Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Chicago, IL.

Our approach to clients with eating disorders is to help clients with their relationship with food by trying to improve their eating habits. We would hope that patients would benefit from replacing their current habits with healthy ones. I would try to help create problem-solving skills as well as finding the root of those habits. This can include connecting any thought patterns or emotional issues with eating disorders behaviors.

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.

I work with people trying to lose weight from compulsive overeating such as binge eating. I do not work with anorexia or bulimia however. Many times the overeating is grouped along with other addictions such as drinking, smoking, shopping, gambling or drugs. Please don't hesitate to ask how I might be helpful in this area. I approach this work from a behavioral and cognitive viewpoint - but also work to get to the underlying reasons for the overeating to help maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Eating disorders often reflect deeper emotional pain and can feel isolating and overwhelming. I offer a nonjudgmental and supportive space where we can explore the root causes of disordered eating, build a healthier relationship with food and body, and restore a sense of self-worth. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s work toward self-compassion and lasting recovery.
