Job Description

Registered Dietitian

Location: West Linn, OR

About Us: Our organization operates a residential treatment program in West Linn, OR, dedicated to adolescents seeking help for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or Exercise Addiction.

We are committed to guiding 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. Our approach emphasizes empathy, education, and family involvement, fostering a supportive environment where adolescents can develop healthy skills and a profound understanding of their unique identities.

We are looking for a Registered Dietitian to become a vital part of our clinical and leadership teams. This role involves regular collaboration with various disciplines to ensure the highest quality of care for our clients.

Our nutrition programming is built on fundamental principles of health, liberation from disordered eating behaviors, and a developmentally appropriate journey towards self-trust and intuitive eating. This strong foundation allows our clients to 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 every body deserves 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 eating disorders.
• Providing open and accessible kitchen and food environments that resemble a home setting.
