Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Do you take insurance?

Yes, we are in-network with most major insurance plans and can help make the process smooth and simple. Please give us a call and we’ll gladly verify your coverage and answer your questions.

How long will I need therapy or nutrition counseling?

It varies by person. Some clients see improvement in a few months, while others benefit from ongoing support. We tailor your care plan to your needs and goals.

What’s the difference between a therapist and a dietitian?

A therapist supports your mental and emotional well-being, while a dietitian focuses on your relationship with food, body, and nutrition. At Actualize, they work together to treat the whole you.

What kinds of concerns do you specialize in?

We specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, emotional eating, ARFID, perfectionism, burnout, and people-pleasing tendencies. Our integrated care helps you reconnect with your body and feel more like yourself again.
