationship with food can be. Sometimes we need education as well as an outlet for our emotions in order to avoid emotional eating or dangerous habits related to food. I can assist with body-image, irrational fears, improper eating or exercise habits and the emotional issues that relate to dysfunctional compulsions.

Licensed Psychotherapist

In 33431 - Nearby to Deerfield Beach.

Do you spend your days thinking about when and what you are going to eat or not eat? Do you fantasize about how much better life would be if you were a different size or weight? Do you have persistent feelings of emptiness that you try to fill with food? Do you feel guilty after overeating or eating the “wrong” foods? Do you turn to food when you are not hungry but instead, sad, lonely, or upset? In therapy we will look at the thoughts you have that are not helpful to you and trigger feelings of distress and of things being out of your control. We will then develop your own personal toolkit of coping strategies and rid you of guilt and shame. I am here to support you; please reach out.

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.

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. Contact kevin@kevinfleminphd.com or 877-606-6161 to learn more about this safe and effective alternative.

The use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy is used to help clients recognize the cycle in how their thinking feeling, and behavior are connected to the outcome/results. I use a technique from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People called the Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence to help them visualize and understand things that are outside of their control. Clients are actively involved in processing what they can or can’t do about the things in their Circle of Concern, which adds to their stress and trigger for their eating disorder.

Eating disorders can control your life. Whether it's eating, or not eating....binging and purging, they are all a form of control, stemming usually from feeling out of control growing up. In our society, the focus on weight and how you look, and what size you wear, often are the source of distorted body image...body dysmorphia. Therapy can help you deal with and transform the way you see yourself, and heal childhood wounds that contribute to the beginning of every eating disorder.
