Teresa Citera

About Teresa

Food has always been more than fuel for me, it's a way to learn, connect, and build habits that last. I have two years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, RDN and CDN, and earned my MS in Nutrition Education from Columbia University. Working in hospital settings taught me how to turn medical data into practical plans patients can use. Outside of work you'll find me at Pilates, baking sourdough, trying new restaurants, or organizing my pantry. I'm passionate about helping clients gain lifelong tools to make healthy choices that fit real life.

Approach to care

Science informs the recommendations I bring to sessions, and empathy shapes how we put those recommendations into practice. I focus on evidence-based, practical steps we can implement together, with clear goals and accountability, so change feels doable. Education is central; I want you to understand the why behind each choice so we can build sustainable habits that last without judgment.

Your first session with Teresa

During our first visit we'll keep things low pressure and collaborative. We'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you have, talk through current routines and past attempts, and identify one or two short-term goals that feel realistic. You don't need to have it all figured out beforehand. We'll translate your health information into clear, actionable next steps and leave with a plan you can actually approach between visits.
