FAQ: Eating Disorder Nutrition therapy

Please reach us at info@stepping-stonesnutrition.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What types of eating disorders do you treat at Stepping Stones Nutrition?

We work with clients experiencing any symptoms related to any diagnosed or undiagnosed eating disorder including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, ARFID ("Avoidant & Restrictive Food Intake Disorder"), and OSFED ("Otherwise Specified Feeding & Eating Disorder")]. We work closely with therapists and physicians to provide collaborative treatment.

Do I need a referral from my doctor to start nutrition therapy for an eating disorder?

We do not need a referral for you to schedule an appointment with us. However, if under your current insurance plan you have needed referrals for other medical services, do check with your insurance to see if your insurance requires you to have a referral for nutrition services before beginning your work with us.

What if I haven't been diagnosed with an Eating Disorder?

You do not need a formal diagnosis to receive support. Many people seek nutrition therapy because they feel stressed around food, notice patterns that don’t feel “normal,” or want help understanding their eating habits. Early signs—skipping meals, food anxiety, rigid rules, nighttime overeating, or constant worry about weight or body image—are worth paying attention to, even without a diagnosis.
