Teresa Thompson

About Teresa

After earning a BS in Nutritional Sciences from Pennsylvania State University, I obtained my Reigsitered Dietitian credential through The Ohio State University's dietetic internship program. I have spent the past 8 years working in various settings - from foodservice, private practice, and acute critical care for both adult and pediatric populations. My training as a CNSC (Certified Nutrition Support Specialist) allows me to bring evidenced based clinical skills into counseling sessions. Outside of work I love running, biking, cooking and baking, reading, and spending time outdoors with husband, daughter, and friends. There's not a nutrition topic I don't love to discuss!

Approach to care

I center care in current evidence while keeping things warm, practical and nonjudgmental. We'll focus on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes, using clear, research-backed steps that fit your life. I understand that life is rarely cut and dry, and I'll work with you to address concerns and identify reasonable and attainable solutions.

Your first session with Teresa

Expect a relaxed, collaborative conversation where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you have. We'll talk about what’s worked for you, what hasn’t, and identify current barriers and needs so we can set some short-term, realistic goals. You don’t need to have everything figured out - that's what I'm here for! My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling supported with a clear path forward.
