Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Lake Worth, FL.

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.

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.

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.
