Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Asbury Park, NJ.

I have gotten free from a binge eating disorder and I know what is needed to help others break free. I use an individual approach and get to know client and what his or her triggers happen to be. I usually ask individuals to keep a food journal so he or she is more aware of their eating habits. Again, it's an individual approach so this may not be necessary.

Eating disorders and body image result from poor self esteem. I work with clients to find their core self and their inner strength. We build self esteem together so they can make better choices for their body rather than self destruct. We create a safe space within the client so they have their own back and they are no longer their own worst enemy. The client’s self is their greatest asset.

Eating disorders are a broad spectrum of “too much” behaviors. They can stem from always seeing that image of that potato chip and not being able to say “no”. Or they may be much more serious. Indeed in my 20 year experience, eating problems are not usually related to food, but are related to unresolved or suppressed emotions. Using advanced techniques, we aim for a personal and confidential release of those emotional weights, freeing you to make healthier and ultimately beneficial choices.

Disordered eating often has deep roots that therapy can help you get run touch with. The great thing about eating disorders is that they are completely treatable if you seek the help you need.

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.
