Why choose Restored Purpose Counseling for nutrition counseling

When you're looking for support in your wellness journey, it's important to find the right fit. Here are a few reasons to consider working with our practice. If you're still not sure, we invite you to schedule a free consultation to learn more about how we can help.

We're registered dietitians.

When you choose Restored Purpose, you'll be working with a registered dietitian—not simply a "nutritionist." Registered dietitians must complete rigorous coursework and internships before passing an exam to earn their license. This ensures that you'll receive the highest quality of care.

We're well-versed in treating eating disorders.

We're dedicated to helping our clients cultivate a more peaceful relationship with food. Whether you're in recovery from anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating disorder, orthorexia, or a different eating disorder, our trained professionals are here to support you.

We recognize that health takes on many forms.

Nutrition can be a sensitive topic for anyone, especially those in eating disorder recovery. At Restored Purpose, we utilize nutrition as a tool to improve your mental and physical health, as well as your overall relationship with your body. Instead of only focusing on "optimal" health or "proper" nutrition, we help you tune into how you feel about what you're eating, too.

When Restored Purpose might not be the best fit for your needs

We also recognize that our practice may not be right for every situation. Here are some reasons that another practice may be a better fit for your unique needs.

You're only looking to lose weight.

Our dietitians recognize that a smaller body often doesn't equate to better health. Our approach to nutrition counseling is informed by non-diet, intuitive eating, and Health at Every Size® principles, so losing weight isn't at the forefront of our work. Rather, we help our clients heal their relationship with food and their bodies by helping them gain self-trust and acceptance.

You're located in a state we can't serve.

We're a team of registered dietitians who are licensed in the state of Florida, so our clients must be located in-state (with the exception of those residing in Georgia). Thankfully, our virtual services allow us to help people living across the state.

You need a higher level of care.

Eating disorders are serious conditions that can significantly impact your ability to live a healthy life. If your health is currently at risk, we encourage you to seek a higher level of care. Once you've been able to find your footing in recovery, we're happy to work with you.
