Your Relationship with Food

What does a relationship with food mean? A healthy relationship with food involves accepting a variety of foods to help nourish your body while enjoying what you eat. It can encompass aspects of intuitive eating, a mindset that utilizes the use of hunger and fullness cues which lets your body know how much and when to eat.

How long does eating disorder therapy take?

The number of sessions and duration depends on many factors. Your therapist will work with you during the first few sessions to get a thorough background from you and together you will create a treatment plan.
