Who We Work With
We support people who are often the go-to person in their world — therapists, creatives, entrepreneurs, caregivers, parents, and high-achievers — who are outwardly capable but inwardly feeling stuck.
Our clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and often have done therapy or personal development work before — but their relationship with food, movement, or their body still feels like an unresolved piece of the puzzle.
You might resonate with our work if:
- You’ve tried to “do health right” but still feel anxious, disconnected, or ashamed around food, movement and your body
- You bounce between control and burnout, and it’s exhausting
- You want support that honors nuance, identity, and your full story
- You’re a parent who wants to model a more peaceful relationship with food and body or have a child struggling with disordered eating
- You value a trauma-informed, non-judgmental approach to healing

What We Help With
Even when you’re doing your best, your relationship with food, movement, and your body can still feel complicated.
These are a few of the experiences we help you with.
We help clients navigate:
- Guilt or confusion around food
- Struggles to move in a way that feels sustainable and not punishing
- Constant second-guessing of their hunger, cravings, or needs
- Disconnection from their body
- Frustration with how their body looks or feels
- Balancing their physical and mental health in a way that feels peaceful and less stressful
- Building trust with themselves when it comes to hunger and fullness
- What to say or do when their child is struggling with disordered eating.

Our Approach
We support you in building a more peaceful, trusting relationship with food, movement, and your body — at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Whether you’ve spent years trying to “get it right” or are just beginning this work, we meet you where you are.
Here’s how we work:
- Rooted in intuitive eating, mindfulness, and body awareness. We help you tune back into your body’s cues — hunger, fullness, emotion, and rest
- Weight-inclusive & trauma-informed. We recognize that your relationship with food and body is shaped by lived experience, identity, culture, and systems — not just personal choices.
- Collaborative. You bring your story and inner wisdom; we offer a compassionate, structured space to explore what’s been hard and what could feel different.
- Curious & non-judgmental. We help you gently notice the parts of you that turn to control, rigidity, or disconnection — and work with them, not against them.
Lets Get Started
Step 1 - Free Consult Call
This is a low-pressure space to share what’s been coming up for you around food, movement, or body image.
We’ll talk about your hopes, your concerns, and what kind of support might feel most helpful. You don’t need to have it all figured out to reach out—this is just where the process begins.
Step 2 - Personalized Support
Ongoing 1:1 counseling that’s collaborative and client-led. Together, we’ll work at your pace. Sessions are guided by your lived experience, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Our work draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), intuitive eating, somatic practices, and a social justice lens to gently explore the parts of you that seek control, safety, or structure through food, movement or your body.
Step 3 - Rebuild Body Trust
We’ll help you reconnect with your cues and redefine nourishment, rest, and care—on your terms.
This work isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about building a relationship with your body that feels curious, compassionate, and sustainable.

At Embodied Health Counseling we focus on providing highly tailored, individualized support. Our caseloads are small as we value above all else the relationships we have with our clients. Working outside of insurance allows us to provide this standard of care, protect your privacy and determine what is appropriate for your care without insurance dictating our treatment plans as some plans only allow clients to see a dietitian 4-5x/year which we truly believe is inadequate.
Our practice is out of network with insurance which means that we provide superbills for clients to submit to their insurance instead. We also work with Reimbursify to submit superbills on your behalf too.
We do have a limited number of sliding scale spots. You can inquire about these in your consult call if interested
-

We do! We love supporting parents, families and teens struggling with disordered eating. We focus on treating disordered eating from a holistic perspective where both the teen and parent(s) have sessions with us.
-
Absolutely! As dietitians we are trained to support clients in navigating medical diagnoses like high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, diabetes, IBS, and so forth.
We choose to take a holistic approach where these pieces are supported while simultaneously exploring your relationship with food, movement and your body. We have found that these are often very connected and overlooked in the broader medical system.

What Our Clients Have To Say
-
"Emily is a godsend, and one of the main reasons I've continued eating disorder recovery this long....
What has most stood out to me is the way that Emily walks the line of what we should talk about to further my recovery whilst giving me agency in when I talk about those things. I made it clear at the onset of working with her that I do not trust dietitians, and she changed that.”
-
"Maddy has been one of the most impactful people on my journey to heal my relationship with food... There are so many meaningful ways that she’s helped that really can’t be measured...
When I look back on my time and experience working with Maddy I am always going to remember what an important role she played in helping me to build a more positive relationship with food and ultimately with myself, and I’ll always be grateful to her for that.”
-
"Emily was the first dietitian to see me and not my body....
She made me feel safe while also helping me hold space for ED thoughts.
She's well-educated, emotionally intelligent, and passionate about what she does. Those of us in fat bodies, shamed by dietitians in the past, or fearing of being judged by being honest...that stops at Emily's practice”
