Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you're curious about how nutrition counseling works, wondering if we're the right fit, or want to understand more about intuitive eating - you're in the right place. Below are some common questions I receive.
-
I am currently in-network with Aetna. Sign up for the email list for updates on other insurance providers.
All other sessions are self-pay. While I offer sliding scale pricing based on income, all sliding scale spots are currently full as of 2026.
If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company for a portion of your session fee. I can provide a superbill, which is an itemized receipt that includes the information your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network claim. You would submit the superbill directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
Out-of-network coverage varies significantly between insurance plans. I recommend calling your insurance company to ask whether your plan provides out-of-network benefits for nutrition counseling or medical nutrition therapy (MNT), what your deductible and coinsurance requirements are, and whether there are any restrictions on coverage. If you have questions about this before scheduling, I am happy to guide you in this process and can be reached at the email below.

I bring together clinical nutrition, behavior science, and somatic work to support your healing. My approach is:
Weight-inclusive
Rooted in trauma-informed care
Guided by body trust and mindfulness
Harm Reductionist
Inclusive of all identities and neurotypes
My background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology and advanced trainings in:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) for Dietitians
Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT) for Dietitians
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) trainings
These frameworks help us explore not just what you eat, but why - offering tools to meet emotional and behavioral patterns with compassion and curiosity.
Together, we’ll co-create sustainable strategies that feel nourishing for your body, your mind, and your lived experience.
-
Yes. I provide outpatient support for individuals in eating disorder recovery from:
Anorexia Nervosa
Orthorexia
Bulimia Nervosa
Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
OSFED
ARFID
I also work with people experiencing chronic dieting, food guilt, or disordered eating behaviors - whether or not a diagnosis has been made.
No diagnosis is needed in order to receive support, especially if you are struggling.
-
I currently provide virtual nutrition counseling to clients in the following states:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.
Due to licensure laws, clients must physically be located in one of these states at the time of the session.
-
Nutrition counseling is clinical, and focuses on eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image concerns, and medical nutrition therapy. Insurance may reimburse you for these services, depending on your plan.
Coaching offers a non-clinical space for deepening connection to self through mindfulness, self-awareness, and intentional living. It's a perfect fit if you're seeking clarity, peace, or personal growth beyond food. Insurance will not reimburse you for these services, no matter your plan.

Not at all. While food and body image are common entry points, I also work with people looking to feel more grounded, aligned, and connected in their everyday lives. This includes:
Building mindfulness tools to support a better relationship with food and self
Strengthening your awareness and understanding of your intuition
Letting go of perfectionism with food, body, and beyond
Cultivating self-trust
Understanding how to apply principles of nutrition and a gentle way that enhances your health and longevity, while reducing stress
-
I like expectations around scheduling and payment to be clear and straightforward.
Cancellation & rescheduling: Please provide at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel your appointment. Appointments canceled with less than 48 hours' notice, as well as missed appointments, may be subject to the full session fee. Emergencies and unexpected circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis.
A rescheduled session takes place within the same week as your originally scheduled session. If you need to reschedule for a later date, please cancel your original appointment with at least 48 hours' notice and schedule a new appointment.
Refunds: Payments for nutrition counseling services that have already been provided are non-refundable. If you have paid for a service in advance and the service has not yet been provided, please contact me to discuss your situation.
Payment disputes: If you have a question or concern about a charge, please contact me directly at kristin@hereandnownutrition.com so I can work with you to resolve the issue before initiating a payment dispute with your financial institution.
Insurance & payment: Insurance coverage varies by plan. When applicable, I can provide documentation for you to submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. This documentation is called a super bill. Not all plans accept super bills for out-of-network providers. You are responsible for understanding your insurance benefits and for any balance not covered by your insurance plan.
If you have questions about a charge, cancellation, refund, or your insurance responsibility, please reach out at kristin@hereandnownutrition.com or 862-283-0034.

Intuitive Eating is a research-backed, non-diet approach created by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. It helps you tune into hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues while releasing diet culture’s rules and the wellness world’s restrictions.
Instead of chasing rigid meal plans or “clean eating,” intuitive eating teaches you how to nourish your body from a place of trust.
Research has shown improvements in both physical and mental health outcomes when integrating this approach. You can explore the science and philosophy here.
