About Nicole

Hi, I’m Nicole Castro, a registered dietitian in Queens, NY. I have extensive experience counseling families through WIC, including prenatal and postnatal women, infants, and children. Having served underserved communities—and being raised in one myself—I understand the challenges of eating healthy on a budget and tailor my approach to be flexible and practical. As a mom of a toddler, I also understand the realities of feeding a busy family and the need for simple, nutritious meals. My experience in menu planning and analysis, including work with schools and senior centers, equips me to help with meal prep for individuals and families. I’m here to support you in creating realistic, sustainable habits that fit your lifestyle. Looking forward to supporting your journey!

Approach to care

My approach to care is inclusive, adaptable and patient-centered, ensuring that you feel heard and supported. I use motivational interviewing and active listening to understand your needs and serve as your accountability partner. I meet you where you are in your readiness to change, and we can always adjust or readdress goals and plans as needed to fit your evolving journey.

Your first session with Nicole

In our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other. I'll ask about your health history, lifestyle, and goals so I can better understand your unique needs. This is a judgment-free space where we can explore your relationship with food, any challenges you're facing, and how we can work together to create a personalized plan that feels right for you!
