Our work together will begin with a 60-75 minute initial session. This is where we will get to know each other, start to uncover your relationship with food and your body, and better understand what you hope to get out of our work together. The initial session will include an in depth assessment, where we may explore your food and dieting history, body image concerns, medical and mental health history and symptoms, sleep patterns, exercise/movement, stress levels, eating habits, and more. As we discuss where you have been and where you are now, we’ll begin to unravel the “why” behind your eating and health concerns. Essentially, this is a time for us to get to know you and your needs, and learn how we can best support you. The goal of this initial assessment is to start to develop a big picture plan for our work, which we’ll collaboratively develop in our first session or two.
Follow-up sessions are where most of the “work” will take place, and will focus on introducing tools and strategies to help you move towards your goals, working through barriers, and unpacking challenging experiences, turning them into opportunities for growth. What we work on will depend on your needs, but may include learning flexible meal planning tools, tools for building a stronger connection to your body, unlearning diet rules, coping strategies, and gentle nutrition support for health concerns. Along with nutrition counseling and Intuitive Eating, we pull from a variety of modalities in our treatment approach, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Based Therapy (FBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). If you are working with a therapist, we love to collaborate with them so you can better integrate the work you’re doing in therapy into the food, eating and body image realm.
As we build a relationship, we hope to create a safe and supportive space for you to continue to explore your relationship with food and your body and build capacity and resources for growth and change. New clients may wonder how many sessions are needed. That will depend on your goals, health status, readiness to change, what support systems you have in place, and where your relationship with food currently stands. It is challenging to predict, but we are here for you as long as you find value in our sessions and need support. After purchasing an initial consultation, you may purchase follow up sessions individually, or in packages, which include discounted follow-up sessions. Once you have completed a follow up package, you may renew, change to a different package, or move to scheduling individual sessions.

“I came to Rachael when I was completely exhausted with constant restriction, yo-yo dieting and being controlled by the food police in my head. I felt like I was living in a prison that I built myself. During our time together, Rachael has showed me what freedom looks like—freedom with food and with myself. She consistently listens to what I have to say and validates every emotion, good or bad, and gently guides me with sound advice. She is always willing to talk about whatever is on my mind and has a way of making me feel understood in moments when I used to feel crazy. I’m immensely thankful for my time with her and will forever be grateful to her for showing me that a life free from restriction + agony over food is completely possible.”
