What is the full life?
Body Neutrality | Health at Every Size | Anti-Diet | Eating Disorder Recovery
Here at The Full Life, we believe that all people deserve to feel good about food, bodies, and taking care of themselves. We believe that seeking the full life is a journey unique to every individual, and we are honored to get to take that journey with you.
​
We treat disordered eating for people as young as 10 and as old as 110. We will work with you to challenge behaviors like restriction, bingeing, purging, excessive exercise, and extreme pickiness. We are committed to providing the best care that exists - using the full spectrum of evidence-based strategies, solid counseling, nutrition education, and giving you the space to explore your own relationship to food and your body.
​
We're a good fit if you are ready to invest some time and energy into challenging unhelpful beliefs, shifting your behaviors, and pursuing trust and intuition with your body and authentic self. We're going to ditch diet culture, heal your relationship with your body, and make food enjoyable again.
​
The reality is that dieting and disordered eating rupture our peace with eating and feeling good in our body. The pressure to eat perfectly or exercise constantly can pull us away from our body's innate wisdom. You are capable of living a life with more love for yourself, more respect for your body, and more freedom to nourish all aspects of your humanity. You deserve good things - you deserve to feel good in your body.
Our practice has lots of experience working with kids over the age of ten, teenagers, young adults, or with caregivers who have young children with ARFID, but all are welcome to work with our team and start living the full life.
​
We are in network with Aetna and Cigna and out of network for all other insurance companies at this time. See our FAQ page for more information about how to use your insurance benefits even if we are out of network!

Individualized Nutritional Counseling
Work with a dietitian individually to address specific concerns related to your eating patterns, relationship with food, body image, relationship with exercise, and more. Our team has years of experience in the field of disordered eating and uses multiple treatment modalities and approaches to help you improve your wellbeing.
Group Meal Support
Weekly meal support for young adults (ages 16-22) held via a secure video platform. Lead by Gretchen, this group aims to challenge disordered thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs at the table as the meal is occurring. This group is best for those looking to add a little support to outpatient work, but who are not needing a higher level of care. A new cohort is starting
September 28th for college students - please let us know if you
would like to participate!
Educational Opportunities
Are you looking for someone to speak to your classroom, team, or club? Do you need someone to discuss risks or identification of eating disorders with your workplace or a group of parents? Are you a dietitian hoping to get supervision in the treatment of adolescent eating disorders or with your work with families? We can help!
