Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Bellaire, TX.

Eating disorders are usually a form of maladaptive coping. If you work with me on an eating disorder, you will need to simultaneously see a dietician to help with acquiring a deeper understanding of what is reasonable and helpful for your eating. My part as a psychologist is to help with blocks to following a sensible meal plan and help foster alternative ways to coping with stress, as well as dealing with the shame, guilt and depression that often accompanies these disorders. I will weigh clients regularly to monitor their progress, but the focus of our work will be the emotions that lead to the eating problem, and the emotions in the present that maintain it.

"It's not about the food." Therapist will provide support, guidance, and hold space to help client explore and identify the contributing factors that fuel ED thoughts and behaviors. Therapist and client will address issues related to unhealthy relationships with exercise, body image, etc. Identifying as well as processing through triggers, difficult to process through life experiences, and other contributing issues will also be of focus and importance.

You will encounter a sympathetic and judgment-free setting to treat your eating disorder throughout our sessions. We'll collaborate to create doable plans for changing our behaviors and outlook. We'll clear the path for enduring healing by recognizing and confronting negative thought patterns. I'll also provide assistance in overcoming the challenges of body image and self-esteem. Through our collaborative therapy partnership, you'll acquire the knowledge and self-assurance required to have a healthy connection with food and your body, eventually leading to long-term wellbeing.

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.
