Dietitian
About The Position
Monte Nido River Towns is a residential treatment program in Irvington, New York, serving adults seeking treatment for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, or exercise addiction. Its treatment approach aims to restore physiological and nutritional balance, establish healthy eating and exercise routines, eliminate harmful behaviors, and build motivation and engagement in treatment. The Registered Dietitian is a critical member of the leadership and clinical teams and routinely collaborates with other disciplines to support optimal client care. Nutrition programming is grounded in health, freedom from eating-disorder behaviors, and developmentally appropriate progress toward self-trust and internally directed eating. The HAES-informed approach recognizes that healthy, recovered people come in all shapes and sizes; that all bodies deserve nourishment and satiety; and that care should focus on behavior rather than weight. Weight-loss attempts and weight-focused approaches are considered contraindicated for recovery from eating disorders. Kitchens and food environments are open and accessible, like those in a homelike setting.
