Together we work to modify these beliefs and replace them with healthier beliefs about eating, one’s body, coping with personal traumas, and engaging in sensible exercise.

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 are very complicated and require a team approach to treat. If you suspect you have an eating disorder that is moderate to severe, you might require an initial period of work with a team to help you medically stabilize. This support can include a variety of settings, depending upon how severe the eating disorder is. However, for those who have stabilized and are in active recovery, an outpatient therapy approach may help maintain gains. Outpatient work is best done during your committed recovery. You'll work to develop a kinder relationship with yourself and to develop a range of coping and communication strategies.
