Healing Happens in Community
At Actualize Counseling & Nutrition, we believe healing isn’t just about willpower—it’s about being seen, supported, and held in safe relationship. Our collaborative model was born from years of working side-by-side as therapists and dietitians, learning that true transformation happens when mind and body care come together.
Whether you’re working through anxiety, food and body struggles, or childhood wounds—we’re here to walk with you. No judgment, no one-size-fits-all plans—just thoughtful, integrative care tailored to your story.
Your Collaborative Care Team
A dedicated group of therapists and dietitians working together to support your emotional, physical, and mental well-being—every step of the way.
Therapist
Therapy for trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, body image distress, childhood trauma, and emotional neglect. We integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and a host of other evidence-based approaches to support long-term healing.
Dietitian
Gentle nutrition support from a non-diet, weight-inclusive lens. Specializing in eating disorder recovery, intuitive eating, food freedom, ARFID, diabetes, and other medical nutrition concerns.
Collaborative Care
An integrated team of dietitians and therapists who meet weekly to coordinate care for shared clients. Our approach blends emotional safety and nervous system-informed recovery for eating disorders.

What can I expect in my first session?
Your first session will focus on understanding your story, your goals, and your needs. Whether meeting with a therapist or dietitian, we’ll take the time to build connection and explore what’s been holding you back so we can move forward with clarity.
Do I have to work with both a therapist and a dietitian?
Not necessarily. Some clients work with just one provider depending on their needs. That said, many clients benefit from our integrated model, especially when navigating both emotional and physical challenges like disordered eating, anxiety, or trauma.
What makes your approach different?
We believe that true healing happens when care is connected. Our therapists and dietitians work together behind the scenes—coordinating your treatment so you get consistent, thoughtful support for your whole self.
Is this a good fit for me if I’ve tried therapy or nutrition counseling before?
Yes. Many of our clients come to us after feeling frustrated with disconnected or one-size-fits-all care. Our team prioritizes relationship, safety, and personalization. We’ll meet you exactly where you are and move at your pace.
