Dietitian

About the role

Clementine Northshore, located in Northport, NY, is a residential treatment program exclusively for adolescents seeking treatment for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, or Exercise Addiction. We support adolescents and their families on the path to full recovery by preparing each adolescent to navigate the challenges of life free of the eating disorder. 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 of our 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
