Do you offer in-person nutrition counseling in Maine?

Yes. CV Wellbeing offers in-person nutrition counseling in Gorham and South Portland, Maine. We also provide telehealth appointments for clients throughout the state.

What happens during the first nutrition appointment?

Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know you. We will talk through your health history, eating patterns, symptoms, relationship with food, goals, and what kind of support would feel most helpful. From there, your dietitian will collaborate with you on a care plan that feels realistic and personalized.

How often do nutrition counseling sessions happen?

That depends on your needs, goals, and level of support. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, especially during eating disorder recovery or times of transition. Others meet every other week or monthly. Your dietitian will help you determine a rhythm that supports your care.

Do I need a referral to work with a dietitian?

In many cases, you can reach out directly to request an appointment. Some insurance plans may require a referral or specific documentation, depending on your benefits. Our team can help you understand what may be needed.

What Nutrition Counseling Sessions May Include

Nutrition counseling is not one-size-fits-all. Your sessions are shaped around your needs, goals, medical history, lived experience, and relationship with food. Depending on what brings you to care, sessions may include:

Exploring your current eating patterns without judgment
Creating realistic meal and snack ideas
Building confidence with grocery shopping, meal planning, or food preparation
Navigating multiple diagnoses and nutrition
Improving sports fueling, energy, recovery, or meal timing
Coordinating care with therapists, doctors, coaches, or other providers when helpful

You do not need to know exactly what you need before reaching out. We will start with where you are and build from there.
