About Sissell

Hi, I’m Sissell. I’m a Registered Dietitian with five years of experience, based in New York City. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Queens College, CUNY, and I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings, dialysis, and long-term care. My practice blends empathy with science, and I hold an MEd along with RD and LDN credentials. Outside of work, I love exploring new restaurants and cafés, traveling, gardening, and staying active through martial arts and walks by the beach. I’m here to help you build a sustainable, realistic relationship with food.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition is both science and story. My approach is to meet you where you are and guide you with clear, practical steps rather than judgment. We’ll explore your relationship with food, daily routines, and stressors through a holistic lens that considers sleep, activity, and lab data. I practice in a weight-neutral, evidence-informed way, focusing on lasting habits and real life over quick fixes. Together we’ll build knowledge, confidence, and a path you can sustain.

Your first session with Sissell

Our first session is a warm, collaborative conversation about you. We'll create a judgment-free space where you can share your goals, challenges, and what a healthy relationship with food looks like for you. We'll review your medical history, lab work or biometrics, and how your meals feel in daily life. We'll set short-term goals and outline a practical, personalized meal plan. No need to have it all figured out yet; we’ll take it step by step, together.
