Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Southold, NY.

My approach to eating disorders is to help with the insight. In order to have long-term success over an eating disorder, a person may not only be in a behavioral group/program, but also receive insight-oriented psychotherapy. This will allow the person to have a deep understanding of the meanings of food, their body, and many more factors that contribute to what can often be a life-long struggle. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

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.

Eating disorders reflect a disordered approach to our own nourishment. In my practice I have found that this disorder develops as an early coping strategy to help deal with a disorder in the family system. In our work together we will untangle the contributing factors and develop a more supportive vision and approach to getting what you need in your life. Concurrently, we will work holistically to insure that you get the nutrition of body, mind and spirit that is your birthright.

I work well with eating disorders when a person has already learned the basic skills, and is now seeking deeper insight-oriented therapy from someone knowledgeable about the special complexities eating disorders bring into a person's life. I am very interested in continuing to help people in these situations, so please don't hesitate to contact me.

An eating disorder is not a lifestyle choice. An eating disorder is a serious and often fatal illnesses that causes serious disturbances to a person’s eating behaviors, physical health, and relationships. Obsessions with food, body weight, and shape may also signal an eating disorder. The sooner someone struggling with this illness, or displaying behaviors and attitudes consistent with these disorders, can get connected to help, the better. Common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. As with any illness or psychological disorder, these problems will not go away on their own; without clinical support they often only escalate dangerously.

The book I wrote is called THE THIN BOOK and it is essentially the most a compilation of my most effective and successful hypnotherapy transcripts for weight management and weight loss. It has been translated into six languages and contains a CD in which I do several of the trances from the book. I also use guided energy and psychotherapy techniques such as ego-building with my eating disorder clients.

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.
