Hi, I’m Heather Lasco

I’m the founder/director of Confidently NourishED and a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping people heal their relationship with food and their body.

Like many dietitians, I went to my college program to learn more about nutrition to partially help others but really “cure myself.”

One day I landed upon an intuitive eating post on Instagram and the rest was history.(Easier said than done) I spiraled into years of working on healing my own disordered relationship with food and body. And it’s always a work in progress! (I will never lie to anyone about that.)

Once I was able to work with others it became my mission to help everyone get the treatment they deserve, to not be overlooked, and to be taken seriously regardless of how they present themselves when it comes to their mental health and eating disorder treatment.

I’m a member and ally of the LGBTQ+ community. I also dedicate energy to other substance abuse and recovery spaces, being I am proudly 2+ years sober.

Q

Hi everyone! My name is Lindsay

My journey towards a profession in dietetics stemmed from a place of perfectionism. The search for a perfect diet and my in-depth nutrition education further ingrained my black and white thinking, fueled my fears, and reinforced my restrictive behaviors.

After graduating with my BS in Nutrition, I stumbled upon an intuitive eating podcast and instantly saw a new door leading towards a freedom I couldn’t fathom. Fast forward to now, after a couple of years of self- work I’ve found peace with food, practice food freedom, and strive to expose diet culture jargon in any shape it comes in. I realize we all have our own journeys and no two paths look the same.

I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and working towards their goals of healing their relationships with food and their bodies in ways that best support their paths. I am committed to providing an open, non- judgmental environment that offers inclusive and compassionate care with HAES and intuitive eating concepts as the backbone of counseling. I acknowledge and see my privileges as a white, cis gender female and advocate for those spanning the umbrella of intersectionalities to receive equal quality care. You’re the driver and I’m the passenger ready to take a road trip with you through this path called life.

Outside of Confidently NourishED you can find me reading, listening to podcasts, knitting multicolored throws, playing in my garden, beekeeping, frolicking in the outdoors, and sitting at the new restaurant that opened in town.

Frequently Asked Questions

K
L
Where is your office located?

All sessions are held via HIPAA compliant Zoom.

How Is Nutrition Therapy Different From Psychotherapy?

As a registered dietitian providing nutrition therapy we will focus on food, weight, body image, and physical activity. We will also explore mindsets that are keeping you from living a healthful, balanced life. During nutrition therapy we will seek alternatives to the diet thought patterns and behaviors that are not serving you. Throughout this whole process you will also begin to develop awareness around your personal needs and learn how to respond to your internal cues regarding food. Psychotherapy with your therapist will focus more on the underlying issues fueling the eating problems, dealing with past and present relationships, feelings, trauma history, any other co-occurring disorders, etc.

K
L
How Often Will We Meet?

The frequency and duration of our sessions will depend on the severity, complexity, and level of support you need. This will be determined during our initial session. However, nutrition therapy is not a one and done type of deal. Depending on your case we may work together for 3, 6, or 12+ months. Most of my clients start meeting weekly and eventually taper off to every other week.

Do you take insurance?

Currently, we are in-network with United Healthcare, and Aetna. If you have another insurance provider with out-of-network benefits for medical nutrition therapy, we can provide you with a super bill to submit for reimbursement. However, you are responsible for paying for services upfront at the time of visit. Reimbursement of services through your insurance is not guaranteed. For more directions on how to verify if we take your insurance plan or if you have out-of-network benefits please look over our benefits check handout.

Do You Accept HSA & FSA?

I do accept Health Savings & Flexible Spending Accounts. Please bring your card to our first visit.

Do You See Clients In Eating Disorder Recovery?

I do work virtually with individuals with eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and OSFED. We can only accept clients at an outpatient level of care, however we are happy to help refer you to other resources and levels of care if needed. With our work together being virtual it is important you check in with other providers to have labs taken, any meds adjusted, your weight checked (if needed), etc. as determined appropriate for your recovery. Prior to us working together I would be happy to help you establish a treatment team including a therapist, physician, and psychiatrist if you do not already have one. Depending on the level of support you need and the stage of recovery you are in, we may need to meet for check ins twice a week, weekly, or bi-weekly. I also offer virtual meal support and food exposure sessions.
