What is it?

Individualized nutrition counseling sessions tailored to each individual's unique nutritional needs and their personal relationship with food. Individuals will explore their past history of dieting and will assess how this may be affecting current eating patterns. Nutrition education, counseling and motivational interviewing are provided by meeting you where you are at in your readiness to change and helping you to set personal health goals that are meaningful for you. 

What to Expect in an Initial Assessment:

An initial assessment is 60-90 minutes and, during that time, your dietitian will gather information related to your past and current relationship with food, specific food-related concerns and behaviors, whether or not you have met with a dietitian in the past, medical history, medications you may be on, a typical day of eating, and what you hope to get out of meeting with a dietitian. This is also your opportunity to learn more about your dietitian and the non-diet approach.

What to Expect in Follow-Up Sessions:

Follow-up sessions are 60 minutes and consist of looking into a more detailed day of eating. Your dietitian will get an idea of what your typical day looks like and whether or not specific parts of your day are more challenging than others (ex. skipping breakfast or binging in the evenings). During this session, you and your dietitian can create an individualized meal plan if desired and will discuss specific goals that you would like to be working on in between sessions.
