Eating disorders can severely harm a person’s body and mind. It’s vital to seek help from a qualified eating disorder dietitian, like those at NW Pediatric & Family Nutrition. We can provide guidance, support, and treatment for disordered eating to heal your relationship with food. If you or someone you know has an eating issue, we can help with personalized nutrition care.
Treatment Options
Treatment for eating disorder behaviors, such as binge eating disorder, typically involves a combination of psychological therapies, nutrition counseling, and medical interventions. A registered dietitian is key to disordered eating treatment. We specialize in the nutritional needs of people with eating disorders.
A registered dietitian nutritionist can help create a healthy eating plan. It should restore weight, improve well-being, fix any nutrient deficiencies, and heal your relationship with food. We can help people identify and respond to triggers. We can also help them develop coping skills and support their recovery.
Sheila’s Story
We were lucky to be recommended to NW Pediatric. Katharine Jeffcoat has proven to be the best we have found in the region for children and nutrition. She has helped us through tough times with our family’s food related issues. She is great at tracking progress and makes meaningful suggestions for the future. She is easy to work with and also collaborates with other providers in our team. I cannot recommend her enough.
