Working Together

Initial Assessment

• Our 90-minute intake session provides a thorough opportunity to dive deep into your medical history, current struggles, and overall well-being. During this session, we’ll explore key topics that shape your relationship with food and body, including:

  • Body image and self-perception

  • Clothing shopping history

  • Your relationship with food throughout life

  • Family dynamics and food-related beliefs

  • Past diet history and its impact

  • Mental health history and its connection to eating behaviors

  Together, we’ll collaborate to achieve goals and objectives set forth by your dietitian that will guide our work together, ensuring a personalized and effective approach to nutrition therapy and healing.

Building Trust through Continued Follow Ups

• At a frequency that we decide together, we will meet routinely to discuss your progress and ongoing work toward your goals. During these follow-up sessions, we’ll address:

  • Roadblocks and challenges you may be facing

  • Medical conditions that may arise and treatment in place from your team

  • Eating disorder behaviors and related urges

  • Any other relevant situations or information you wish to share

  Regular follow-ups allow us to adjust our goal strategies and recommendations as needed, ensuring a personalized and effective approach to your eating disorder recovery.

Collaborative Care: Partnering with Your Treatment Team

• A cohesive team of healthcare providers is essential for successful recovery. At Note to Self Nutrition, we believe that care coordination is key to providing the best support for our clients. With your consent, we are happy to communicate with your other healthcare providers—such as your therapist, psychiatrist, medical doctor (PCP), or specialists—to ensure consistent, holistic care throughout your journey.

Continued Support

• At Note to Self Nutrition, our goal is not to keep you on our caseload longer than necessary. We believe in empowering you to grow and make lasting changes, challenging diet culture along the way. Our aim is to help you develop the skills and confidence to navigate life without needing constant support. However, we also understand that for some, eating disorder recovery and healing is a lifelong journey, and we are always here to offer continued support when you need it.

• Whether it’s weeks, months, or even years down the road, we welcome you back without shame or guilt. If you find yourself in a difficult situation or need additional guidance, we are here to help you reconnect with yourself and continue on your path to food freedom and body liberation.

• As our work together progresses, we will regularly revisit the frequency and length of sessions to ensure that the level of support remains both medically appropriate and comfortable for you. Our approach is always flexible and focused on meeting your unique needs, whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or looking for ongoing care.
