Nutrition therapist

The treatment of eating disorders or any other type of difficult relationship with food requires collboration of a multidisciplinary team. In addition to the role of the physician and the psychologist, the figure of a nutritionist is important.

Thanks to working in a team, we can ensure a full recovery of people who suffer from this type of disordered behavior. However, the nutritionist, like the rest of the professionals, must be specialized in this subject. The treatment will be completely different from that of a person who does not suffer from this type of difficulty.

A nutritionist is a qualified and legally recognized health professional. Their role is to accompany people that might need advice on food, nutrition and dietetics. Therefore, we also include here people who have any kind of eating tendencies or eating behavior that needs help to improve their quality of life at a physiological and social level.

The nutritional treatment is a process of accompaniment with a holistic and multidisciplinary approach. The psychologists and psychotherapists of the center, as well as doctors and nutritionists work together.

Each patient is unique and not everyone needs the same type of help. Are treatments are tailored to the needs of each patient. Our way of working is not to offer a diet but to elaborate together with the patient an action plan. Our goal is to help our patients to improve their quality of life through nutritional accompaniment.

We offer nutrition sessions in Barcelona and online for those who want or need to accompany the psychological treatment. We specialize in nutritional support for people with an eating disorders and obesity. By working as a team, our approach is multidisciplinary.

Apart from individual sessions, we offer a group process focused on working on the relationship with food. The program is both for patients with eating disorders, obesity or complicated relationship with eating.

The individual sessions and the group program can be carried out separately or in a complementary way. Our aim is to offer each patient personalized attention adapted to their needs and possibilities.

• The first session is the first approach to understanding the eating problem. During this session which we carry out a personalized interview and identify the patterns, habits, vicious cycles, obstacles, etc. and we propose a plan of change. In addition, it helps us understand the current nutritional health and be able to recommend the best treatment modality complementary to the individual therapy process.
• We do follow-up sessions every 1-2 weeks. We check the progress and difficulties, re-evaluate goals, and offer emotional and motivational support to achieve change.
• During the clinical sessions our team meets and we discuss the progress of our patients. Wedecide on the areas of overlap between psychology and nutrition. The goal is to offer the best quality of our treatments and to ensure they are complementary.
• Before starting the process we offer the possibility of a free informational meeting to explain how we work and clarify doubts.
