Nutritional Counseling is a collaborative process where you work with a dietitian to better understand your relationship with food, learn your thoughts and values related to food and your body, and correlate how self-care affects the whole body. Nutritional counseling improves self-awareness through science-based education as well as increased mindfulness about yourself and your habits. The potential outcome from nutrition sessions is that you learn to feel in charge of your food choices and your own body. You may enjoy improved mood and increased energy as a result. Other goals or results (depending on what issues are being addressed) include: discovering how to incorporate a variety of wholesome foods in moderation, experiencing metabolic recovery, reversing symptoms of malnutrition, learning to rely on internal cues of hunger and fullness, and learning to eat nutritious meals while also enjoying them.
Our dietitians have specialized training and experience treating a wide variety of medical and nutritional issues. They offer the following services:
Our mental health therapists are equipped to treat a variety of issues including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, addiction, relationship struggles, college students, ADHD, OCD, parenting, behavior issues, chronic pain, divorce, anger management, geriatrics, and more!
