Insurance Coverage

Prior to your visit I suggest giving your insurance company a call to review if nutrition counseling is covered on your plan. Many clients will pay $0 out of pocket. I have an insurance script for you to use that will be sent to you through my client portal.

Initial Session

Up to 85 minutes session

Each nutrition visit is individualized for your or your child’s needs. We can cover any nutrition topic on your mind, from picky eating to breastfeeding support and pre/postpartum nutrition to poor growth to eating disorders. We work together to come up with a realistic plan for you and your family, focusing on your short term and long term goals.

Follow Up Session

40 minute sessions

Each follow-up visit we will review goals that were previously set and discuss what is working for your family. We will review any lab work, necessary supplements, and diet review. I collaborate with you or your child’s medical and mental health team to make a comprehensive plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A dietitian has at least a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition from a University approved by the Accredited Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), completes an accredited year long internship and then must pass the national licensing examination to acquire the RD credentials. Dietitians are required to obtain CEUs on a regular basis in order to maintain their credentials.

    A Nutritionist includes a wide range of people and education levels. Some nutritionists may have a bachelor's degree in nutrition while some may have a certificate from a weekend program. ‘Nutritionist’ is not a regulated term. Whereas, Registered Dietitian, like Medical Doctor (MD) or Physical Therapist (PT), are regulated.

    Simply put, someone can not call themselves a dietitian if you are not credentialed as one. Whereas anyone can call themselves a nutritionist.
