Your Child
Families play an essential role in treatment. I will work with your family to keep you informed and provide ways you can best support your loved one. Some teens find it helpful when family members attend sessions and at times this is recommended to provide the best care. Together we determine the appropriate level of involvement that fits your family.
I have worked with numerous families over the years and family nutrition is one of my favorite parts of this work. My goal is to help families to create a definition of health that incorporates body, mind, and spirit.
Adolescent Eating Disorder
When your child is diagnosed with an eating disorder it can be one of the most frightening times in your life. I am here to support you and your family on the return to health.
The earlier a child receives treatment for an eating disorder the better the long-term outcomes. In fact, risks of relapse decrease significantly if eating disorders are treated while a teenager. Eating disorders are best treated with a team of individuals including a registered dietitian, therapist, and doctor. If your loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, please reach out. I am happy to help you find the treatment he or she needs. If your child is in a higher level of care and you would like nutrition assistance during a transition or return to the home, please contact me. Family support is a huge protective factor in recovery. Mitola nutrition offers numerous services for teens and their families to make recovery a possibility.
