Eating Disorder Treatment Programs & Services, New York City

Meal Support and Dining Out

Up to four evenings per week, patients are able to participate in a variety of supported meal experiences. This is a highly beneficial service for individuals who are engaged in outpatient treatment but need additional support around mealtime. Patients are served balanced dinner meals, which they consume with the support of a therapist or nutritionist and other patients. One evening each week, may involve a dining out experience, in which patients are taken to a local restaurant for a dinner meal. Every meal includes a thorough processing session upon completion, during which feelings evoked by the dining experience may be worked through.
