Monarch Rising Therapy and Nutrition Services stands as Orange County's premier outpatient center dedicated to assisting clients on their healing journey towards a healthier relationship with their bodies, food, anxiety, and depression. The center recognizes that society's messages regarding food and health can be destructive and exclusive, which often results in body shame and a conflicting relationship with food. Emphasizing that all bodies are worthy of food freedom, Monarch Rising believes that complete healing is achievable. The compassionate team guides each client through their transformation journey, allowing them to ultimately soar. By offering personalized and creative therapy combined with nutritional counseling, clients are empowered to transform, heal, and rise. The approach involves helping clients reconnect with their hunger and fullness cues, understanding what nourishment looks like for them, embracing all foods with both pleasure and nutrition, and developing a deep trust in their bodies' unique complexities. Monarch Rising employs evidence-based methods, drawing from various scientific research to ensure effective care. Clients who value a direct yet warm approach—enhanced by attentive listening, non-judgmental feedback, creative art therapy options, and a touch of humor—will find a perfect fit at Monarch Rising. The primary goal is to support individuals in trusting and nourishing their bodies, free from the shame and confusion perpetuated by diet culture.
