Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Patton Village, TX.

With eating disorders, I begin therapy by bringing the client and family in for a family session. I will also see the client alone in order to assess specific behaviors and attitudes about food, weight and exercise. This is very helpful in addressing the severity of the eating disorder and improving the understanding of the contributing factors to the disorder. An eating disorder may sometimes be rooted in low self-esteem, societal pressure, anxiety or misguided ideals of perfection.

You will encounter a sympathetic and judgment-free setting to treat your eating disorder throughout our sessions. We'll collaborate to create doable plans for changing our behaviors and outlook. We'll clear the path for enduring healing by recognizing and confronting negative thought patterns. I'll also provide assistance in overcoming the challenges of body image and self-esteem. Through our collaborative therapy partnership, you'll acquire the knowledge and self-assurance required to have a healthy connection with food and your body, eventually leading to long-term wellbeing.

I create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem. Through a combination of evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, and ACT, clients gain insights into the underlying factors driving their disordered eating behaviors. By developing coping skills, challenging negative thought patterns, and fostering self-compassion, clients can gradually heal their relationship with food and their bodies. I collaborate with registered dietitians to address both the psychological and nutritional aspects. My goal is to empower clients to cultivate a balanced and nourishing approach to eating and living.

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.

If you feel out of control with food, find yourself obsessing over food and weight, have struggled with dieting for many years, and feel that food has taken over your life, we can help! Disordered eating can take many forms, but ultimately it is destructive both physically and emotionally. Therapy may involve working collaboratively with medical doctors, nutritionists and even group or family therapy to heal and recover from disordered eating behaviors and emotional pain. In addition to therapy, our practice offers a group program to help you make peace with food, recognize and replace emotional eating behaviors and learn to eat intuitively.
