Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Jersey City, NJ.

Recovery from an eating disorder doesn't end when treatment does. The post-treatment phase comes with its own challenges, and having ongoing support can make a real difference in staying well long-term. I work with individuals in the maintenance phase of eating disorder recovery, helping you build a healthier relationship with food & your body, strengthen your self-esteem, & develop coping strategies that hold up when things get hard. Using EMDR, CBT, DBT, & somatic approaches, we'll address the underlying emotional patterns & past experiences that fed the disorder in the first place. Please note that I work with individuals in recovery, not those actively in the throes of an eating disorder

Many individuals have eating disorders and turn a counselor to help. Chris has treated many eating disorder clients including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder. Those who suffer from an eating disorder can place rules on their food intake such as limiting intake or purging after the meal. Many times the eating disorder has other reasons and behaviors behind it such as anxiety or control issues. Chris uses cognitive behavior therapy to help clients identify triggers and look at their relationship with food. Often I work with medical doctors who prescribe medication and in combination with good psychotherapy can help lowering the symptoms.

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.
