Cooking Therapy

Cooking Therapy turns everyday kitchen moments into simple tools for your mental health. Created by Debra Borden, LCSW, a pioneer in the field of Cooking Therapy and author of Cooking As Therapy: How to Improve Mental Health Through Cooking, the app uses the things you already do in the kitchen (chopping, stirring, waiting, seasoning) as anchors to ground your mind and work through what you're feeling. It isn't about culinary perfection. It's about taking care of yourself. THERAPEUTIC RECIPES Every recipe pairs a kitchen action with a therapeutic metaphor. Kneading dough becomes a release for built-up tension; peeling a lemon becomes a practice in letting go. Choose from three tiers, Quick Whisks, Steady Simmer and Slow & Golden, based on the time you have. MINI MINDFUL AUDIOS 45+ short guided audios from Debra for breathing, grounding, gratitude, release and focus. Perfect for when meal prep feels overwhelming. A new Audio of the Day every day. YOUR KITCHEN JOURNAL A fresh reflection prompt each day, a private space to write, and gentle reminders if you'd like them. Your entries are private to your account.
