The Guiding Principles
Food & Nutrition
This is the crux of our business as we are all trained in the mechanisms of human food and nutrition. However, anyone can go to school for (or nowadays look up online) information about food and nutrition. What we do is different. While we can certainly provide education about food and nutrition, we are also specialized in counseling techniques and strategies to better understand why you make the food choices and carry the food beliefs you do.
Food Plans
Although intuitive eating and the non-diet approach are the end goals of our work together, we recognize not everyone is willing or able to start learning these approaches right away. Diet culture creates chaos and confusion around eating, which sets up barriers to our client’s ability to trust themselves to feed their bodies what they need. Therefore, we must utilize food plans to establish some groundwork and foundation toward a better awareness of appetite.
Exercise & Movement
Movement has oftentimes been the “elephant in the room” in eating disorder treatment - meaning we don't discuss it, postpone its integration into recovery, and the message that “no movement is allowed until you are symptom free or weight restored” is prevalent. At NCC, we think otherwise. We recognize that while exercise can be compulsive and sometimes medically unsafe, we cannot ignore the fact that movement has its benefits in recovery. Some of these benefits include mental well-being, greater bodily awareness, anxiety relief, injury reduction, an opportunity for social interaction and the ability to connect with other elements in our environment.
Treatment Team Collaboration
We believe this is imperative in the treatment of eating disorders. Since we are providing nutrition counseling, it is helpful for us to collaborate with the other members of the treatment team (physicians, psychologists and psychiatrists) to provide a holistic quality of care to the client. Sometimes this treatment team also includes coaches, school counselors, family, and friends!
