Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Lockhart, TX.

What is an eating disorder? Simply, it is having lost the capacity to sustain our bodies in a normal, responsible and healthy way. Multiple reasons are available as to the causes of eating disorders. Over the many years in my practice, I have usually found underlying psychodynamic causative factors. In my clinical experience when medical, physiological abnormalities are identified, the psycho-emotional components usually accompany the symptoms. To learn more about body-mind issues, regarding your eating disorder, call me for an evaluation. Body-mind treatment approaches can be very successful for those ready to be released from this abnormal eating condition.

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.
