Dietetics
Our dietitians couple scientific evidence with their extensive clinical experience to dispel nutrition myths and introduce mindful and Intuitive Eating. Clients participate in group eat-out-challenges, snack-outs and other food related outings. Each individualized treatment plan targets each client’s needs through grocery-shopping outings, personal meal planning/cooking and fear food challenges. These challenges foster and expand each client’s capacity to move beyond the food-based rules that defined their eating disorder. Beyond their critical work at Avalon Hills, our dietitians actively participate in advancing the understanding and knowledge of eating disorders through invited presentations at prominent professional conferences, university dietitian programs and through community outreach.
