Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Denville, NJ.

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.

I help clients with mild eating disorders that are not causing any medical complications. This might look like binge eating when you are anxious in order to stuff down feelings of heartbreak, loneliness or helplessness. I can help you learn how to manage these deep painful feelings rather than trying to avoid them by overeating. Once you learn that you can feel these difficult feelings than you no longer have to avoid them with food.

I help clients who want to change their relationship with food. I am not a specialist in eating disorders -- concerns like anorexia or bulimia should be handled by a specialist. But I can work with clients who want to set goals around eating better and loving themselves more. I take a "healthy at every size" approach and will help you unpack unhealthy social messages about your weight or appearance while ensuring your physical health is your top priority.

Our credentialed music therapists tailor sessions to each individual, utilizing personalized music exercises and interventions to address each person's unique symptoms of eating disorder. Our music therapists work with each client using musical elements like songwriting, processing, and guided imagery to help clients find their own voice and learn new coping skills to help manage eating disorders of any severity.

I work with eating disorders as a symptom of a deeper issue. By using a combination of behavioral changes and analytic understanding of the meanings of your symptoms, you will gain the control you need to become healthy. If you need a higher level of care, such as intensive outpatient or hospitalization, I will refer you. I can see you several times a week, if you would benefit from that. If you have been in intensive programs for anorexia, bulemia, or compulsive overeating, and are ready to explore your own personal meanings and issues with food, I am available to take that journey with you.

Has your life spiraled out of control because of food? Despite what you're experiencing on the inside, are others around you totally oblivious? How can you take your life back? Thanks to the advancement of technology, we are always on the go. Add to that the unrelenting expectations of others - to perform better or look a certain way - and it's inevitable that we've come to live to eat and not eat to live. We can get your life back on track, you can regain control of your relationship with food, and you can finally live free of your thoughts of food.
