Serving West Palm Beach, Florida Virtually
Looking for a specialized team of eating disorder dietitians in Atlanta, Georgia? Courage to Nourish is a team of eating disorder specialized nutritionists who have dedicated their careers to working with eating disorders.
Courage to Nourish was founded in January 2020. Alex Raymond founded the practice in order to have a safe space for clients to recover from their eating disorders. Alex is grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to grow her practice and provide more support and resources for those in eating disorder recovery. As a team of eating disorder dietitians, we have the opportunity to assure our clients are working with the dietitian who is the best fit for them. We each specialize in a different area of eating disorder recovery. You might be feeling nervous about working with a dietitian. And if you do, that’s totally normal. It can be difficult to process your relationship with food while challenging your eating disorder. We think of the initial session as a “get to know you.” You will have space and time to share your own story. We will likely spend the session asking you some questions and getting feedback from you.
Eating Disorder Nutrition Therapy
Consistent, specialized care is paramount when treating an eating disorder. Courage to Nourish provides individualized care specific to each person. We will explore your relationship with food, provide accurate, gentle nutrition education, and provide personalized meal planning guidance.
Intuitive Eating Counseling
Looking to break free from the diet mentality and improve your relationship with food in a sustainable way? It can be exhausting following diet after diet and feeling like you “failed.” The truth is that the diet set you up to fail from the beginning. Courage to Nourish offers intuitive eating counseling services. We support our clients in a deeper exploration of their relationship with food and body and are with them every step of the way.
ARFID Nutrition
Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is becoming more and more recognized, which we are so glad about because it means more people are getting the support they need! Several dietitians at Courage to Nourish specialize in ARFID nutrition. We work with clients of all ages with ARFID and support them through food exposures, fueling properly and food related anxiety.
Support Groups
Virtual community group
Eating disorders can be lonely and isolating and leave you feeling misunderstood. We offer a free, weekly support group to provide a safe space to be around other recovery-focused individuals who are learning to prioritize recovery and find meaning outside of their eating disorder.
Virtual loved one group
Supporting a loved one in their recovery can often leave you feeling exhausted and hopeless. We offer a monthly free support group to allow family and loved ones to discuss the ups and downs of being in a supportive, caregiving role, learning how to take care of yourself along the way, and find comfort that you are not alone.

Families come to us with a wide range of nutrition concerns. We support families toward completing their nutrition goals including meal planning, preventing eating disorders, expanding food choices, improving relationships with food and more.

FAQs About Our Services
How do I know if I need to see a dietitian?
If you find that you are struggling with your relationship with food, body or exercise in ANY capacity, please note that you absolutely deserve space and time to heal, regardless of the symptoms you’re experiencing. Working with a dietitian in Atlanta can be extremely beneficial to improve your relationship with food. We encourage you to schedule a discovery call with us to find out more about our services and how we can help.
How long will I need to see you for?
Treating an eating disorder takes time! Most of the clients we see are “long term” clients who we work with on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. It is difficult to set a time frame, but it’s not uncommon for clients to meet with us on a weekly basis for at least 6 months. If you feel like your healing journey is taking “too long,” just remember that recovery is not linear. It’s normal to have ups and downs.
Will I need to follow a meal plan?
How can I help a loved one with an eating disorder?
Supporting a loved one with an eating disorder, including AN, can be so difficult. As loved ones, we often want to “fix it.” But, recovery takes time and there’s not much we can do other than offering a listening ear and a non-judgemental space.
