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.

There has been a tendency to put all clients that suffer from eating disorders into the same category with the same interventions. For those that are emotionally based, a combination of interpersonal therapy, DBT, and addiction therapy, with a focus on nutrition and exercise has been effective. Any approach must be tailored to the individual and their circumstances and include compassionate accountability.

Eating disorders are complex and vary widely from not eating to binge eating and also include compulsive eating.

Sometimes couple or family therapy can be included in the treatment plan. The goal is to help you effectively manage your eating to achieve optimal physical and mental health.

Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication.

I am trained as a Nutrition Therapist and use this in most of my work. Nutrition is such an important part of feeling good. I use a very holistic approach to helping people improve their relationship with food. Often eating disorders show up as a symptom of family dysfunction so it is important to look at the family system and beliefs to help clients find healthier ways to engage with food.
