Description

Neurodivergent & ED Specialist | In-Network with Insurance | HAES®-Aligned

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn Ashner (she/her/they). As the “Divergent Dietitian,” I don’t just accept your neurodivergence; I design nutrition care for it.

I specialize in the complex intersection of AuDHD (Autism/ADHD) and Eating Disorder Recovery. My practice is an active shield against weight stigma. We reject the use of weight or BMI as proxies for health and instead focus on sustainable practices that support your well-being without the shame of diet culture.

Stop fighting your brain. I help clients navigate:

The ED/Neurotype Overlap: Untangling ARFID, sensory processing differences, and the binge-restrict cycle.

Executive Dysfunction: Realistic strategies for when “meal prep” is impossible and you need low-demand options.

Interoception & Safety: Reconnecting with hunger cues in a way that respects your sensory needs, rather than forcing standard “intuitive eating” rules.

My Approach: We move away from rigid, externally regulated plans to co-create a system that honors your unique wiring. Grounded in a social justice framework , I acknowledge how bias impacts your care and partner with you to advocate for your needs in a medical system that often misunderstands both weight and neurodivergence.

Services & Access:

Virtual 1:1 Counseling: I partner with Nourish to accept most major insurance plans, ensuring safe and affordable access to care.

Specialties: Anorexia, Bulimia, BED, ARFID, Chronic Dieting, Disordered Eating, Neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+.

Next Steps: I invite you to explore my website to see if my approach feels like a safe, sensory-friendly fit for your recovery journey.
