Counseling

"The experience I have had at Behavioral Nutrition has been life changing. I have struggled with compulsive over eating for years and have tried all the popular diets, and even had seen a nutritionist but it never worked. Why? Because while all of these deal with how you eat, they never deal with why you eat. Behavioral Nutrition combines both psychotherapy and nutrition counseling for a combination that is sure to work for anyone looking to change their life. Learning about what makes me turn to food and learning to control that has had a huge impact on my daily lifestyle. I have learned self control and working with a therapist, I have been successful in a huge overhaul of my previous bad eating habits. This is the place to go if you want to truly get a handle on any sort of issues with eating, nutrition and making those lifestyle changes you have promised yourself over and over again you would make."

"As parents, one of the most terrifying and frightening words to hear are: your child has an eating disorder. Usually by the time it is diagnosed the symptoms have reached a crisis point and immediate intervention is needed. When our child was diagnosed we had to scramble for treatment. So many questions, so many different suggestions from the professionals…it was truly a confusing and frightening experience. After exploring other local ED facilities and speaking with their coordinators it became apparent that Behavioral Nutrition Inc. offers a very unique and individualized treatment alternative. From the first moment we spoke with Nicole on the phone we felt reassured our child would be in the best of hands. She thoughtfully and patiently explained the process of intake, assessment and treatment. She answered and re-answered our questions. We were treated with dignity. The physical layout is most conducive to healing as it doesn’t have the cold clinical layout associated with most facilities. The center represents a holistic and peaceful presence. This was a major plus for our child who had never been treated. Nicole and our dietician Jenna put together a plan of treatment that made sense and addressed our anxieties and uncertainties. A medication evaluation was readily available. We believe it was this specialized care that made all the difference as our child wasn’t treated as a number. When our insurance company attempted to restrict the amount of treatment days, Nicole went to bat for us and secured the treatment that was needed. Our child is now entering the recovery phase and continues with aftercare at Behavioral Nutrition Inc. The regular visits with her dietician and therapist have been essential which is addressed during the admission process by Nicole and her team. We will be eternally grateful that Nicole, Jenna and Behavioral Nutrition were there for us in our time of need."

It is not always easy to realize, recognize and accept that sometimes life presents to us situations, circumstance or people that we just can’t overcome alone. I know for myself seeking a therapist was something I needed and could benefit from but my strong will and confident ego led me to believe I could overcome my issues alone. After numerous attempts ending in failure, repetition of the same cyclic pattern and friends I burdened with the weight of my issues. I finally decided enough was enough and realized I can’t do this alone without the help of therapy. I completed a simple google search and came across behavioral nutrition. I was very nervous, a little resistant and feeling vulnerable but once I finished my first session with the counselor I knew I had made the right choice! The biggest mistake one can make is to settle with feelings of unhappiness or like the issues you may be battling you can’t overcome because you can! Anything is possible and life is what you make it!
