Choosing a dietitian can be very difficult so show yourself a lot of self-compassion and grace in the process. Check to make sure that the dietitian has experience in the specific area you are looking for. This is especially important for the treatment of eating disorders. To find out more about our dietitian’s experience, check out the “About” page. Another very important factor to consider is how you feel about the dietitian. The dietitian needs to be a good fit for you. Working with your dietitian, you should feel heard, safe, and comfortable. Research shows that a positive relationship with your clinician is one of the most predictive factors of success so it is important that you like the clinician you are working with. Be choosy, shop around, and trust your instincts. Prior to requesting an appointment, we offer 15 minute free clarity calls so that you can get a feel for your clinician and ask any questions you may have.

Our dietitians can help you assess the level of care that you need to treat your eating disorder. We are an outpatient practice. “At the outpatient level of care, the individual lives at home and attends weekly sessions at the office of the provider. The individual is medically stable and has fair to good motivation for recovery. Eating disorder behaviors are well-managed and the individual is self-sufficient in meeting nutritional needs. The outpatient treatment team should include a psychologist/therapist, registered dietitian, primary care physician, psychiatrist, and family therapist. The outpatient providers should be specialized in eating disorder treatment and work collaboratively with one another.” - source
