Intuitive Eating Counseling

Intuitive eating is a compassionate and individualized approach that encourages a positive, nourishing relationship with food by challenging diet culture and promoting self-care.

Our counseling services provide personalized support to help you explore your unique food experiences, develop sustainable eating habits, and build a foundation of self-respect and body acceptance.

What to Expect

Our work together begins with understanding where you are on your intuitive eating journey. During the initial consultation, we’ll explore your eating history, current concerns, and goals for building a more nourishing relationship with food.

Sessions with an eating disorder dietitian:

  • Food Freedom Exploration: Breaking free from diet culture and food rules.

  • Emotional Eating Support: Addressing emotional triggers and developing coping strategies.

  • Body Respect and Acceptance: Cultivating self-compassion and body neutrality.

  • Processing Anti-Fat Bias: Identifying and challenging internalized weight stigma and cultural messages about body size.

  • Fat Liberation Advocacy: Supporting body autonomy and embracing diverse body sizes through an inclusive, weight-neutral approach.

  • Personalized Guidance: Tailoring support to fit your lifestyle and goals.
