Nutrition Therapy

At Shoreline, high-quality, client-centered care provides the basis for our holistic treatment. We address mental, physical, and emotional needs and view each client as a whole person beyond their relationship with food or their eating disorder diagnosis. Our team works collaboratively with each client during the renourishment process, recognizing that clients are experts in their bodies and registered dietitians are experts in nutrition. We also acknowledge each client’s readiness for change in recovery while simultaneously challenging the eating disorder voice.

Meal plans are tailored based on each client’s needs (including any allergies), aiming to encourage food choice flexibility, and allowing each client to practice taste preference awareness. The teamwork dynamic at Shoreline fosters clients’ internal motivation and intrinsic desire to build a positive relationship with food. Through proper nutrition, experiential learning in the kitchen, food exposures, restaurant outings, nutrition group therapy, and mealtime support, we help our clients gain the necessary skills to remove fear and make peace with food.
