I went to Erica with trepidation. I was thinking I was in for a diet of deprivation of foods and rigidity, yet again. But Erica has a way of making sense of how to eat that made me feel so healthy —

I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW MY EATING HABITS WERE CHANGING.

She is smart and knowledgeable, but I think what makes her even more successful with her clients, is her sensitivity to their needs and the warmth in which she encourages them.

When we met Erica Leon three years ago, our 13 year old daughter was medically stable after a one-month hospitalization and six-months’ residential care, but still anorexic in mind and frail in body. Erica has been a pivotal member of the care team that has enabled our daughter to recover and eventually, thrive — socially, emotionally and academically.

Today, at 16, our daughter continues to benefit from Erica’s expertise as she learns to live with normal weight, a healthy relationship with food, and an appreciation for her newly womanly shape. 

Many dietitian-nutritionists have technical understanding of eating disorders’ etiology and treatment.  What has distinguished Erica for us is her integrative thinking and collaborative approach with psychotherapists, medical professionals, educators and parents — and her deep commitment and authentic therapeutic relationship with our daughter.

You’re the best!
And not just as a nutritionist 🙂

I mean you’re an amazing nutritionist and an amazing, inspiring, encouraging person.

Honestly, I was very hesitant to see a nutritionist. But after one session with Erica I was in love with her spirit, compassion, and helpfulness. I had always struggled with my weight, but I realized that my attitude and anxiety about food was more of the problem.

Erica taught me how to manage planning my meals in a non-stressful way and taught me life skills that I use everyday.

I am grateful to have her in my life as a support and advocate for my health.

Our family of 3 has been seeing Erica for a year. ERICA has a very warm, inviting and non-judgmental approach to helping her clients which is important because it quickly established trust with our 9-year old.  

Because of her caring nature, our son has no trouble being truthful and open with her and is very receptive to her suggestions.  

We can tell he enjoys visiting with Erica because he immediately tries to put into practice her suggestions.  Talking with her is more like talking to a close friend than a nutritionist, and as a result she has helped the entire family establish healthier eating habits. We highly recommend Erica. 

I have been working with Erica for the past 8 months.  She is one of the few people who has been able to get “inside of my head” and has thus been able to help me gain very valuable insights into my behavior with respect to food.  Her understanding has been most helpful in my treatment.

Thank you for being so kind and treating me with respect. I just got out of seeing a therapist and dietitian who I feel were not treating me with respect. You made me feel capable and deserving of having true food and body freedom. There is something so real and relatable about you.
