Dietitian

About the role

Monte Nido Philadelphia Day Treatment, located in Villanova, PA, is a primary eating disorder day treatment program for adults and adolescents seeking treatment for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or Exercise Addiction. Through partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming, clients participate in group and individual therapy, benefit from Monte Nido’s clinical, medical, psychiatric, and nutritional expertise, and experience real-life challenges.

The Registered Dietitian is a critical member of the leadership and clinical teams and collaborates routinely with all disciplines to achieve optimal client care. Nutrition programming across all programs originates from the same core foundations of health, freedom from eating disordered behaviors, and developmentally appropriate progression toward self-trust and internally-directed eating. Our HAES-informed nutritional care reflects:

• Recognition that healthy, recovered people come in all shapes and sizes
• Recognition that all bodies deserve to be nourished and experience satiety
• Behavior-focused, rather than weight-focused philosophies
