Eating Disorder Nutrition Support

Compassionate, individualized, support for healing your relationship with food and body.

Nutrition counseling for eating disorders is so much more than meal plans and numbers. At EmbodyED NW, it’s about helping you reconnect with your body, rebuild trust with food, and create a life beyond rigid rules and shame.

Our approach is rooted in trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, and non-diet principles. We believe that healing happens when we hold space for your unique experiences and move at a pace that honors your needs.

Is Nutrition Counseling Right For You?

We support:

  • Adolescents, teens, and adults struggling with eating disorders (AN, BN, BED, ARFID, OSFED, and more)

  • Individuals in early recovery or stepping down from higher levels of care

  • Those with long-term disordered eating or chronic dieting history

  • Parents and caregivers who want guidance on supporting their child’s relationship with food

  • Clients in recovery maintenance needing ongoing encouragement

  • People new to healing who want structured, compassionate support

  • Teens and college students navigating recovery in school or dorm settings

  • Adults managing food and body challenges alongside careers, parenting, or caregiving

  • Neurodivergent individuals who benefit from extra structure or practical check-ins

  • LGBTQ+ individuals looking for affirming, nonjudgmental support

  • People in rural areas or without access to eating disorder–informed providers

  • Individuals who may feel that the “typical” eating disorder treatment isn’t working for them or doesn’t resonate.

  • Those with chronic health conditions (e.g., Type 1 Diabetes, MCAS, Autoimmune disease, LADA, Lyme Disease, etc.) that want a better relationship with food and their body.

You do not need a diagnosis to receive support. Curiosity and a desire to heal are a wonderful place to begin.

How Is This Different?

Unlike standard “wellness” advice, we provide comprehensive, individualized, nutrition care for each client. Our approach is:

  • Non-diet & HAES®-aligned: We do not use restrictive diets or focus on weight loss.

  • Collaborative: You are the expert on your lived experience. We’ll work together as a team.

  • Compassionate & individualized: No one-size-fits-all plans or shaming tactics.

  • Science-based & trauma-informed: We integrate clinical expertise and evidence-based practices while honoring your emotional safety.

At EmbodyED NW, Nutrition Counseling:

  • Addresses disordered eating behaviors and food fears

  • Supports medical and nutritional stabilization when needed

  • Integrates gentle nutrition without perfection or restriction

  • Focuses on body image work and body trust rebuilding

  • Helps you challenge diet culture, all-or-nothing thinking, and harmful food rules

  • Centers your values, lived experience, and overall wellbeing — not weight or appearance

  • Understands the complexity of additional medical diagnoses and the integration of complex health issues with eating disorder recovery.

What is Included?

1 : 1 Nutrition Support

Clients meet with their Nutritionist either virtually or in-person.

  • Review of bloodwork and/or additional medical testing to ensure optimal client health and well-being.

You do not need a diagnosis to receive support. Curiosity and a desire to heal are a wonderful place to begin.

FAQs

  • No. Many of our clients come to us without a formal diagnosis — and that’s okay. You might be struggling with chronic dieting, binge eating, body image distress, or a complicated relationship with food. If you’re curious about healing and want support, you’re welcome here.

  • Unfortunately, insurance does not cover our Nutrition services at this time. We do offer sliding scale spots for clients with financial need, and we will provide a superbill for clients who want them for tax purposes.

  • We cannot issue refunds for services rendered. However, if you feel that working with us is no longer a good fit, we will issue a refund for any pre-paid sessions.

    To cancel a session without penalty, we require 24 hours notice prior to the session. This also applies to any requests for refunds.

    If a session is not cancelled within the 24 hour window, the clinician will attempt to reschedule the session within a reasonable timeframe. At EmbodyED NW, we understand life can be unexpected; therefore, each client is granted one “pass” where they are able to reschedule a missed session (or a late cancellation) without penalty.

  • Yes! We strongly encourage a team approach when possible. Nutrition counseling can complement therapy beautifully. We’re also happy to collaborate with your therapist or other providers to ensure you receive the most supportive, coordinated care.

  • When virtual support isn’t ideal, we offer in-person sessions at our office in Camas, WA.

    EmbodyED NW recovery coaches also provide in-person recovery support for exercise, meal-time, clothes shopping, and/or grocery shopping in the Clark County region.

  • Absolutely. We often include family members, partners, or caregivers in sessions if it feels supportive and appropriate. Family involvement can be especially helpful for adolescents and teens.
