About Rachel Harvest

The Harvest Method is a carefully curated team of Registered Dietitians here to help you heal and grow. Our practitioners are trained and additionally certified in functional and integrative medicine and behavioral health nutrition, including eating disorder treatment, dialectical behavior therapy, and food psychology, and they incorporate mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills training in their treatment plans. This combination of specialties and skills training ensures that patients are not only given nutrition information & education but are primed & coached to implement the warranted changes. The Harvest Method encourages incremental shifts, utilizing four pillars of focus—self-knowledge, self-care, self-trust, and self-respect—to create balanced, feasible plans that are tailored to each patient individually. All practitioners are talented and effective in weight management, eating disorders, adolescent/young adult nutrition, pre/peri/postnatal nutrition, pediatric nutrition, oncology, and GI disorders (primarily IBS and IBD). We are highly skilled in supporting stress, anxiety, and sensitivity management. When booking with this practice, you will be paired with the dietitian who is best suited, so please give us some information regarding your needs when you book the appointment. All appointments are provided through telehealth. I\'m a Registered Dietitian with specialties in Functional, Integrative, and Behavioral Medical Nutrition Therapy. After training in and becoming certified to provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy, I launched several online courses in DBT skills, Emotional Intelligence, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness in 2023. The Harvest Method is a play on my name. Still, it is also a proverbial harvest of skills, modalities, techniques, education, and experience. All our practitioners have and use to work with our clients to create behavioral change. We support and encourage self-knowledge as the highest influence on how you care for yourself. Using the harvest method builds trust in the process and respect for your personal needs and skills. It also accepts and honors your individuality and fortifies your unique and integral offering to the world. I am seeking RDs with the IFNCP (or an interest in obtaining it), Experience working with eating disorders, and a minimum of 3 years in a one-on-one nutrition counseling setting. Also seeking partnerships, affiliations, and fun collaborations in wellness and mental health.
