Abby Emmert, MA LAC NCC
I am passionate about helping my clients find their inner strengths and it is my goal that you will always leave our sessions knowing your value!
I specialize in eating disorders, OCD, and anxiety using a strengths and compassion-based approach. I also work well with those struggling with body image and body dysmorphia who are looking to heal their relationship with their body and food. As a former collegiate athlete, I love working with this population, as well. I am a HAES (Health at Every Size) practitioner and am passionate about providing non-diet, size inclusive care. As an eating disorder survivor and OCD warrior, I know what it's like to live with these disorders and wonder if there is a future without them.
I approach each client differently based on their individual needs, walking with them through the process, and collaborating on their care the entire time. Reaching out for help is scary, but you aren't alone.
Adina Pearson, RD
Food peace. That's my goal for clients. Peace can sound passive but it's not. It is a neutral ground from where you can build confidence and the ability to make choices around food that support your health and enjoyment of life.

Alex Altman, LICSW, LCSW-C
I am a proud Health at Every Size clinician. ‘Health at Every Size’ (or HAES) is an approach and a growing movement which is based on the belief that everyone, at every size, is capable of pursuing health-related behaviors if they wish to, irrespective of weight loss. This approach recognizes that diets do not work and that attempts to lose weight almost always perpetuate weight cycling (rapid weight loss and weight gain) and disordered eating, and ultimately cause more harm than they do good. The HAES approach also embraces the concept of body diversity—the simple fact that there are many, many kinds of bodies in this world, as there always have been and always will be—and that all bodies are good bodies, worthy and fully deserving of respect.
This approach doesn't negate the unfortunate fact that we live in a world of diet culture, fatphobia, and weight stigma, and many parents worry about how to protect their children from the toxic messaging diet culture sends. I can help you get grounded in the HAES approach and mindset, and if necessary, help you 'do your own work' with respect to body image and beliefs around food and weight, empowering you to break the inter-generational cycle of diet-related trauma and poor body image. As of 10/29/20, I'm only offering telehealth services (virtual or video therapy) in response to the pandemic, and plan to continue offering telehealth moving forward.

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with a passion for helping others rediscover their body's natural intuition and balance. As an anti-diet dietitian, I practice with an Intuitive Eating®, Health at Every Size (HAES)®, weight-inclusive, fat positive, and gentle nutrition focus. I am a licensed dietitian in Florida and Georgia, and run my practice, Nourish - Body and Mind, LLC virtually via a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform.

I am originally from New Jersey … so I was raised on the music of Bruce Springsteen and the iconic pork roll, egg and cheese breakfast (… on an everything bagel, with salt, pepper, ketchup, of course!).
I love food. Like really love it. There's nothing I love more than really good pizza (with ranch!!), chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, and coconut coffee creamer. I can talk about it all day long… and sometimes I do. And sometimes, food never comes up in our sessions. We can talk about body image and diet culture, brainstorm grocery lists and meal ideas, or rediscover how to make self care a priority for you. I am not here to tell you what to eat or how to eat… but rather, help you explore your own relationship with food and your body. I trust that your body knows what, how and when to eat… but do you? I believe that it is possible for you to rebuild your trust with your body.
You can find me reading on the beach in beautiful Fernandina Beach, Florida, trying new recipes in my kitchen, savoring a Yin Yoga class, or enjoying a cup of tea while watching Netflix!!

Alissa Rumsey, MS, RD, CDN, CSCS
My approach is highly individualized and rooted in intuitive eating, mindfulness, self-compassion, and the principles of Health at Every Size (HAES). I blend expertise in nutrition and psychology to help you break the cycle of dieting, learn to eat ‘normally’, and nurture lasting health behaviors without obsessing about food or your body.
As an intuitive eating coach and body image specialist, I help you cultivate a healthy relationship with both food and your body, without trying to control your weight. I take a holistic self-care approach, meaning that I help you learn how to take care of yourself in all aspects of health – including food, exercise, stress management, coping skills, sleep habits, and more. I help you figure out a way of eating that is right for you and that allows you to take care of your body, without restriction or deprivation. My approach will allow you to discover how to feed and nurture your body in a way that permits you to live your life fully while connecting more authentically to yourself and to others.
I work with many parents who are looking to improve their own food habits and body image so that they can model a healthy relationship with food and bodies to their children. My goal is to empower parents to help their children develop positive behaviors around food, movement and body image.

Alyson Haebig MS, RDN, LDN
I am dedicated to helping people develop a healthy relationship with food while recognizing, accepting, & respecting the role food has played in their lives. My compassionate approach is informed by the core truth that we are all born with the ability to intuitively nourish our bodies. Mixed messages around food propagated by our culture threaten to disconnect us from this innate skill. I help individuals rediscover their ability to intuitively eat as well as work towards healing their relationship with food.
