Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Winter Garden, FL.

We recognize that not all food issues are the same and many people struggle with disordered eating. This can come in the form of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, extreme restrictive eating, calorie and fat counting obsessions, and others. If you feel that you are struggling to accept your body the way that it is or feel that you may have a problem when it comes to food, I am here to help.

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.

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.

Disordered eating is rooted in perfectionism and shame. Shame is a powerful, painful emotion and it makes sense why we try our best to avoid it, even if the measures we take to avoid it are at times destructive. However, you can learn healthy ways to deal with these feelings and problems that lead to more enjoyment out of life and a healthy mind and body. Healing starts with self-compassion, understanding your disorder, and taking steps to overcome the disorder and change your behavior. We'll focus on the underlying issues AND take actionable steps to change your behavior.

Therapy can help in the fight against eating disorders such as Anorexia and Bulimia. With social pressures growing rapidly in our culture it is more and more common for people to develop an eating disorder. You are not alone, and there is help. Many types of therapy are available and effective. I would be happy to discuss your situation with you and help you determine the best course of action. Also, it is important to know up front that weekly counseling may work for some people, but not everyone. If we decide something more involved is needed I will help you find those services. Please contact me for more information or a complimentary phone consultation.
