Adolescent Eating Disorder & Disordered Eating Treatment Hi, I’m Julia Fickenscher, a Registered Dietitian specializing in eating disorders and disordered eating in adolescents. I work with teens navigating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, OSFED, and ARFID—often during some of the most challenging seasons of their lives. If you're a parent, maybe you’ve noticed your child avoiding meals, cutting out foods, or obsessing over their body. You might feel confused, scared, or unsure of what’s “normal” vs. what needs help. You’re not alone—and your child can get better. My work with teens is compassionate and developmentally informed, rooted in medical nutrition therapy, intuitive eating, and Health at Every Size®. I help them nourish their bodies, rebuild trust in food, and strengthen their relationship with themselves. I also collaborate with families and care teams to create a safe, supportive environment. Healing isn’t just about food—it’s about identity, belonging, and self-worth. My role is to help your teen reconnect with who they are beyond the eating disorder while building the skills they need to thrive. Intuitive Eating & Food Freedom If you're tired of dieting, stressed about food, and disconnected from your body—you’re in the right place. I help adults break free from the cycle of restriction, bingeing, guilt, and shame through a personalized, weight-inclusive approach to intuitive eating. Many of my clients have spent years chasing food rules—keto, Whole30, intermittent fasting—only to feel more stuck. Together, we unlearn diet culture and build self-trust, body respect, and sustainable nourishment. We explore hunger and fullness cues, satisfaction, emotional eating, and health-promoting habits that feel good—not punishing. Clients leave with more confidence, less mental noise, and a greater sense of peace in their bodies. If that’s the shift you’re ready for, I’d love to support you.
