Job Description

Registered Dietitian

Location: West Nyack, NY

Our organization operates a residential treatment program in West Nyack, NY, dedicated to adolescents seeking help for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or Exercise Addiction.

At our facility, we guide adolescents and their families towards complete recovery, equipping each young person with the tools to face life's challenges without the burden of an eating disorder. We emphasize empathy, education, and family involvement as essential components of the recovery journey, helping each adolescent cultivate healthy skills and a profound understanding of their unique identity.

We are currently looking for a Registered Dietitian to become a vital part of our team. This role is essential within both the leadership and clinical teams, requiring regular collaboration across various disciplines to ensure the highest quality of care for our clients.

Our nutrition programs are built on foundational principles that promote health, freedom from disordered eating behaviors, and a developmentally appropriate journey towards self-trust and intuitive eating. With this robust framework, our clients progress from repairing their relationship with food to embracing a fulfilling, recovered life.

• Understanding that healthy individuals come in diverse shapes and sizes.
• Believing that all bodies deserve nourishment and the experience of satiety.
• Focusing on behavior rather than weight in our philosophies.
• Recognizing that attempts to lose weight are not conducive to recovery from any eating disorder.
• Providing kitchens and food environments that are open and welcoming, resembling a home-like atmosphere.
