At Recovered and Restored, we understand that each person has a unique journey, and we’re committed to supporting diverse needs.

Online nutritional counseling services bring this support directly to you, making it easily accessible for women and girls across Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Bethlehem, and Reading. We’re dedicated to meeting you where you are along your journey and helping you find peace with food.
How Our Online Nutritional Counseling Services Work
Our Registered Dietitian collaborates closely with each client, focusing on safe, non-judgmental care. Our personalized approach allows us to tailor nutrition plans that address personal history, current relationship with food, and health needs. We establish your individualized needs through a detailed intake process. Initial sessions focus on establishing nourishment and stability, incorporating safe foods to help you feel comfortable as you build strength and confidence.
Whether you’re working to overcome anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), disordered eating, or orthorexia, our online nutritional counseling in Pennsylvania, provides the flexible, tailored support needed for recovery. From assisting with weight restoration to creating a balanced and joyful relationship with food, our services will empower you to make nutritious choices that align with your individual recovery goals. Residents of Lancaster, State College, Harrisburg, and other Pennsylvania communities are encouraged to reach out and start this journey toward healing, balance, and lifelong wellness.
Flexible Meal Structures and Online Nutrition Education in Pennsylvania
Our dietitian prioritizes meal structures over rigid meal plans, aiming to cultivate a flexible approach to food that reduces anxiety around meals. This structure will guide you in creating balanced plates and meals that align with your unique needs while keeping variety and nutrition in mind. By encouraging choices within a loose framework rather than following strict rules, you can begin to develop autonomy and ease around food. This focus on meal structure helps create a supportive eating routine, making meals more approachable and less restrictive.
Additionally, our dietitian offers valuable education about nutritional needs, body signals, and food variety. Here are some of the nutritional body signals that clients are often trained to recognize, which will help promote a balanced and intuitive approach to nourishment:
-
Hunger and Fullness Cues: Recognizing early signs of hunger (such as low energy, mild headache, or difficulty concentrating) and fullness (feeling comfortably satisfied rather than overly full).
-
Energy Levels: Noting daily energy patterns; low or fluctuating energy can indicate the need for balanced nutrient intake.
-
Menstruation Regularity: For women, regular menstrual cycles are a key signal of nutritional adequacy and overall health.
-
Mental Clarity and Focus: Maintaining focus and mental sharpness can indicate stable blood sugar levels and sufficient macronutrient intake.
-
Digestive Regularity: Regular bowel movements and minimal digestive discomfort can suggest adequate fiber and nutrient intake.
-
Sleep Quality: Quality sleep and minimal disturbances can reflect balanced blood sugar and a variety of nutrients, including magnesium and B vitamins.
-
Cravings: Specific cravings can sometimes indicate nutrient needs, such as cravings for salty foods (potentially indicating hydration needs) or sweets (possibly related to blood sugar balance).
-
Mood Stability: Stable moods can signal balanced nutrition, while mood fluctuations are often associated with nutrient deficiencies, particularly the B vitamins and Omega-3s (Christine Chae, LCSW).
Working Together to Help You Find Healing
Collaboration is also a key element of our approach. Our dietitian works closely with your eating disorder therapist and primary care physician or specialist to create a well-rounded treatment plan. This coordinated care helps ensure all aspects of your health - mental, physical, and emotional - are supported and that your sessions reinforce each other. With this team approach, we aim to provide the safest, most effective support possible to help you feel your best.
You are not alone in seeking balanced, nourishing support for your body’s needs.
Many people face challenges when it comes to maintaining a healthy relationship with food, and it’s essential to remember that your body deserves the nourishment and care required to thrive. With the right guidance, you can enjoy a peaceful, supportive relationship with food that empowers you in all areas of life.
