About The Position

Monte Nido Eating Disorder Center of Portland is a premier eating disorder day treatment program serving adults seeking treatment for Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Exercise Addiction, and related eating disorders. Through our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), clients receive comprehensive care from an interdisciplinary team of clinical, medical, psychiatric, and nutrition professionals. We are seeking a Registration/Licensure-Eligible Dietitian to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates, dietetic interns who have completed accredited programs, and early-career nutrition professionals who are eligible to sit for the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) exam and obtain state licensure. As a key member of our multidisciplinary treatment team, the Dietitian collaborates closely with therapists, physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide exceptional nutrition care and support clients throughout their recovery journey. Our HAES®-informed approach to nutritional care emphasizes: Recognition that healthy, recovered people come in all shapes and sizes. Respect for body diversity and the belief that all bodies deserve nourishment and satiety. Behavior-focused rather than weight-focused treatment philosophies. Understanding that intentional weight loss efforts are often contraindicated in eating disorder recovery. Supportive, homelike food environments that encourage healing and self-trust. Nutrition programming across all Monte Nido programs is grounded in the principles of health, recovery, freedom from eating disorder behaviors, and developmentally appropriate progression toward internally directed eating.
