Disordered Eating & Eating Disorder Nutrition Counseling
If you’re seeking eating disorder nutrition counseling in California, you don’t have to navigate recovery alone. Whether you’re in the early stages of recognizing a problem, somewhere in the middle of treatment, or working hard to maintain progress, the right nutrition support can make a meaningful difference.
At Fueled Nutrition Therapy, Elika Imandel, MS, RDN, CEDS leads eating disorder nutrition counseling grounded in compassion, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for your autonomy. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, she understands both the science and the emotional complexity of healing your relationship with food.
Food should nourish your life — not take it over. You already know that. Let's get you back there.
Who This Service Is For
Teens and adults recovering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder

Clients stepping down from residential or PHP/IOP treatment who need continued outpatient nutrition support
Parents and families seeking guidance while supporting a child or teen in recovery
What to Expect from Eating Disorder Nutrition Counseling
Eating disorder nutrition counseling at Fueled Nutrition Therapy is collaborative, not prescriptive. Because every client's experience with food is different, every plan is built differently. Rather than handing you a rigid meal plan, Elika works with you to understand your history, your patterns, your fears, and your goals. From there, she builds a plan that actually fits your life.
Initial Assessment
A thorough intake exploring your relationship with food, eating history, current patterns, and goals — no judgment, just understanding.
Treatment Team Collaboration
Elika works alongside your therapist, physician, and other providers to ensure a coordinated, whole-person approach.
Evidence-Based Approaches
Sessions draw on CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Family-Based Treatment (FBT) strategies as appropriate.
Ongoing Support
Regular sessions to check in, adjust the plan, celebrate progress, and troubleshoot challenges as they come up.
Individualized Meal Support
Practical, flexible meal guidance designed around your needs, preferences, and recovery stage — not a generic template.
Telehealth Flexibility
All sessions are virtual, making consistent care accessible from anywhere in California — including the greater LA and Conejo Valley area.
Why Work With a CEDS-Credentialed Dietitian?
Not all dietitians specialize in eating disorders — and for good reason. Beyond nutrition knowledge, this work also requires a deep understanding of the psychological, relational, and neurobiological dimensions of disordered eating. The Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) credential reflects specialized training in exactly that. Elika holds both her MS in Nutrition and her CEDS credential. Furthermore, she brings clinical experience across residential, outpatient, and collegiate athletics settings, having worked with adolescents, adults, and families at every stage of recovery. To learn more about eating disorder treatment standards, visit the National Eating Disorders Association or the Academy for Eating Disorders.
