Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Lake Worth, FL.

The use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy is used to help clients recognize the cycle in how their thinking feeling, and behavior are connected to the outcome/results. I use a technique from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People called the Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence to help them visualize and understand things that are outside of their control. Clients are actively involved in processing what they can or can’t do about the things in their Circle of Concern, which adds to their stress and trigger for their eating disorder.

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.

While I don’t specialize in eating disorders, I understand the ways that past trauma, perfectionism, control, and issues around worth and identity can impact our behaviors. Eating disorders, substance use, pornography addiction... the list could go on. We all go through pain, and we gravitate towards behaviors that promise control and relief from that pain. But, deep down, you probably know that long-term this story doesn’t end well. You probably need not only deep healing, but new strategies for coping with your present and building a hopeful future. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.
