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 a disruption of one's relationship with food, certainly. But more importantly, they represent a rupture in one's relationship to Self. Eating disorders can last a lifetime without targeted intervention. Eating disorders can also be an extension of other struggles, such as childhood adversity, trauma, neglect, abandonment, and other experiences that impact Self esteem. True hope is found in those who have triumphed over addiction and abuse, and have survived broken hearts. Healing begins when we reach out and connect with others. Eating disorders can be life-threatening. Don't suffer through them alone.

Eating disorders are increasingly more common for men and women in the modern age, especially with the popularization of social media and prevalent addictive foods. Therapy for eating disorders will support you in realizing that control over your diet and health is possible. Together, we will work though the emotional components of your relationship with food, find healthy substitutes other than food to meet your emotional needs, and support confidence in your ability to maintain your new changes in your relationship with food.

Eating disorders are issues related to attachment. Without healthy attachment in childhood, adults learn to compensate and control their external environment with an eating disorder. Treatment includes building healthy cognitive thoughts, re-wiring parts of the brain that makes an individual feel shamed and unworthy, all the while addressing the very real concerns of the eating disorder.
