Nutrition & disordered eating assessment in ny

Food, body image, and health are deeply connected—especially in adolescence and young adulthood. This service offers a careful, respectful evaluation of a young person’s relationship to food and their body, the impact on daily life, and what supports will help most. Care is collaborative, non-judgmental, and paced to be sustainable.

What the assessment covers

We review growth trends and medical history, current eating patterns, GI and energy concerns, sleep and stress, activity levels, and co-occurring issues like anxiety or low mood. Family context matters: we listen for routines, pressures, and supports that shape eating and self-image. When appropriate, labs and medical monitoring help us follow safety and progress.

Your plan

Together we map out clear next steps: restoring regular nutrition, reducing risky behaviors, and building skills for everyday situations (meals at home, school, sports, social events). Plans may include coordination with a registered dietitian, therapist, and—when indicated—psychiatry, along with school or athletics accommodations. Follow-ups keep momentum, adjust goals, and celebrate wins.

How we work

Expect calm, private conversation with space for both the young person and the family. We balance medical guidance with functional strategies around routines, sleep, stress, and movement—focusing on changes that can stick. If higher levels of care are needed, we help coordinate a smooth transition.

When to seek urgent help

Seek immediate care if there are signs of medical instability, self-harm risk, or rapid deterioration (e.g., fainting, chest pain, persistent vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, severe restriction). In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support.
