Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Ocala, FL.

I offer Cognitive Behavior Therapy with an emphasis on self-esteem and confidence building when working with clients suffering from an eating disorder. There are normally many control issues associated with eating disorders and learning how to manage these control issues will be important for recovery. Eating Disorders can also be a form of addiction that needs to be addressed and worked through.

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.

Eating disorders and disordered eating reflect a deeper hunger of the soul. The journey toward a healthy relationship with self and food is best undertaken with a team approach that includes a mental health counselor, nutritionist, medical personnel and group support. Cor Counseling will assist you in forming a treatment team if one is not already in place. Mental health counseling will include bringing to light false beliefs about self and body; assessing relational patterns; developing realistic, healthy and life-giving attitudes toward self, others and life.

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.
