Personalized Eating Disorder Nutrition Counseling

Proper nutrition is a critical component of recovery, helping restore energy, balance hormones, support mental health, and rebuild a positive relationship with food. Without individualized guidance, it can be difficult to navigate the physical and emotional challenges of recovery. This is where eating disorder nutrition counseling can help. 

​

Our dietitians take a functional, personalized approach. We don’t rely on generic meal plans or rigid rules. Instead, we look at your unique body, health history, and lived experience to create nutrition strategies that truly work for you as an individual.

Restrictive & Compensatory Eating Disorders

Restrictive and compensatory eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, purging, etc) often develop as attempts to cope with distress, regain control, or manage fears about weight, health, or self-worth. These patterns may involve severe food restriction, rigid rules, cycles of bingeing followed by purging, over-exercising, or an intense preoccupation with “clean” or “perfect” eating. 

 

Over time, these behaviors can disrupt metabolism, hormones, digestion, bone health, and mental well-being, while also reinforcing anxiety, guilt, and shame around food.

​

Recovery requires more than simply “eating more” or “stopping behaviors.” It involves restoring nutritional stability, reducing fear-based food rules, repairing physical imbalances, and untangling the emotional drivers behind restriction or compensation.

 

Our dietitians provide structured, individualized nutrition support that helps stabilize intake, rebuild trust with your body, and create sustainable eating rhythms that support long-term health.

​

Restrictive & Compensatory
ADHD Eating Disorders

ADHD Eating Disorders

Living with ADHD can significantly impact eating patterns, making routine nutrition feel inconsistent or overwhelming. Symptoms such as distractibility, impulsivity, executive dysfunction, and irregular energy levels can lead to skipped meals, mindless snacking, overeating, or difficulty planning balanced meals.

 

These patterns may intensify into ADHD eating disorders or make recovery strategies more challenging to implement without personalized support.

​

Our functional nutritionists provide targeted guidance to address the ways ADHD affects appetite, focus, and meal structure. We work to stabilize energy, create realistic routines, and develop strategies that fit your cognitive style and daily life, helping reduce stress and improve consistency around eating.

​

Nutrition Support for ADHD ​Will Help: 

​

  • Stabilize Energy & Appetite: Meal planning and nutrient support to manage blood sugar swings and focus challenges

  • Address Impulsive or Restrictive Eating: Practical tools for navigating urges, distractions, or inconsistent meal routines

  • Support Brain Health: Nutrient-rich guidance to optimize focus, mood, and cognitive function

  • Create Real-Life Eating Habits: Flexible, sustainable strategies tailored to your schedule and preferences

​

We meet you where you are, offering understanding and practical strategies that honor how ADHD shapes your eating habits. Together, we build structure, confidence, and a nourishing routine that feels manageable, empowering, and tailored to your brain and body.

Binge Eating Disorder

Binge eating disorder can feel overwhelming and isolating. It often involves consuming large amounts of food in a short period, accompanied by feelings of loss of control, shame, or guilt.

 

These episodes may be triggered by stress, emotional distress, restrictive dieting, or patterns of disordered thinking about food and body image. Over time, binge eating can affect physical health, energy, and emotional well-being, making it difficult to maintain consistent, balanced nutrition on your own.

​

Our binge eating disorder nutrition therapists provide individualized, functional guidance to help you navigate triggers, stabilize eating patterns, and develop a healthier relationship with food. We focus on practical strategies, balanced nutrition, and emotional support to reduce shame and build confidence around meals.

​

With ​Support From a Binge Eating Disorder Nutrition Therapist, You Can: 

​

  • Manage Binge Episodes: Practical strategies to reduce urges and build structured, flexible eating patterns

  • Restore Nutrient Balance: Ensure your body gets the essential vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients it needs

  • Address Emotional Eating: Tools to navigate triggers, stress, and body image challenges

  • Create Sustainable Meal Plans: Guidance for real-life schedules, preferences, and lifestyle

  • Collaborate With Your Care Team: Coordinated support with therapists or other providers for holistic recovery

​

Recovery isn’t about perfection— it’s about understanding, patience, and steady progress. We walk alongside you on your journey, offering compassionate guidance and actionable tools so you can regain control, restore nourishment, and cultivate a more trusting, balanced relationship with your body and food.

ARFID & Avoidant Eating

ARFID Eating Disorder Treatment & Avoidant Eating Support

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is often misunderstood. It is not about body image— it is frequently rooted in sensory sensitivities, fear of adverse consequences (like choking or vomiting), low appetite, or longstanding negative food experiences.

 

Many individuals with ARFID struggle with extremely limited food variety, nutritional deficiencies, social anxiety around meals, and frustration from feeling “different” or misunderstood. Eating can feel stressful, exhausting, or even frightening rather than nourishing.

​

Our approach focuses on gradual exposure, nutritional stabilization, and building safety around food. We help expand variety gently, address deficiencies, support weight restoration when needed, and create structured, realistic plans that honor sensory boundaries while encouraging growth.

​

We ​​Help Our Clients: 

​

  • Expand Food Variety: Gentle strategies to introduce new foods while respecting sensory sensitivities

  • Prevent Nutrient Deficiencies: Ensure your body receives essential vitamins, minerals, and protein

  • Manage Mealtime Anxiety: Practical approaches for stress-free eating at home, school, or work

  • Build Confidence Around Food: Reduce fear and avoidance to create a positive relationship with meals

  • Collaborate With Your Care Team: Coordinated support with therapists or physicians for holistic recovery

​

We move carefully and respectfully, recognizing that progress with ARFID is not about pushing— it’s about building trust. Together, we create a path forward that feels steady, collaborative, and empowering, so nourishment becomes something you can approach with greater ease and confidence over time.

OCD Eating Disorder Support

When Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) overlaps with eating disorders, food can become entangled with intrusive thoughts, rigid rules, rituals, and overwhelming anxiety. You may feel compelled to eat in very specific ways, avoid certain foods due to fear-based thoughts, or repeat behaviors to reduce distress.

 

These patterns can make meals exhausting, isolating, and emotionally charged. Our team provides specialized support for clients navigating the intersection of OCD and eating disorders, helping untangle compulsions from nourishment while creating structure that feels supportive rather than restrictive.

​

With Guidance From Our Functional Dietitians, You Can Experience: 

​

  • Address Compulsive Eating Behaviors: Strategies to manage ritualized or repetitive eating patterns

  • Reduce Anxiety Around Food: Tools to navigate intrusive thoughts and fears related to meals

  • Restore Balanced Nutrition: Focus on essential nutrients and meal regularity to support body and mind

  • Build Sustainable Eating Habits: Practical approaches for real-life meals without rigid rules

  • Coordinate With Your Care Team: Integrating support with therapists, psychiatrists, or other providers

​​

You deserve care that understands both the mental and physical layers of what you’re experiencing. We offer steady, thoughtful guidance to help reduce fear around food, ease compulsive patterns, and rebuild a sense of calm and safety at meals— so eating can become less about anxiety and more about steady nourishment and self-trust.

Depression and Eating Disorders

Depression can significantly impact eating patterns, appetite, motivation, and energy levels. Some individuals may experience loss of appetite and restrictive intake, while others may turn to food for comfort or experience irregular eating cycles.

 

Low mood, fatigue, and feelings of hopelessness can make meal planning, grocery shopping, or even preparing simple meals feel overwhelming. When depression and eating disorders intersect, nutrition often becomes inconsistent, further affecting energy, brain function, and emotional stability.

 

Our team provides specialized support to help stabilize nourishment while addressing the emotional weight that can accompany both conditions.

​

We Can Help You:​​

​

  • Support Mood Through Nutrition: Incorporate nutrients that promote brain health, energy, and emotional stability

  • Address Disordered Eating Patterns: Practical strategies for bingeing, restriction, or irregular meal timing

  • Build Consistent Eating Habits: Tools to reduce stress and guilt around meals

  • Collaborate With Therapists & Providers: Integrated support for both mental health and nutrition

  • Enhance Recovery Resilience: Focused, functional strategies to support long-term physical and emotional well-being

​

We approach this work with patience and deep compassion, understanding that even small steps can feel monumental during depression. Our goal is to gently support you in restoring consistent nourishment, rebuilding energy, and creating sustainable routines—so your relationship with food becomes a source of stability rather than another burden to carry.

Autism Eating Disorders

Autism can shape eating habits in deeply individual ways. Sensory sensitivities to texture, temperature, smell, or appearance may limit food variety, while strong preferences for routine can make changes to meals feel distressing.

 

Some individuals experience heightened anxiety around unfamiliar foods, difficulty recognizing hunger and fullness cues, or challenges with interoception that affect consistent nourishment. When autism and eating disorders overlap, these factors can intensify restrictive patterns, nutritional gaps, and social stress around meals.

 

Our team provides specialized support that respects sensory needs, routine preferences, and neurodivergent communication styles while helping build sustainable nutrition habits.

​

Our Guidance Helps Clients: 

​

  • Address Selective Eating & Sensory Sensitivities: Gentle approaches to broaden food variety while respecting texture, taste, or smell preferences

  • Ensure Nutrient Adequacy: Targeting vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients for physical and cognitive health

  • Manage Mealtime Anxiety: Tools to reduce stress, rigidity, and discomfort around eating

  • Support Routine & Structure: Practical strategies to make meal prep, planning, and eating predictable and manageable

  • Collaborate With Your Care Team: Coordinated support alongside therapists, occupational therapists, or other providers

​

We honor the way your brain and body process the world, offering practical guidance that feels supportive rather than overwhelming. Together, we move at a pace that prioritizes safety, autonomy, and steady progress— so nourishment becomes something that works with your neurodivergence, not against it.

Male Eating Disorders

Male eating disorders are often underrecognized, which can make seeking support feel even more isolating. Cultural expectations around masculinity, strength, and body image may lead men to internalize struggles with food, muscle size, leanness, or performance without feeling permitted to ask for help.

 

Symptoms can present differently, sometimes focusing more on muscle gain, body fat reduction, or excessive exercise rather than traditional weight-loss narratives. This can delay diagnosis and treatment, even as physical and emotional health are impacted. Our team provides specialized support that acknowledges these unique pressures while addressing the underlying patterns affecting your relationship with food and body.

 

We Can Help You: ​​

​

  • Address Muscle-Focused or Restrictive Eating Patterns: Guidance for concerns around leanness, strength, or weight goals

  • Restore Nutrient Balance & Energy: Ensure protein, vitamins, and minerals support physical health, hormonal function, and mental well-being

  • Manage Emotional & Body Image Challenges: Tools to navigate stigma, shame, or pressure around appearance

  • Create Sustainable Eating Habits: Practical, flexible strategies for real-life schedules and preferences

  • Collaborate With Your Care Team: Integrated support with therapists, physicians, or other providers

​

You deserve care that sees beyond stereotypes and meets you as an individual. We offer grounded, respectful support to help you rebuild trust in your body, restore balanced nourishment, and move forward with strength that is rooted in health— not pressure or shame.
