Nutrition Care for Kids, Teens, and Families
Food and body image challenges in childhood and adolescence can be complex — and they affect the whole family. We provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children and teens experiencing eating disorders, disordered eating, or nutrition-related health concerns.
Our clinicians specialize in helping families restore balance at the table, rebuild trust with food, and support healthy emotional and physical growth.
A Family-Centered Approach
When a child struggles with food or body image, parents often feel confused and alone. We believe families deserve clear guidance and collaborative support. Our care model blends Family-Based Treatment (FBT) principles with a trauma-informed, weight-inclusive philosophy, helping parents take an active role in their child's recovery.
We work closely with therapists, physicians, and treatment teams to ensure a coordinated and consistent approach.
Who We Support
We provide care for:
Children and teens with eating disorders or disordered eating behaviors
Families navigating food battles, mealtime stress, or body changes
Parents and caregivers seeking guidance on feeding, language, and support strategies
Pediatric patients managing chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, GI issues, PCOS) alongside food or body concerns
Young athletes struggling with under-fueling or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)
Common Concerns We Address
Fear of weight gain or changes in body shape
Restrictive or selective eating (including ARFID)
Food refusal, sensory sensitivities, or limited variety
Emotional eating, bingeing, or secretive behaviors
Growth stagnation or weight loss in children
Family tension or power struggles around meals
Anxiety, perfectionism, or rigidity around food choices
How We Help
We support both children and parents in developing trust and confidence around food. Sessions may include:
Gentle nutrition guidance focused on growth, energy, and recovery
Structured meal support and exposure to new foods
Parent coaching for consistent, calm mealtimes
Psychoeducation on body development and nourishment
Collaborative goal setting that centers compassion over control
Our work helps families find balance — bringing curiosity and calm back to the table.
Support for Parents & Caregivers
Parents are essential to recovery. We offer:
Education on child and teen nutrition, growth, and development
Guidance on feeding dynamics and how to respond to fear or resistance
Emotional support for parents navigating worry, frustration, or guilt
Tools to help families communicate with less conflict and more confidence
When families feel supported, children heal faster and sustain progress longer.
Healing Together
We know how brave it is to reach out for help. Our role is to make recovery feel possible — one small, supported step at a time. Together, we'll help your child feel safer with food, more confident in their body, and more connected to the joy of eating again.
Healthy growth begins with safety, compassion, and trust — and no family has to do it alone.
