-Post-meal processing

-Access to a registered dietitian trained in the specific area of your group

-Working towards a similar goal of building trust in your body and a better relationship with food.

In case you missed our email!

To the Brown & Medina Community,

At this time, we will be taking ALL appointments virtually by phone/FaceTime/Zoom or on a platform that you and your dietitian determine is best for you.

We recognize during this time that mental health services are needed more than ever, and our goal is to continue to provide these services to our clients without interruption. We are sensitive to how this upheaval may bring up old or new nutrition related issues and we are here to support you.

It is of utmost importance to us to maintain the integrity of our counseling. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any thoughts or concerns you might have.

Warmly,

Lisa, Jen, Adena, Shara, Colby and Susan

P.S. Be on the lookout for correspondence regarding virtual group support. We are diligently working on developing these opportunities for our community.
