Say what?!
Less than 6% of people with eating disorders are medically diagnosed as “underweight” AND BIPOC with eating disorders are half as likely to be diagnosed or to receive treatment.
We believe that recovery is a social justice issue.
That's why we are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive space for ALL of our clients, regardless of their age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or body size.
What our clients are saying...
"I have been in active recovery for almost a year now. I have jumped from many different treatment teams as I worked my way to a better relationship with food.
When I got to outpatient, I looked through many dietitian's websites before I found Heather. I am so happy that she was who I went with, as her charismatic personality and session style makes me feel supported and met where I am in my journey.
She is open and honest with me when there are things I need to work on in a way that does not make me feel as though I did something wrong.
I have enjoyed the time I have gotten to work with Heather, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to heal their relationship with food."

You don't have to do this alone
It can be tempting to try to go through eating disorder recovery on your own.
But, this won't help address the complex and individualized nature of disordered eating and can actually contribute to further disordered eating patterns and a negative relationship with food.
It's OKAY to seek help and support in your recovery journey.

Frequently asked questions
Where is your office located?
All sessions are held via a HIPAA compliant virtual call.
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.
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.
How do I book an appointment?
To request an appointment please call 404-999-3149 or email info@confidentlynourished.co. You can also fill out the request an appointment form here
Do you take insurance?
Currently, we are in-network with United Healthcare, BCBS, Highmark, Cigna 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.
