NUTRITION COUNSELING

Nutrition counseling is an ongoing process where a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) works closely with clients to assess their typical dietary intake and identify areas for positive change. For nutrition counseling to be effective, clients need to feel safe and supported enough to share honestly about their eating habits. Unfortunately, many nutrition programs fail when clients fear judgment and simply tell their provider what they think is expected. At Peak Serenity Counseling, our providers do not scold or judge clients for their eating behaviors. Instead, we use a collaborative, compassionate approach to help clients develop individualized nutrition plans and adopt sustainable, healthy eating habits that support overall wellness and eating disorder recovery.

Intuitive Eating

Peak Serenity follows the Health At Every-Size (HAES) philosophy, providing a non-diet approach that takes away the need for clients to continue the chronic dieting cycle. We believe in empowering the individual to connect with their own body to determine their nutritional needs. Intuitive eating is what we were all born to do. Babies will cry, then eat, then stop eating until they are hungry again. We were all born with this capability, but for whatever reason―whether due to stress, emotions, scarcity, or rules and restrictions―some people lose touch with their inner sense of intuition. Peak Serenity will guide you in separating food from emotions― getting to the root reason you have turned to food to cope.  

Medical Nutrition Therapy

Being diagnosed with a new disease can often be frightening and overwhelming, and these emotions can make it difficult for people to fully process medical guidance on how to manage their condition.  In other situations, people ‘know’ what they are supposed to do, but for whatever reason, they struggle to make those long-lasting changes. 

Peak Serenity specializes in helping clients who struggle with maintaining the motivation for self-care that is necessary for managing their condition. Through medical nutrition therapy, we can help you process the emotions hindering your success, and get you back on track to managing your condition―whether it is diabetes, gastrointestinal issues, heart disease, or other medical diagnoses. We are here to support you wherever you are in your journey to wellness.  Not only will we offer guidance for managing your nutritional needs, we will also teach you how to process your thoughts and feelings, and find your sense of identity outside of your illness.

PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES

You may have specific reasons for seeking therapy, such as wanting to feel less anxious, manage sadness, or improve overall emotional well-being. Your teen might be facing academic pressures or social stressors. You may want support to work on relationships, address recurring patterns of behavior, or simply navigate life when it isn’t going the way you want. At Peak Serenity Counseling, we believe anyone can benefit from therapy, which often serves as a starting point for greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, and personal growth.

Our practice offers evidence-based therapy with an integrative approach, incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and family therapy systems. We understand that the most important factor for successful outcomes is the relationship between therapist and client. At Peak Serenity, we focus on building a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship to support your journey toward improved mental health and well-being.
