INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISION/CONSULTATION

Support For 
Dietitians/Nutritionists & other Professionals

How Can I Support You?

One of the most rewarding of my professional activities is providing individual and group supervision for dietitians/nutritionists and other medical and mental health professionals. Although the clinical supervision model is commonplace in the field of psychotherapy, nutrition therapists often do not have mentoring and counseling support. Yet, those of us working with clients and their food issues do healing work on so many levels. I also have co-facilitated a group for dietitians and mental health professionals who work in the eating disorders field and are recovering or have recovery histories. This provides a safe, confidential place to talk about issues that come up when doing this challenging work.

Currently, I am facilitating several groups for professionals who work with disordered eating, including one that I call the Embodied ED Professionals Supervision Group.. We focus on bringing the body into treatment in a trauma-informed way. I’m particularly interested in working with professionals who are curious about adding somatic elements to their clinical work.

Individual Supervision

Although nutrition professionals may not work directly with the underlying psychological issues, discussing food brings up so many deeper concerns, both for the client and the clinician. It’s important for nutrition professionals to have a forum to work through challenges and get support when doing this kind of counseling.

I would not be the healing provider that I am today without the mentoring and clinical supervision that I have received over the years. It is very satisfying to give and receive clinical supervision as I do this work. I am honored to support professionals of all types who work with clients who have food and body concerns.

Testimonials

-Julia Marquette, RD 

"I loved so many things about our group, especially connecting with and learning from amazing clinicians who are also interested in bringing Somatic Experiencing (SE) into their practices, and continuing to learn more about SE and how to apply it to my work with clients."

Group Supervision

Group work is satisfying and particularly helpful for professionals in private practice. I facilitate several supervision/consultation
groups, including one for professionals with a history of eating disorder recovery and one for those interested in bringing more somatic and embodiment work to counseling.

Frequently Asked Questions:

That’s difficult to determine until we meet at least once. If you navigate around this website, you’ll get a feel for my work, and this is a good place to start. I’m also happy to answer any additional questions beyond this faq over the phone or email. Just fill out a “contact Heidi” form or the supervision request form. I want this to feel like a good fit for you, so meeting in person and starting the work is the best way to determine if it's a good fit. I’m most interested in working with clinicians who see clients with disordered eating and body concerns and are curious about adding elements of somatic work into their clinical practices.

I also provide support for private practitioners running solopreneur businesses or who have an interest in adding creative pursuits—particularly writing—to their work.
We can meet as often as it serves your professional needs. I meet with supervisees weekly, biweekly, or monthly typically.

For group supervision, we typically meet monthly.
I charge $200 for a 50-minute individual supervision/consultation session.

My supervision/consultation groups cost $75/group session and typically are scheduled as a series. There is a financial commitment to the whole group series, but each group’s payment is not taken until the group is held each month. I offer a discount of $70/group session for those willing to pay for the series upfront.
I never want cost to be a reason that someone cannot access good supervision, so please ask me if finances are an issue. We can talk about something that meets both of our needs.
That depends on your professional needs. Personally, I recommend (and receive) both. Group work is particularly helpful for those in private practice who are missing a professional community. there are benefits of both individual and group work and i’m happy to talk with you about this to help you make a decision. Please fill out a “contact Heidi” form or supervision request form and I will get back to you.
Individual supervision can begin at any time if I have space in my schedule. I also keep a waiting list if my calendar is full. Most of my supervision/consultation groups enroll in august and start in september, continuing until june. I typically offer drop-in groups in july and august. During the year, my groups tend to be closed, but feel free to reach out and see if there is some flexibility. If an entire group is open to welcoming a new member, then we might be able to enroll you mid-series.
