How we work with you
Appleman Nutrition is a private-pay practice of registered dietitians. We offer a range of highly personalized services to our clients including individual nutrition counseling, family based nutrition therapy, in person lactation consulting and more. We work from a simple conviction: all foods fit, and every human body has value and deserves to be well nourished. If thoughts or questions regarding nutrition, weight, or body image are on your mind, we can likely help. You do not need a particular diagnosis to schedule a conversation with us. Simply reach out, and we’ll help you define next steps.
Orientation
You’ve arrived here for a reason
People reach this page when they already know they want to speak with someone about their nutrition, or when someone they trust has pointed them here, and they want to understand the type of work we do. Here you will find information on all of the different ways that we work with our clients in order to help them meet their needs and feel their best, whether in the context of one-on-one sessions, parent and family meetings, or food exposure or meal support therapy.
Referring clinicians use this page the same way: to see what we offer and how to send a client our way. Scheduling a discovery call with us will help determine which of our services will best meet your needs.
Our services
Individual nutrition therapy
This one-on-one counseling represents the substantial core of the work that we do with our clients. Individual meetings with a registered dietitian are aimed first at gaining a complete understanding of your nutrition and medical history and then discussing your current issues of priority. The work is deeply personal and builds over time in an effort to establish a strong and stable relationship with food and body and the best outcome with your nourishment.

Learn moreMeal support
Supported eating with one of our registered dietitians or recovery coaches, when meeting nutrition needs is a challenge or the ability to eat in varied contexts is difficult. Virtually or in person meal support allows for real time skill building and processing that furthers disordered eating recovery and aids in diet expansion.
Learn moreFood exposure
Guided exposures using empirically based strategies aimed at methodically expanding accepted foods and enabling a fuller and more complete diet. Exposures start with conversations about easily accepted and challenging foods and the work toward expansion is gradual and paced according to a client’s tolerance.
Learn moreRecovery coaching
Practical, day-to-day recovery support provided alongside the care of your dietitian: this is an impactful clinical-support service not a substitute for nutrition therapy. All Medical nutrition therapy is provided by one of our registered dietitians.
Learn moreLactation consultation
Support for both you and your newborn in the early feeding days, whether that looks like breastfeeding, formula feeding, pumping, or some combination of all three. Care can begin before your baby arrives and may continue through the early months, in your home or virtually.

How payment works
We are a private-pay practice. Clients are billed monthly, during the first week of the month, for all services provided during the previous month. We do not bill insurance or submit claims for you, however, we provide a detailed receipt (superbill) with procedure and diagnostic coding so you can seek reimbursement on your own if your plan has out-of-network nutrition benefits. Fees are discussed on the discovery call and a fee schedule is also included in our paperwork in your client portal.
