Binge Eating Disorder Therapists in Rye, New York

Binge eating disorder is a mental health condition involving episodes of consuming large quantities of food to the point of discomfort (binging), often very quickly and without the self-induced vomiting or other compensatory behaviors found in bulimia nervosa. Binge eating disorder is marked by a sense of losing control over eating and can lead to feelings of distress, guilt, or shame. Individuals may also experience symptoms of depression or anxiety, which can compound the impact that binge eating disorder already has on one's daily life. It is important that treatment is sought, as binge eating disorder can also lead to many health complications.

If you are grappling with binge eating disorder, you may benefit from specialized care. Treatment is often provided by a team of healthcare professionals. In therapy, you might focus on understanding where the beliefs that drive binge eating behaviors come from, learn new coping skills, and practice self-soothing strategies to gradually replace disordered behaviors. Although therapists differ in their approach, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common modality used, through which you’ll learn to identify and change the negative thinking patterns and unhelpful behaviors that have contributed to the disorder. Some clinicians might suggest behavioral therapy to help make the behavioral changes necessary to stop the binges.
