Stop fighting and feeling confused with food.
Start feeling at ease around it
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 evidence-based, collaborative and client-led. Together, we’ll work at your pace, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
By increasing awareness and identifying your unique patterns we will help you start making changes that actually work all while collaborating with other providers on your team so you feel fully supported.
Step 3 - Sustainable Change
We turn what you’re learning into routines that actually stick—less food noise, more trust, more calm around eating.
This work is about building a relationship with your body that feels curious, compassionate, and sustainable that supports both your physical and mental health.
Areas of Specialty
Learn who we work with and 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 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.
What Our Clients Have To Say
-
"I have been working with Emily C for almost 4 years now and she has made the biggest difference in my view of myself and how I live my everyday life."
Her impact starts at food and nourishment but goes so far beyond it, as she really understands that so many aspects of my life as a whole contribute to how I eat and my relationship with food and my body. She truly meets you where you are at and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone struggling with body image and food related issues.
-
"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.”
-
"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”

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 are an entirely virtual practice supporting clients in California, New York as well as Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia.
-
Yes. Our practice offers two options for superbills. We can either provide you with a monthly superbill to submit yourself or we can submit it using our partner Reimbursify. We can not guarantee reimbursement.

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.
