Breaking Bread Meal Support Therapy

**Our Breaking Bread therapy groups are accepting new clients (18+).**

“The opportunity to challenge food rules in a caring and supportive setting actually made meals enjoyable, and I always appreciated the directive that followed the meal. My therapist provided a safe and supportive place to be vulnerable, extend care and support to others, and learn more about ourselves.”

- Stacy, Breaking Bread Program Graduate

Our Breaking Bread therapy group is a weekly, 90-minute group designed to help you challenge food fears in a safe environment with other people who get what you are going through. This group is open to adults (18+) and offers a supported meal led by a therapist, as well as therapeutic discussion.

Breaking Bread is uniquely designed to give you extra support if you need more than just individual therapy alone, or to ease the transition if you’re stepping down from a higher level of care.

In this group, you will work toward increasing flexibility and permission with food, so that you can freely break bread with those you love and live more fully. You'll also process the issues underlying your relationship with food and your body. This group covers topics like social and cultural norms and pressures, shame and self-compassion, mindfulness, diet culture, boundaries, relapse prevention, joyful movement, intuitive eating, and more.

What’s Expected of Breaking Bread Clients:

We ask that clients commit to the group for a minimum of 8 weeks. This helps promote stability in the group, which creates a safe space for everyone to be vulnerable with one another. Clients are encouraged to utilize the group until they feel solid enough in their recovery to increase their independence and reduce the amount of support they receive.
