Trauma-informed Nutrition Counseling Services 

Woman in conversation

Trauma-informed Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) provided by our licensed Dietitians is an effective method for enhancing nourishment, health, and overall-being from an understanding and compassionate perspective. Trauma-informed care integration addresses complex medical issues or chronic health conditions, especially for those who have experienced trauma and goes beyond standard nutrition care as the gold standard. 

 

Our Dietitians understand that trauma and stress influences every aspect of a person’s life including their relationship with self and your body. Traditional nutrition counseling may fall short in tailored care promoting Nervous System regulation, which is why our trauma-informed approach acknowledges the interplay between trauma and health in nutrition care especially when navigating health, body image, disordered eating patterns and eating disorders.

 

We aim to provide a safe, supportive environment for nutrition care, focusing on your unique nervous system. In trauma-informed nutrition counseling sessions, you are encouraged to actively engage with choice and autonomy.

​

We adhere to evidence-based care standards, ensuring that our recommendations are tailored to your unique experiences and needs. Your trauma-informed Dietitian collaborates with you to create a personalized plan that considers any barriers related to trauma. Trauma-informed care takes into account your specific nutritional and nervous system requirements. Integrative nutrition emphasizes the balance of body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle without relying generic meal plans. Our Dietitians help you understand how your nutrition and mental health are interconnected, listening to your goals with empathy, and addressing any intolerances, deficiencies, or allergies that may impact your well-being. By adopting a trauma-informed approach, Nutrition Counselors support clients transforming their relationship with food, ultimately fostering better physical, emotional, and psychological health. With the right guidance, anyone can learn to nourish themselves in a way that encourages overall wellness.

Key Principles of Trauma-Informed Nutrition Counseling at Carmel Therapy Network

Floating Brown Mushrooms

1

Safety & Trust

Creating a safe and supportive environment is essential for trauma survivors to feel comfortable and open to exploring their relationship with food and their body. Nutrition counselors will prioritize building trust and rapport with their clients and avoid any actions or behaviors that may trigger feelings of fear or anxiety.

2

Empowerment & Choice 

Trauma can leave individuals feeling powerless and out of control. Trauma-informed nutrition counseling seeks to restore the client's sense of agency and autonomy by empowering them to make their own choices about their health and wellness.

3

Holistic & Integrative Approach

Trauma affects every aspect of a person's life, and as such, trauma-informed nutrition counseling takes a holistic and integrative approach. Your counselors may explore not just the client's diet and exercise habits but also their sleep, stress management, and social support systems.

4

Sensitivity & Compassion

Trauma survivors may be experiencing a range of emotions, including shame, guilt, and fear. Trauma-informed nutrition counselors will approach their clients with sensitivity and compassion and avoid any language or behaviors that may be triggering or re-traumatizing. You have the right to inform your Nutrition Counselor of language or experiences that don’t work for you.

Standard Notice GFE LAW: “Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges” Under the No Surprises Act. Beginning January 1, 2022: If you’re uninsured or you pay for healthcare bills yourself ('self-pay, you don’t have your claims submitted to your health insurance plan), providers and facilities must provide you with an estimate of expected charges before you receive an item or service. You can receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under this law, health and mental healthcare providers must give clients who don’t have insurance or are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health or mental healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask about your health or mental healthcare provider and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill of at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, click here or call HHS at (800) 368-1019.
