Culinary Art Therapy is recreational with the form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy; for it allows one to process their thinking patterns, while also take advantage of the mindfulness of cooking into affect. This engages the mind, body, and spirit in ways that are distinct from verbal expression alone. I also utilize Trauma-Informed practice when we begin to discuss and break down the stressors and trauma that you face.

Once you have made the most important step and decision, which is starting therapy, your food journey begins.In MCT, you will gain new and innovative communication, leadership, decision-making, and mindful skills. Individual sessions will be facilitated once a week for at least 24 weeks. Group sessions will be facilitated once every other week for at least 24 weeks.

Recipe consultation/ meal planning ideas • 60-90 minutes of one-on-one Coached Cooking Experience • Complete meal ready-to-serve to the guests of your choice • Recipe copies to keep and perfect!
