About Aimee Merkle-Scotland
This provider is not licensed in the state of CT, MA, MD, NY, IN, OK, OR, PA, TN, WA, HI, MT, IL, VT.
About:
Hi! I'm Aimee. I have been working as a dietitian since 2019. I believe in a whole-person approach (see my approach to care for more information) and that your nutrition plan or eating disorder recovery should work for you and the life you want to lead. I am happy to discuss all things eating disorder/disordered eating, exercise, body image, gender/sexual identity, and any other health-related topics that are relevant or important to you and your nutrition care. I am passionate about good food, dogs, the outdoors, and helping people live their best lives free from diet culture! Puedo hablar espa?ol tambi?n.
Approach to Care:
I believe that you are more than just what you eat. I practice with a trauma-informed, anti-diet, weight-inclusive, LGBTQ-friendly, whole-person approach so that we can work together to empower you to make lasting changes that help you live your best nourished life! I use CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing skills as well as my creativity to help you build trust and confidence in your body. I want to meet you where you are at, so even if you are not sure that you're ready to make changes, you can still use the space we create together in session to grow.
What to expect in your first session:
In our first session, we will begin by getting to know one another to establish a trusting relationship. I lead with curiosity, so it may feel like I am asking a lot of questions. I do this to help me understand your full picture in order to help you achieve your nutrition goals. We will talk about your goals, what brings you to session, how you feel about your eating habits and your body, as well as your history with food and your medical history.
