Meet Nick
NUTRITION THERAPY WITH A REGISTERED DIETITIAN NUTRITIONIST
FOR EATING DISORDERS, DISORDERED EATING & BODY IMAGE SUPPORT
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Hi there! My name is Nick Funk!
I am an anti-diet, Health At Every Size ® (HAES) informed Registered Dietitian who is committed to helping people heal in their recovery from Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, and a negative relationship with their body and food.
I believe that we don’t need to shrink ourselves to be loved and accepted. ALL bodies are valuable, worthy, and deserving of love and respect. I know that society can make us feel the opposite, but I want to help you confront that belief. Diet culture shouldn’t get to run our lives. Together we can work to resist diet culture and rebuild that connection between your mind and body that allows you to be present and enjoy the experience of eating again.
You deserve to heal and find peace.
A journey to healing takes many different paths, and it is not linear. It often takes many twists and turns and is full of triumphs and challenges. Let’s work together to challenge diet culture and heal your relationship with food!
“Your body knows what it wants and needs. Reconnect, trust, and listen to it.”
Nick's Counseling Style & Approach
In our work, I love to use a combination of approaches during our sessions. Mainly we will focus on the principles of Health At Every Size ® (HAES), the all foods fit model, and intuitive eating.
My approaches are rooted in compassionate curiosity and nonjudgmental, unwavering validation of your lived experience. I am here to support you and always meet you where you’re at. We will work together to help you challenge eating disorder thoughts, battle against diet culture, and rebuild that connection between your mind and body that allows you to enjoy food again.

It can be very scary reaching out for help, but you’re challenging yourself in one of the most significant ways
by taking the step to look for and reach out for help.
Do you feel like you are always preoccupied with food, to the point where you are no longer an active participant in your life?
Are you tired of the constant anxiety and thoughts about food, calories, and shrinking your body?
Do you feel that your body is not good enough and that your value lies solely in your physical appearance?
Are you tired of feeling that you don’t have the willpower to succeed in a diet or in your eating disorder?
You deserve a life without obsession and fear around food.
I am here to meet you where you are at, and help you reclaim trust in your body.
