A New Journey's staff of dietitians specialize in anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and disordered eating. Through individual counseling, group education, cooking experiential, restaurant outings and urban gardening, science based nutrition research is emphasized as guidance to promote health and awareness.

Not every individual suffering from an eating disorder is in the same place as another. Each client's care begins with a complete client assessment, followed by an evaluation of their individual nutritional needs and, as indicated, assigned a starting point meal plan. In addition, a treatment plan is personalized according to independent need and structure. This is provided as a tool to assist clients in developing healthy eating habits and relationships with food. Individual sessions provide a client with opportunities to discuss food related issues, set weekly nutrition goals and receive personalized nutrition recommendations.

Our dietitians' understand the true essence of Intuitive Eating, by empowering our clients to listen to their body's cues as a way to naturally guide eating. A New Journey highlights the importance of reconnecting the mind-body experience through mindful eating practices with the purpose of becoming aware of biological hunger versus emotional hunger, as well as the environmental factors that influence eating. Gaining a healthy relationship with food is a huge milestone to attaining one's needs as well as the road to recovery.
