Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Lavon, TX.

I offer counseling to adults and children who struggle with eating disorders. Eating disorders are usually a response to feeling out of control. Eating or withholding food gives you a sense of power over your situation. During therapy, I will work with you to identify what causes the problem and how to overcome it. I also provide family therapy as needed to increase support for the client and loved ones.

We focus on eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), disordered eating, compulsive exercise & body image concerns. We focus on self esteem concerns, depression, anxiety, process and substance use disorders, coping skills, trauma, domestic violence, & PTSD. Our goal is to empower you to write the next chapter of your life. We specialize in mindfulness, CBT, harm reduction, family systems theory, & motivational interviewing. We are trained in ART & EMDR, which is an evidence based modality for trauma & PTSD treatment.

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.

In treating eating disorders, my approach involves a meticulous examination of contributing factors, aiming to devise practical solutions. For instance, by linking depression to binge eating, therapeutic techniques target depression alleviation, reducing the need for destructive coping mechanisms. Recognizing eating disorders as coping strategies, I emphasize teaching clients healthy alternatives. Through this, individuals gain skills to manage emotional pain, combat feelings of isolation, and boost self-esteem productively. Mindfulness practices play a pivotal role, aiding in the identification and redirection of invasive thought patterns about food.

"It's not about the food." Therapist will provide support, guidance, and hold space to help client explore and identify the contributing factors that fuel ED thoughts and behaviors. Therapist and client will address issues related to unhealthy relationships with exercise, body image, etc. Identifying as well as processing through triggers, difficult to process through life experiences, and other contributing issues will also be of focus and importance.
