NourishED

We offer guidance for medical monitoring for primary care providers with our Registered Nurse to keep track of your vitals and overall health throughout treatment.

No referral is required. You can self-refer to our services directly. However, if you have a family doctor, we encourage collaboration to ensure comprehensive care.

Many insurance plans cover our programs. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific coverage details. Our team can also assist you with insurance verification.

We offer outpatient care only.

No, our services are covered under extended health care plans only. We can also offer direct billing whenever possible.

If you're experiencing symptoms that affect your daily life, seeking help is a positive step. Our team offers free consultations to assess your needs and determine if our treatment is right for you.

• No diagnosis is required in order to access services. NourishED focuses on treating needs, and treatment starts with a comprehensive intake to gain a strong understanding of client needs from the very beginning.

• For those looking to obtain a formal diagnosis, diagnostic assessments are available at BeWell.

• Not every NourishED client will be weighed. Every client’s relationship with the scale will vary; collaborative weighing as part of the treatment plan will be determined on a client-by-client basis. We empower our clients to be a part of this discussion

• NourishED may utilize client-weights for a variety of reasons, such as: monitoring medical stability, testing predictions around weight, debunking weight-related myths, learning to listen to the body and better understanding the fluctuations involved in weight

• When weight restoration is indicated, weight collection will be required at NourishED or with an external provider

• Every client’s treatment plan is individualized and not everyone will work with a dietitian.

• For those looking to connect with an ED-informed dietitian, the service is openly available at NourishED. For those less certain, collaborative discussions with the client and multidisciplinary team, as well as identified therapy goals, help to direct this decision.

• For clients needing weight restoration and renourishment, a dietitian will be required for safety and to ensure therapy targets are being met.

• There is no set timeline to therapy. Some clients may benefit from shorter or longer program engagement.

• NourishED works to meet the client where they are at, determine a treatment plan together, and regularly review progress to update the plan as needs shift in recovery.

• NourishED understands that recovery is not a straight line and every client will have their own journey. Our team will will adapt the pace of treatment as needed, while still being mindful of recovery objectives and steps to reach them.

• Many of our clients come in with ambivalence or a history of invalidation; it is important to NourishED to meet clients where they are and empower them with choice wherever possible.

• Built in review sessions after every 10 appointments helps NourishED ensure we are adapting the treatment plan as recovery needs shift. Review appointments allow us to reinforce wins thus far and identify remaining challenges to address with an updated treatment plan.

• NourishED incorporates self-report questionnaires within the program strategically, to collect client insight and observe progress towards recovery goals. Additionally, NourishED regularly tracks ED symptoms and other clinical details for outcome monitoring.
