Teen Nutrition

Is your teen...

• Confused about what, when, and how much to eat? 

• Dieting or following a food trend like eating 'clean' or 'going vegan'?

• Over-eating at times and under-eating at other times? 

• Managing both stress and perfectionism? 

• Unhappy with their size and shape? 

• Unsure about how to fuel their body for sports?

• Or, is your teen a very picky eater?      

WE CAN HELP!

How We Work With Teens:

~ We work with teens individually but include PARENTS every step of the way.

~ Our treatment approach is INDIVIDUALIZED and based on sound, EVIDENCED-BASED ADOLESCENT NUTRITION.

~ To be truly effective, we combine nutrition counseling with other therapeutic models (where appropriate), which include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Intuitive and Interoceptive Eating, mindfulness based therapies, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).  

~ If your teen has an EATING DISORDER we will come up with an individualized treatment plan. This may include Family Based Treatment, which you can learn about here.

~ If your teen needs more support, we have a great referral network of adolescent professionals around the DC metropolitan area.
