Fake Trees

I was wondering if there are any types of fake trees and/or real ones that I could put inside my bird room that would be safe for my eclectus to perch in with it always being, of course, the possibility he may chew on the leaves.

I'm not sure but personally I would avoid fake trees, as he may ingest a piece of plastic or material fairly easy. But then real trees probably wouldn't last very long around a parrot!
There are many many safe trees and plants out there, personally I give my birds any australian native branches (eucalyptus, melaleuca, bottlebrush/callistemon etc), and fruit trees such as apple trees have safe bark and wood (just be careful of pesticides.)
I think willow is another safe one but you should check that.

If you have enough natural light in the room, you could try growing an Areca palm in a large pot. They usually are relatively inexpensive, and are bird safe. You do need enough light though.
