Kaitlyn - Neurodiversity-Affirming Dietitian: ARFID, Autism, ADHD & HAES® Aligned Care

Neuro-Affirming Nutrition: Your Whole Self is Welcome

Tired of feeling misunderstood? You don’t have to navigate your relationship with food alone!

I’m Kaitlyn Ashner, a Neurodiversity-Affirming Registered Dietitian specializing in supporting neurodiverse clients. My approach is entirely collaborative and supportive, never clinical or demanding. I understand that traditional “one-size-fits-all” nutrition advice often fails our community. That’s why I focus on adapting nutrition to your unique brain and sensory needs.

My practice is built on two core pillars of affirming care:

1. Neurodivergent Feeding: We address challenges like ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), sensory sensitivities, texture aversions, interoception awareness, and executive function hurdles that make planning and cooking difficult. I help you create sustainable, practical systems that work for your life.

2. Weight-Inclusive Mental Health: I provide expert, HAES® (Health At Every Size®) aligned treatment for Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating. We work together to improve your relationship with food and body, supporting anxiety, trauma, and overall mental well-being without chasing weight loss.

As a Queer and LGBTQIA+ affirming provider, I ensure that all aspects of your identity are honored in our work. My goal is to help you find peace, autonomy, and nourishment on your own terms.
