Eating disorders typically involve a combination of psychological and nutritional counseling, along with medical and psychiatric monitoring. It is imperative that the therapist involved in treatment specializes in this population since experience working with eating disorder is not only ethical in the treatment of this disorder but also leads to a better prognosis. Currently we do not specialize in this treatment but can refer you to facilities that do.

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 can control your life. Whether it's eating, or not eating....binging and purging, they are all a form of control, stemming usually from feeling out of control growing up. In our society, the focus on weight and how you look, and what size you wear, often are the source of distorted body image...body dysmorphia.

I have an extensive background working with people who struggle with eating disorders and I understand that, in the end, an eating disorder has very little to do with food.
