Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Robertsville, NJ.

I offer a solution-focused approach that is tailored to each client’s specific needs, and is based on empirical research. I have an unusually high success rate – helping clients to achieve permanent recovery from eating disorders – from my years of experience and training in a variety of therapeutic methods. Each session is designed to address the specific concerns of the client, and is informed by my training in psychodynamic therapy, hypnosis, child and adolescent therapy, family therapy, psychology of women, feminist therapy, and men’s issues.

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.

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. Dr. Spada will stay with you throughout your process to understand what's driving your disordered eating. She will also help you gain healthy coping mechanisms, to replace the unhealthy ones you may have created.

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.

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.

As one who has suffered and recovered from eating disorders, I know personally and professionally the challenges of recovering. I have weighed as little as 79 pounds and as much as over 200. Recovery is a journey of highs and lows, but the direction we move in in therapy remains steady. I use an individualized and collaborative approach to treatment. It is positive, supportive, and comprehensive. If I recovered, you can do.
