Group Nutrition Counseling & Eating Disorder Support Groups

Healing your relationship with food is rarely a solitary journey. Connection, community, and shared experience are powerful forces in recovery, and our nutrition group programs are designed to harness exactly that. At Lutz & Alexander Nutrition Therapy, we offer group nutrition counseling led by our Registered Dietitians, providing a structured, supportive space where individuals can learn, grow, and heal alongside others who truly understand what they are going through.

Why Group Nutrition Counseling?

While individual nutrition therapy offers a deeply personalized experience, group nutrition counseling provides something uniquely valuable: the knowledge and feeling that you are not alone. Hearing others voice your own fears and breakthroughs can be profoundly validating. Group settings also offer opportunities to practice new skills and build relationships with food in a safe, peer-supported environment, and they often make ongoing nutrition support more accessible and affordable.

Our nutrition support groups are facilitated by experienced RDs who bring both clinical expertise and genuine warmth to every session. Groups are intentionally kept small to ensure each participant feels seen, heard, and supported.

Eating Disorder Support Group

Our eating disorder recovery groups are specifically designed to bridge levels of care and provide ongoing, meaningful support for individuals in outpatient eating disorder treatment. If you are looking for an eating disorder support group in Raleigh, our groups offer a structured, dietitian-led space that complements your individual therapy and nutritional care.

Spotlight: ED Recovery Nutrition Group + Meal Support

Our ED Recovery Nutrition Group + Meal Support is a twice-weekly, 90-minute group for individuals stepping down from an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to outpatient care or someone who could benefit from increased support. Led by two of our registered dietitians, this group is designed to add outpatient support, providing structure, accountability, and community during a critical phase of recovery.

Each meeting has two parts:

  • Meal Support — A structured, supervised eating experience that helps participants practice applying nutrition therapy skills in real time, with the encouragement of peers and the guidance of our RDs.
  • Nutrition Group — An educational and process-oriented discussion component where participants explore topics related to eating disorder recovery, intuitive eating, body image, and the practical aspects of rebuilding a healthy relationship with food.

This group is a powerful complement to individual nutrition therapy and is ideal for those who want or would benefit from more frequent touchpoints with dietitian support  and who are not in need of a higher level of care.

Our Group Offerings Evolve Throughout the Year

We offer various nutrition support groups at different times throughout the year, with topics and formats that change based on participant needs and clinician availability. Whether you are in active eating disorder recovery, exploring intuitive eating for the first time, or seeking ongoing peer support, we encourage you to check back regularly for updated group offerings or contact us directly so we can notify you when a relevant group is forming.

We believe healing happens through connection. If you are looking for a nutrition support group near you, or an eating disorder support group in Raleigh, we would love to help you find the right fit. Contact us to learn about current group availability.
