Wellness and Nutrition Counselling at Mercy Center

Wellness and Nutrition Counseling is a specialized service at Mercy Center, designed to address the unique health and behavioral concerns related to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our experienced registered dietitians and counselors work closely with individuals with ASD and their families to provide personalized guidance and support for achieving optimal well-being.

Holistic Approach to Health

At Mercy Center, we believe in the importance of a holistic approach to health. Our Wellness and Nutrition Counseling services focus on not only dietary considerations but also the overall well-being of individuals with ASD. We take into account their unique needs, preferences, and sensory sensitivities to create a comprehensive and effective plan for better health.

Personalized Nutrition Guidance

Every individual with ASD has their own nutritional requirements and challenges. Our registered dietitians conduct thorough assessments, considering factors such as dietary preferences, food aversions, and specific health needs. Based on this information, they create personalized nutrition plans that support the individual’s overall health and development.

Support for Dietary Challenges

Individuals with ASD may face various dietary challenges, including selective eating, food aversions, or sensory issues related to certain textures and tastes. Our counselors and dietitians work collaboratively with clients to address these challenges and develop strategies to broaden their food choices while ensuring adequate nutrient intake.

Promoting Healthy Eating Habits

We understand the importance of healthy eating habits in promoting overall well-being. Our team empowers individuals with ASD to develop positive relationships with food, fostering balanced eating patterns and encouraging the exploration of new foods in a supportive and non-threatening environment.

Nutrition and Behavior Connection

Nutrition plays a significant role in behavior and cognitive function. Our experts explore the connection between nutrition and behavior, helping individuals with ASD manage mood swings, irritability, and hyperactivity through dietary adjustments and balanced meal planning.

Family Involvement and Education

We believe that family involvement is integral to the success of nutrition counseling. Our counselors work closely with families to provide education and resources, equipping them with the tools they need to support their loved ones in making healthy dietary choices at home and in other settings.

Transitioning Support

As individuals with ASD transition to different life stages, their dietary needs may change. Our Wellness and Nutrition Counseling services extend to support individuals through these transitions, ensuring they continue to receive appropriate nutrition guidance and support as they grow and face new challenges.

Embrace a Healthier Future

At Mercy Center, we are committed to empowering individuals with ASD to lead healthier lives through personalized nutrition guidance and wellness support. Our Wellness and Nutrition Counseling services are designed to foster positive relationships with food, promote overall well-being, and empower individuals to embrace a healthier future.
