Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Danielson, CT.

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.

Today, eating disorders are spread throughout classes, races, ethnicity, and subcultures. Eating disorders are determined by multiple factors: individual personality traits, physiological predispositions, family patterns, critical experiences such as loss or abuse, the sociocultural influences of gender roles, and the meanings ascribed to food, weight, and appearance as well as the addictive quality of modern day foods. Family & individual therapy can help the whole family system, relieving the blame, self-degradation, & confusion for the individual and gives the family clear guidelines of how to help. The goal is to use food as nourishment & develop satisfying connections with loved ones

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.

Eating disorders are often rooted in how one copes with anxiety or past issues. Learn more about the roots of the cause and the symptoms which lead to eating disorders can be alleviated. On top of this, I use chain analysis to help you pinpoint what sets you off, your thought processes, body sensations which once identified, can then be addressed one by one until the problem is manageable.

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.
