Nutrition Therapy

Red Bank, New Jersey

Nutrition therapy in eating disorders care is unique and necessitates treatment from a highly specialized, compassionate registered dietitian specialist.

Because eating disorders are complex, your dietitian must deeply understand the thoughts and feelings beneath the eating disorder behaviors.

Our expert dietitians apply evidence-based research and science to help you better connect with your body and core values. They achieve this through lenses of intuitive eating, Health at Every SizeTM, and motivational interviewing, with the goal of 100% recovery. They are also skilled in various types of meal planning, including the exchange system, the plate-by-plate approach, and the rules of 3's. And if needed, they will work alongside you to ensure comfort in various environments, including meals at restaurants, events, school/work, and different households.

We aim to help you comfortably eat foods without fear, guilt, or anxiety. Although there are commonalities among individuals with eating disorders, nutrition therapy at BeginWithin is unique to everyone who seeks our care.

OUR APPROACH

We believe full recovery is possible.

The first session will take approximately 60 minutes and includes an in-depth nutrition assessment to help your dietitian learn what brings you to BeginWithin and to understand what you would like to focus on in treatment. This initial session is also an opportunity to get to know your dietitian and ask questions or express your concerns. Then, in the follow-up sessions, your dietitian will help you develop insight into the functions your disordered eating plays, help you better understand the role food plays in your physical and mental quality of life, and gently challenge your food and weight-related beliefs and behaviors.

Whether you are processing the origins of your complex relationship with food and your body, challenging a "fear food", practicing being comfortable eating socially, having body image struggles, or any other food or body-related recovery goal, we are here to work alongside you and support you every step of the way. We believe full recovery is possible. We meet each client where they are and help them take one step at a time on their recovery journey.
