Whats Included in our VIOP?
Individual Therapy
Individual sessions focus on the 6 core elements of our unique treatment formula, following the resource workbook, also useful for future reference. Therapists give specific reading assignments and assign useful challenges throughout program. Our emphasis on defining and contacting the true Self helps relocate the seat of control, power and agency in life, allowing individuals to renegotiate their relationship to self, others, nature, creativity, spirituality and life purpose.
Nutrition Counseling
Our nutrition program considers individual body types, past and current medical evaluation, unique metabolic considerations alongside evaluation of psychological barriers to eating. Our dietitians specializing in nutritional psychology – know how to design nutrition programs that target nutrients needed for brain & nervous system repair, over-all physical stamina, metabolism regeneration and the holistic healing for each body recovering its optimal health. All clients received a 120-page Nutrition Science & Exercise Workbook.
Meal Support
Meal & supplement plans evolve each week through our phase-in process. Meals that are eaten at the center transition from highly structured meal plans to intuitive or conscious eating plans as individuals progress. Our meal planning support transfers life skills to each client, with menu-planning, grocery shopping, and food preparation skills that build lasting confidence and self trust.
Our cooking classes give beginning and more advanced cooking strategies for busy lives on a budget. Grocery shopping excursions help with organizational skills ad new methods of shopping to combat anxiety and paralysis common in grocery stores!
Exercise Dependency & Resistance
Troubling exercise goals and motivation problems are the common result of our culture’s fitness movement, elite athlete history and emphasis on exercise as a body image product, creating over and under exercise problems. Our program addresses both ends of the spectrum, allowing individuals to reset their natural drive to enjoy physical activity in a way that is deeply gratifying, strengthening and empowering.
Family Groups & Therapy Sessions
The support groups teach family members why our culture based on nutrition, exercise and body image consciousness has backfired into an epidemic of life destructive disorders. Learn from other parents and staff how to get weight and eating issues healed in families and create effective and supportive ways of helping loved ones move beyond the cultural pressures around eating and exercise.
In individual therapy or small group sessions, we help couples or families with new patterns of relating that address the differences inherent in personalities within any family system. With care, a sense of humor and extremely effective insights and skills taught by our staff, all family members get insights about their role in the family and gain a renewed perspective that improves life for everyone involved!
Group Education and Process Sessions
Connecting with others through group therapy is one of the most effective healing modalities. Group sharing and storytelling dissolves shame and allows us to gain insight from individuals who have gone through some of the same struggles that we have.
Insurance
Authorization
Clients and family do not have to call insurance companies directly. We do a benefits check for everyone, and report on specific insurance coverage for IOP or PHP level of care. We do the authorizing with insurance and have contracts with most major companies.
