Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Orange, VA.

Are you or a loved one struggling with a possible eating disorder? The types of eating disorders which I see the most include bulimia, binge eating disorder, restricting calories, excessive exercising, and night eating syndrome. Women and teens are the most susceptible. Girls/women often struggle with body image and the "ideal body type". There is a tremendous amount of pressure to look a certain way. I get it. Please reach out to me if you are not sure about the diagnosis. I can help with that too.

Although different eating disorders spring from different issues, food is a basic emotional as well as physical need from the day you were born. We can use it to satisfy, temporarily many other needs. Or we can pridefully deny ourselves. In addition, we live in a culture that can have very harsh, judgmental attitudes about bodies, attitudes that we internalize without noticing. You may have been told that your body image is distorted, that other people do not see you the way you do. Self-acceptance is the beginning. It is not your fault you are in this condition, although it is your responsibility to get past it. The second step is self-observance, then self-love. I can help.

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.

For so many people, it brings outward shame to be afflicted with an eating disorder; it’s often worn as a badge of dishonor or guilt. Too many fight against eating disorders silently and alone, often acting in ways that will ensure their their difficulties with food remain hidden.

At Thriveworks Counseling Charlottesville we know the truth about eating disorders. We understand that struggles of this nature are not signs of weakness or failure.
