About Sarah

Hello! My name is Dr. Sarah Ludwig, PhD, MS, RDN, LDN. My background is clinical (hospital) nutrition & higher education (undergraduate & graduate levels). My ideal client is an individual serious about wanting change who understands the process will not be complete overnight. The client should understand it will require effort on his / her part, but know that I will be your guide and available to assist when needed between scheduled sessions. I like appointments with clients where they are singularly-focused without a noisy, busy background that can detract from our important work. I believe that my dedication in gaining important needed clinical experience in a hospital setting paired with spending significant time & effort to achieve a PhD in nutrition empowers me to assist individuals to learn how to change their lives. I hope that I will get the honor to work with you to help you achieve your goals!

Approach to care

I describe my counseling style as comprehensive & thorough. I appreciate viewing a person as a whole rather than just the sum of many parts. I approach sessions by evaluating intrinsic motivators, perceived barriers to success, preferences, lifestyle, & other relevant factors because I believe that people are unique, so a "one size fits all" approach cannot encompass all facets of an individual. As a healthcare provider, I like to function as a cheerleader & partner, not a judge. I want to assist in reaching success & celebrate you when we have done so.

Your first session with Sarah

In your first session, you can expect a thorough review of your intake paperwork you have completed prior to our first appointment to ensure all information is correct & clear. This along with your responses to questions during your first appointment will give me a full picture of you & your goals to establish a defined care plan.
