Allison Sabatino RDN, LDN

Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Hello! My name is Allison, and I’m an eating disorder dietitian located in the Maryland area seeing clients in Greenbelt and Columbia, Maryland and virtually across the USA.

In a world filled with nutrition misinformation and lies about weight and health, I’ve dedicated my work in nutrition to helping others break free from diet culture. By working with folks with eating disorders in various levels of care, I have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the importance of food freedom and body peace.

I am passionate about walking alongside clients and helping them develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies, where they are not controlled by their eating disorder but they are in total control of their lives.

My Approach:

I love learning and listening to others, and my goal is to create an environment where clients feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings. I strive to support clients with empathy and compassion knowing that eating disorder recovery is hard work and full of ups and downs.

I take a Health at Every Size approach – moving away from defining health by merely body size and instead focusing on healthy, sustainable behaviors.

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, including pediatrics. I take a Family Based Therapy-approach to ED treatment of children & adolescents, involving the whole family in the recovery process so that we can collectively fight the ED. I also collaborate with other members of your care team including therapists, school counselors, psychiatrists, doctors, to ensure that you receive the best possible support in your recovery journey.

Happy Clients

“Not only does Allison have a wealth of knowledge about nutrition and the science behind eating disorders, but she also had a deep understanding of the emotional and psychological aspects of disordered eating. She was able to provide me with a safe and non-judgmental space to explore my relationship with food and to develop healthier habits.”

“One of the things that stood out to me the most about working with Allison was her compassion and empathy. She always made me feel heard and understood, and she was able to offer support and guidance in a way that felt personalized and tailored to my needs”
