Our goal at Food for Thought Therapy is to work with individuals and families to identify what matters most to each client and how we can help you or your child become the most successful eater they can be. Meal time can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be. We are here to help improve family relations and decrease stress at mealtimes.
To help your whole family achieve success, we empower you in a variety of ways. Therapy is not one size fits all, which is why we implement a variety of therapeutic strategies based on each client’s and family’s needs. It is always advised to call Food for Thought Therapy and briefly chat with Kelly to discuss your needs and any questions you may have.
