About Us

----- Welcome to horizon -----

We’re so glad you’re here!

Horizon Nutrition Counseling Dietitians are trauma-informed, compassionate providers. We bring personal and professional experience weaving behavioral and psychological therapies into our nutrition counseling approach for eating disorders, addiction and mental illnesses. 

 

Our Mission

Our purpose is to be the steady horizon through the unsteady journey to recovery. Horizon Nutrition Counseling is a group dietetics practice that walks alongside individuals and their families through the journey to recovery from disordered eating, eating disorders and poor body image. Rediscover your relationship with food and master flexibility to nourish the mind and body.

the story behind horizon

Look past the ocean waves and find the horizon. It’s steady, its constant, it’s there even when you can’t see it, whether it’s in the night or in a storm. The horizon is a guide but most importantly, it’s a reminder to always have hope. Crystal grew up on a small island where she learned the ocean, horizon and beach are always there. Looking out to the horizon was something that created balance, resiliency and a calmness for her. When she couldn’t see it, she could always hear it, she could smell the salty air, and feel the breeze. There are so many powerful metaphors the horizon offers; it is her hope to be the steady horizon for her family and friends, her team and her clients.

“Take what you need, and follow the horizon.” – Crystal

Client Testimony

“Crystal believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. When she says she walks beside you through the hardest times, she absolutely does! She was the safest person for me in my eating disorder recovery, she led through it, healed my relationship with food and helped me learn to trust my body.”

Client testimony

“Crystal was recommended by my son’s pediatrician for ARFID and malnutrition. Our first meeting Crystal was so reassuring that there was hope and we weren’t going to have to do this on our own. She worked with my son and our whole family. She understood what my son was going through and coached his dad and I to know how to support our son, challenge him, and work through the hard days. Our son eats so many foods now and we can go out to eat as a family again.”

Client Testimony

“I met Jennifer while in residential treatment and was lucky enough to see her at Horizon when I discharged. Her warmth and compassion during my hardest times gave me hope. I didn’t know how bad my eating disorder was when I was in my addiction. Jennifer was there for me when it came rushing back after I got sober.  She gave me a plan, skills and support. She is the best!”
