About Kaeley

My name is Kaeley Maltez, and I am truly passionate about helping others work towards a healthy relationship with food and their body by challenging diet culture beliefs and working towards achieving unconditional permission to eat all foods. I work primarily with clients struggling with eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge eating disorder, OSFED, ARFID, etc.). In addition to my experience working with clients struggling with eating disorders, I have experience working with athletes and helping clients manage gastrointestinal distress related to comorbid conditions, allergies, and various food restrictions. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you and be a part of your journey to improved mental and physical health.

Approach to care

I aim to help you improve your relationship with food through an anti-diet, all-foods-fit approach. Each session is individualized to meet your specific nutritional needs and goals. I utilize exposure response prevention therapy as clinically appropriate to help reduce/eliminate any discomfort or anxiety you may be experiencing around any particular food item or food-related activity. As a clinician, I want to provide a supportive environment in which you can achieve your goals.

Your first session with Kaeley

The initial nutrition assessment provides me with an opportunity to learn about you and your background, gain insight into your relationship with food, nutrition-related medical history, and assist you in creating short-term and long-term goals for our work together. This session helps me gain a better understanding of how to support you in our future sessions and meet you where you are at!
