Eating Disorder TherapyQuiet the Food Noise
Heal the Starving Brain
Food noise is not a failure of willpower-it’s a flaw in brainpower
At SPG, we use a nutrition-forward, brain-based approach to restore safety, rebuild internal signals, and support lasting recovery.
Eating disorders are a fingerprint. They are different and unique for everyone affected. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan, and they must be approached with understanding, experience, and empathy.
At SPG, we approach eating disorders with a nutrition-forward, biological brain-based model of care. A starving brain must be nourished in order to heal. The brain can unlearn the habits it has developed around food and body image. We work with you to understand your eating disorder and to develop a treatment strategy that works for you.
A TEAM-BASED approachHealing does not happen in isolation. Working alongside nutritionists and primary care physicians, we form a comprehensive, collaborative strategy to support your recovery.
The Work.
Dr. Shelov has been part of the NYC Eating Disorder community for 20 years. Shelov Psychology Group recognizes the fear that Eating Disorder diagnoses trigger in parents, families, and individuals. We are here to alleviate that fear and provide a clear path toward weight restoration and comprehensive treatment. We believe that eating disorders should not be feared; they should be treated. Directly and Effectively.
The Five Pillars of Eating Disorder Care ©
Naming the Noise
Understanding the Flawed Food Loop (FFL)
Rebuilding the Signals
Rewrite the Narrative
Practice, Practice, Practice
These five pillars anchor our treatment approach. Together, we work to help you separate yourself from the noise, understand the neural circuitry that keeps you stuck, move toward weight restoration, and rewrite the stories you tell yourself.
Your eating disorder is a part of you — not all of you.
If you feel hijacked by food and body preoccupation, you are not alone. We are here to help negotiate your freedom.
Let’s get started.
Our Commitment to You
We are committed to helping our patients toward recovery and are incredibly active in the treatment process. We are also accessible. Part of this treatment is teaming up with the family or individual to confront this eating disorder head on. We conceptualize this as outnumbering and outsmarting the eating disorder, until the patient becomes more comfortable waging the fight on their own.
