Meal Support

Through meal support therapy, clients work with our coaches to gradually decrease fear around meals and increase trust in themselves and the recovery process.

  • Stay accountable to your meal plan

  • Portion appropriately

  • Normalize meal times

  • Find and add variety to your food choices

  • Assist with home cooking/ordering in

  • Acknowledge and work through food rules

  • Challenge food fears

  • Stay on track with your recovery goals

  • Make eating enjoyable in the company of a supportive individual, rather than doing it alone
