Monte Nido & Affiliates, LLC • Parsippany, NJ

About The Position

Monte Nido Parsippany, located in Parsippany, New Jersey, is a primary eating disorder day treatment program exclusively for adults 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 core foundations of health, freedom from eating disordered behaviors, and developmentally appropriate progression toward self-trust and internally-directed eating. The HAES-informed nutritional care reflects recognition that healthy, recovered people come in all shapes and sizes, that all bodies deserve to be nourished and experience satiety, behavior-focused rather than weight-focused philosophies, and awareness that weight loss attempts and focus are contraindicated for recovery from all eating disorder diagnoses. Kitchens and food environments are open and accessible as in a homelike setting.
