Grace Hensold, RDN, LDN, IL | Dietitian

About Grace Hensold

Hi, I'm Grace Hensold, a Licensed & Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) at Reconnect Psychotherapy PLLC, offering personalized nutritional counseling to support mental, emotional, and digestive health. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics from Bradley University and completed my Dietetic Internship at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. With over seven years of experience, I focus on helping individuals navigate disordered eating, stress-related eating behaviors, and chronic condition management. I'm passionate about providing culturally affirming care, especially for Latinx/Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ communities, recognizing how identity, cultural values, and personal experiences shape one's relationship with food. I've worked in various settings, including chronic disease management, oncology, and nutrition counseling for disordered eating. This has helped me understand the unique challenges faced by diverse populations, particularly around body image and eating behaviors. I believe in addressing nutrition with a holistic, compassionate approach that considers the mind-body connection. I'm committed to mindfulness in eating, helping clients reconnect with their bodies and adopt a balanced, non-restrictive approach to food. I guide clients in healing from trauma, body image issues, and negative experiences, using nutrition-based strategies that encourage self-compassion and a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. At Reconnect Psychotherapy, I work closely with the therapy team to offer integrated care, ensuring emotional, mental, and nutritional needs are all addressed. I am honored to work with clients from diverse backgrounds, offering guidance that resonates with their unique identities and experiences. Whether you're struggling with disordered eating or looking to improve your relationship with food, I'm here to help you navigate that journey with support and understanding.
