Theresa Frantzen

About Theresa

Nutrition has been my compass since I earned a BS in Nutrition at CUNY Queens College. For eight years I have worked as an RD in private practice, helping people translate evidence-based guidance into routines that actually fit their days. I love baking and cooking, and I bring that same curiosity to meal experiments we can adapt to your tastes. When I'm not meeting with patients you'll find me running or tinkering in Canva, always looking for simple ways to make healthy habits sustainable and enjoyable.

Approach to care

Grounded in current research, I combine clear, practical steps with warm, judgment-free support. I practice through a Health at Every Size, weight-neutral lens and focus on behavior change rather than quick fixes. We'll work together to understand the science behind recommendations, then translate that knowledge into doable strategies that honor your life, mental health, and preferences. I aim to be both empathetic and direct, giving you actionable next steps while building lasting, sustainable habits.

Your first session with Theresa

Expect a relaxed, curious conversation where we'll review your medical history and explore your relationship with food in a safe, nonjudgmental space. We'll talk about what’s working, what’s frustrating, and what matters most to you, then establish short-term goals that feel manageable. You don't need to have all the answers coming in. Together we'll create a clear, practical plan and a few next steps so you leave feeling supported and confident about where we're headed.
