Intuitive Eating Program

 

It is very important to us to be able to provide the opportunities to open up access to care for all - which is why we offer teletherapy (virtual services) to the entire state of Montana. We want to help you in the best way we can with the resources you have; we can "come" to you whenever you find that other options are just not realistic. Recovery is never linear; treatment options should not be either.

Intensive Outpatient Program

The aim of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is to create and foster an intensive and supportive environment in which continued recovery can be worked toward when traditional outpatient therapy no longer meets your recovery needs. IOP also serves as a “step-down” for those transitioning from a higher level of care (Inpatient, Residential, or Partial Hospitalization) as a means to provide the continued support necessary to protect your recovery journey upon your return home.

A crucial piece of the recovery process is the ability to practice and expose yourself to recovery behaviors while in your home environment. Our treatment program is designed to minimize disruption to your work and school schedules to allow you to do just that.

Our program provides 9 hours per week of therapeutic services that are individually tailored and designed to meet each patient’s unique recovery needs.  Patients will participate in group therapy, skills, and process groups, supported meals, and various evenings devoted to nutrition education and experiential outings.  We function within a team treatment approach and collaborate closely with schools, medical professionals, dietitians, therapists, and families.

IOP is designed to foster an intensive and supportive environment when traditional outpatient therapy no longer meets recovery needs.

Program Features:

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday | 4:00 – 7:00pm

Therapeutic Meal Support

Therapeutic Meal Support (TMS) is an individualized meal support program for eating disorder patients. We all know that eating disorders are not about the food, but in order to facilitate healing and lasting recovery it has to start with the food. This is why we offer an experiential and exposure-based service to aide in decreasing the fear and stigma associated with certain foods or eating in general. Support is provided where it is needed – in the office, at school, or at restaurants for specific food related challenges.

Therapeutic Meal Support Groups:

Mondays 5pm-6pm | Fridays 12pm-1pm

Now providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner support virtually.

Individualized meal support program designed to enhance outpatient individual therapy services with direct observation and support during meals or snacks.


 
 
 
 

Connection in recovery is an essential, yet at times often left out, element within the treatment and recovery process. This is why we offer a FREE recovery focused eating disorder support group that serves both adolescents and adults.

Connection and reflection within the group environment allows an opportunity to find companionship and support among other individuals that share in relatable and common experiences. Overall goals are to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to share, gain support, learn practical skills/tools, and to instill motivation and hope that full recovery is possible.

Every Monday 6pm-7pm

Now providing eating disorder support group services virtually.

Community. Connection. Support. Sustained Recovery.


 
 

Emily Wish, LLC offers an Intuitive Eating Program for those wishing to build a peaceful and authentic relationship with food and body. The aim of the course is to create awareness of the often traumatic aspects of diet culture and the internalization it has instigated in such an influential way that we have fused with the belief that the problem is us. We are here to tell you that we are not the problem, nor have we ever been.

We hope to aide you in understanding the negative effects of diet culture so that you are able to name and externalize the actual problem: it is not you, it is them. When we have a firm grasp on where the blame truly lies (diet culture/weight stigma/fatphobia) we are able to effectively explore the impact it has had on us, our bodies, our view of others and their bodies, and our personal relationship with food in such a way that we can begin movement towards healing and full meaningful life living.

Though led by Certified Intuitive Eating Counselors, your body is the ONLY expert in the room; a crucial piece of the process is learning to trust it.

Every BODY is welcome.

Program Features:

Open to Adults | Eight week course held virtually

8 week group beginning September 5th, 2023 5:30pm-7:00pm

*Access to a FREE monthly support group after completion of program

Questions about our therapy or nutrition services?

 Therapeutic Meal Support for your patients:

Services are offered as a means to provide experiential and exposure-based modalities in supplementation to your current individual treatment with your patient. As you know, self-report makes it difficult to assess the full extent of a patient’s struggle with food, and in-session guidance often does not extend its influence to the actual meal. Whether your patient needs help processing difficult emotions and thoughts, incorporating fear foods, or overcoming anxiety related to eating with others, we can help provide that additional support.

We can help you with patients …

  • Who need in-person support to implement your in-session recommendations.

  • For whom direct observation of eating behavior would better inform your therapeutic focus.

  • Who would benefit from private guidance to more effectively use group-based meals.
