Step 1: Complete a short application
You’ll start by filling out a brief application so we can learn more about what you’re experiencing and what kind of support you’re looking for. This helps us make sure we’re the right fit for your needs.
In our nutrition therapy sessions, we'll identify your specific challenges and tailor strategies that resonate with your personal experience, aiming for a holistic improvement in your relationship with food.
It's a complex and often misunderstood condition that can impact your life in various ways.
We understand the nuances of ARFID. How it's different from other eating disorders, its effects on your physical and mental health, and why recognizing these differences is crucial for your journey.
I am immensely grateful for B. Wheeler Nutrition; words can not describe the impact of their care on my quality of life beyond just nutrition. They have taken many hours outside of our sessions to advocate on my behalf and ensure I receive quality support. I personally struggle with ARFID eating disorder and feel like I am the "difficult one" when it comes to food.
My dietitian at B. Wheeler Nutrition has supported me in breaking down my feelings and messages from people in my life to heal my own body without feeling shame from the food I eat. My dietitian is extremely understanding, empathic, knowledgeable, non-judgemental, and supportive. From my experience of working with B. Wheeler Nutrition for about 2 years, they are the best of the best.
I highly recommend B. Wheeler Nutrition, often to my friends, family, and my own clients.

If our practice is a good fit for the support you’re seeking, you’ll receive an email invitation to schedule an optional discovery call and then your first session.
Your early sessions focus on getting to know you: your history with food and your body, what feels hard right now and what changes feel doable.
This work is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized.
Most clients work with us for about 3–6 months, meeting weekly or biweekly depending on what feels supportive. Around 3 months of working together, you and your dietitian will check in about how the overall support is feeling for you, what’s shifting, and what you might need next.
Many clients find they’re feeling more grounded, confident and steady by this time. Others choose to continue for a bit longer because ongoing support feels helpful and that’s completely okay, too.
We came to B. Wheeler Nutrition for my daughter after she had been placed in a residential and outpatient program to treat her newly diagnosed Avoidant Restrictive Intake Disorder (ARFID). We came with a lot of trauma from that facility. Our dietitian soothed both our souls and began to be my point person in treating my daughter. On two occasions, our dietitian recognized that my daughter needed additional care. She coordinated with CHOA and me while my child was hospitalized for 10 days and left with a feeding tube. Our dietitian assisted me for a year while my daughter was on the tube and another year once she moved to solids. I can’t praise her enough for her knowledge and heart. She is understanding and patient and will always be the best part of a very difficult time.
No, I am not in-network with any insurance providers and do not do single case agreements.
Yes, I can provide a superbill after your session, if requested. It is your responsibility to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement and just because I provide a superbill doesn’t necessarily mean insurance will cover services.
I require at least 48 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your session. Clients who provide less than 48 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be responsible for the full session fee and the card on file will be charged.
Working with a dietitian here is meant to feel safe, collaborative, and grounding. Here’s what you can expect:
There are no strict rules, “good” or “bad” foods, or expectations that you’ll arrive with motivation or clarity. You just need to show up as you are — we’ll meet you there.
Care for clients under the age of 18 typically involves more follow-up including providing post-session updates for parents/guardians as well as greater collaboration among the other care providers/treatment team members.
