Supervision for Dietitians

Watching other dietitians grow in their skills, increase their confidence and succeed in business lights me up.

I’ve spent over 15 years working in eating disorders and over 12 years mentoring and supervising other dietitians. I’ve experienced intense love for the work and my clients, the rewards, and the healing along with the pain, the exhaustion and the burnout. When I say I understand the complexities and rewards of working in this field – I mean it!

I believe dietitians working in eating disorders are unmatched in the healthcare field.

When it comes to spending time with our clients and truly knowing them, working with families and carers of loved ones, and making the effort to initiate and maintain multidisciplinary collaboration we’re not only providing top-notch care, we’re paving a completely new path – all while often being misunderstood and under appreciated.

This puts us at a very high risk for burnout! That’s where supervision comes in.

Supervision isn’t just for case consultation.

Supervision is an opportunity to explore and grow in:

  • Relational themes in care – Our own emotional experiences in the care experience, projection, transference and counter -transference
  • Feeling grounded and confident in navigating the care process, nutrition counseling skills, multidisciplinary teams, and more
  • Complex care coordination with other healthcare professionals – what we’re responsible for and what we’re not, how to not accidentally find yourself as a stand in case manager!
  • Setting boundaries in communication, scheduling, care coordination, pricing, cancellations and more
  • The overlap of business ownership or working as the only dietitian on your team and how that impacts the care experience

Supervision can decrease your risk for burnout, strengthen your counseling skills, increase your self-awareness, help you feel seen and supported and give us the resources and support we need to show up grounded and ready to hold space for our clients.

I currently offer individual supervision and am an IAEDP approved supervisor. I can help you work towards getting your CEDS certification if that’s your goal. My specialties include eating disorders (all ages and diagnoses anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARIFD, OSFED), intuitive eating, prenatal and postpartum nutrition, child feeding, endometriosis and gut health.

Pricing

  • 55 minutes – $175
  • 30 minutes – $99 (established supervisee only)
  • Group of 2 dietitians – $99/hour/RD (this still counts towards an hour of individual supervision towards your CEDRD/CEDS)
  • Lindsay is an Iaedp approved supervisor (now called “Iaedp Approved Consultant) who can sign off on your practice and supervision hours.

Pursuing the CEDRD (or CEDS) Iaedp Credential

  • As an Iaedp approved supervisor, Lindsay is able to be your approved supervisor and sign off on your practice and supervision hours. In order for Lindsay to be your assigned supervisor and verify hours directly in iaedp’s Certification Application Platform, you must be:
    •  Working with Lindsay 1:1 on at least a monthly basis.
    • Tracking your own hours
    • Tracking changes to the CEDRD credential that Iaedp enforces
    • Group supervision – Up to 50% (max 12 hours) of your required supervision hours may be in the form of group supervision. If engaging in group supervision, I can sign off on those hours during our active group. Anything beyond that would require regular individual supervision.Please note that a dyad (group of 2) counts as an individual session and Lindsay offers this to improve access to individual supervision.
    • If you plan to pursue the Iaedp credential and have me as your supervisor, please let me know so you can sign the iaedp-specific agreement.

Hear from other dietitians thriving in practice

Lindsay came highly recommended by two other dietitians for supervision. I had no idea how badly I needed supervision, and specifically with Lindsay until I started working with her! Within my first few sessions, I felt a HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders and much more empowered in doing the work I do with clients. Lindsay has a way of understanding exactly what I’m struggling with at any given moment, and providing practical, comprehensive support that instantly makes sense. I swear I come to her with things I think, “there’s no way anyone can help me with this!” and then sure enough, Lindsay does! I’m so beyond grateful I found her. She is so warm, welcoming, generous, supporting, and encouraging. She has helped me feel totally equipped to work with the types of clients I always wanted to, but didn’t trust myself with because so much of this work we don’t (or at least I didn’t) learn in school. She keeps reminding me I have way more answers than I think I do and is helping me trust myself more and more while guiding me along the way. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Lindsay for supervision – you’ll be so glad you did!

I can’t say enough positive things about working with Lindsay. Her supervision and feedback have been so valuable, both to me and my clients. She is patient, non-judgmental, and an excellent listener. Her responses to my questions are always so insightful, and I’ve continued to use her advice months later. I always leave feeling incredibly supported and confident that I am doing what is best for my clients.

Lindsay’s advice and expertise have been immensely helpful to me over the last decade.  I admire her impeccable work and her dedication to being a positive voice in a society driven by diet culture and weight obsession. As a mentor, Lindsay truly desires to help other business professionals gain the insight and knowledge they need to help their clients on their journey to recovery. I appreciate her savvy business skills and enthusiasm to re-define health in today’s world. I am so grateful to call Lindsay a friend, mentor, and a colleague in the field of nutrition and dietetics.
