Casey McCoy, MPH, RDN, CD

Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Hi, I’m Casey

(she/her)

Casey McCoy, registered dietitian nutritionist and eating disorder expert

I am a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders, chronic dieting, and health management through a weight inclusive lens.

I am an expert in eating disorder treatment with several years of experience working in a pediatric setting. My specialty is adolescent health and eating disorders, but I also love working with folks of all ages who are trying to improve their health and wellbeing sustainably. I help clients shift their focus towards a more nurturing and intuitive approach to self-care. The most rewarding part of my job is witnessing clients find liberation from the diet mentality, learn to trust their bodies, and heal their relationships with food.

I am a fat- , queer-, and neurodivergent-affirming clinician and I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own body. If you’re tired of chronic dieting without results and open to a new approach that makes you feel better emotionally and physically, let’s chat!

When I’m not working, you can find me romping around the Pacific Northwest with my partner and two dogs or crafting while watching bad reality tv.

Areas of Expertise:

  • I work with adults, young adults, and teens 13+ with eating disorder diagnoses including:

    • Anorexia Nervosa

    • Bulimia Nervosa

    • Binge Eating Disorder

    • Orthorexia

    • Other specified feeding/eating disorder (OSFED)

  • What is family based treatment?

    FBT is considered the gold standard treatment option for teens with eating disorders. In the first phase of FBT, parents manage eating with support from an interdisciplinary team led by an FBT therapist. As a member of your FBT team, I will work with parents to help your child refeed so that they can heal their bodies, learn nutrition skills, and regain independence with food.

  • Disordered eating is characterized by a variety of symptoms and behaviors including:

    • chronic dieting

    • dysregulated eating patterns

    • binge eating

    • excessive hunger or cravings

    • eliminating foods or food groups

    • obsessing or thinking about food

    • feeling out of control around food

    • desire to alter body shape/size by changing eating

    • obsession with “healthy” foods

  • What is intuitive eating?

    Intuitive eating is an attuned form of self care where eating is joyful, peaceful, satisfying, and supportive of a full and healthy life. I will help you ditch the diet mentality and find a way of eating that meets all of your needs, physically and emotionally.

  • As a HAES® aligned dietitian, I acknowledge the existence of systemic fatphobia and the toll that it takes on our health and wellbeing. I provide evidence-based nutrition care for a number of chronic health conditions without focusing on weight or body size.
