Heal your relationship with food and say goodbye to dieting for good

Our Services

  • Free Consultation Call

    It all starts with a 20 minute phone call. This is your opportunity to get to know our providers to make sure it is a good fit on both sides. You can also ask any questions about our philosophy, approach, etc.

    We also discuss the cost of our services and superbills during consult calls.

    We are currently out of network providers with insurance meaning that we don’t bill directly but we can provide you with a superbill to submit if you have out of network benefits!

    We work with Reimbursify to check for out of network benefits. Use this link to see if you have out of network benefits (OON). By submitting a benefits check, you are consenting to us sending you the results via the email you provide.

  • Intake Session

    Now it’s time to dive deeper into your journey. We want to understand where you’ve been, where you are and where you’re trying to go. We work together to come up with a plan for healing your relationship with food, movement and body image while simultaneously addressing any underlying health conditions/concerns.

  • Follow Up Sessions

    Usually after the intake we start seeing clients weekly for the first month and then taper to every other week when it’s appropriate. For some of our clients they require additional support upfront and may see our dietitians for meal support 1-2x/week in addition to sessions.

Areas of Specialty

Learn how we support clients struggling with various diagnoses and conditions that may impact their relationship with food, movement, and their body

  • We work with clients to help them understand how their anxiety and depression can manifest in food and movement behaviors. As well as how their underlying anxiety and depression can worsen when their bodies are inadequately nourished.

  • Athletes have unique energy needs that can be difficult to meet when disordered eating is on board. We work closely with clients to support the amount of movement they want and need to do while also understanding the physiological needs their bodies have with high levels of activity.

    We support our clients in nourishing their body regardless of activity in addition to fueling adequately before, during and after movement. We also closely assess the adequacy of intake to ensure preservation of bone density, menstruation in female clients and optimum athletic performance.

  • We support clients with bipolar disorder in identifying the disordered patterns that exist with food in manic and/or depressive cycles.

    We also ensure clients have a team that can support all of their needs from therapeutic to psychiatric to dietary.

  • There is a lot of evidence that shows associations between chronic pain and illness with disordered eating. We support clients in noticing the patterns that may exist for them between chronic pain/illness and disordered eating.

    We support clients in meeting themselves where they’re at and also in having a multi-disciplinary team that can support their various medical, psychological and dietary needs.

  • Studies have shown that inadequate nourishment, regardless of body size, can impact fertility outcomes for women. We work with clients to nourish their bodies adequately to support fertility while also holding space for the toll that IVF and struggles with fertility can have on their psychological and physical wellbeing.

  • Gastrointestinal symptoms can be both associated with and a product of disordered eating. We hold space for clients to share more about their unique GI symptoms and offer education and tools to help support them as they navigate their healing journey.

    We help clients to disentangle what GI challenges are rooted in disordered behaviors and which are underlying physiological struggles that need tailored solutions.

  • There is significant crossover between neurodivergence and disordered eating. Clients with ADHD and ASD can be at greater risk for binge eating disorder as well as ARFID.

    We support clients in understanding how their neurodivergence impacts things like grocery shopping, food preparation, life routines, etc. while simultaneously supporting them in incremental changes that promote consistent eating, regularity in patterns with food and movement and identifying what can be stimulating and overstimulating with food/exercise.

  • Are you a parent of a child with an ED and don’t know where to begin? Or maybe your child (adult or 18 years or younger) is struggling with disordered eating and you need support in navigating what is coming up for you and your relationship with food, movement and your body.

    We are uniquely positioned to support parents in helping their child develop and intuitive relationship with food and their body while helping you feel able to support yourself and your own needs. Parents are humans first!

  • Research shows associations between personality disorders and disordered eating, especially borderline personality disorder (BPD) and binge eating disorder.

    We work closely with clients and their therapist to create a treatment plan that helps them increase awareness of and decrease the intensity of their disordered eating behaviors.

    These clients have often had negative experiences with previous providers. We aim to meet these clients where they’re at and create a safe and supportive relationship that helps them make small steps towards healing their relationship with food, movement and their body.

  • Research shows strong crossovers between substance use disorder and disordered eating. We work with clients to have a team that can support both the disordered eating and substance abuse.

    We work collaboratively with clients to increase awareness of cycles that exist between disordered behaviors and substance abuse.

  • Research shows strong associations between trauma and eating disorders. We work with clients to make sure they have a team that can support both.

    As dietitians, we also practice from a trauma-informed lens. Meaning, we understand how trauma can impact how we eat, our body’s cues around hunger and fullness and our ability to regulate emotionally which can impact our ability to eat and feel connected/present.

  • We understand how difficult it can be to get support for your own eating disorder when you are treating clients who have ED’s.

    There can be a lot of shame in needing support and we aim to create a safe space to know that before anyone is a provider, they are a human first.

    We aren’t here to judge. We are here to support and create a space for you to get the help you deserve.
