WHAT DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN?

Marsi works with individuals looking to develop a more trusting relationship with food and their body. She provides expert nutrition counseling for Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, Emotional Eating, Intuitive Eating, Body Image and Weight-Inclusive Medical Nutrition Therapy. Whether you are looking to heal from disordered eating, manage a health condition or generally nourish your body with more care and respect, Marsi can help move you towards your goals.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

There is no pressure to commit to a certain number of sessions. When you book an initial visit, that’s all you will be signing up for. After our first session, we will decide together if and when we will be scheduling a follow up visit.

How long we will be working together and the number of sessions varies for each client. It depends on the purpose of our meeting, your goals, how much support you have, finances and many other factors. Ultimately, this is up to you. Some clients work with me weekly, and some monthly or as needed. The decision to continue sessions and how often can always be discussed and re-evaluated.

WILL INSURANCE COVER OUR SESSIONS?

Marsi is currently in-network with the following insurance companies: Cigna, Aetna and EmblemHealth. Coverage will depend on individual insurance plans and benefits. If you plan to use insurance as a form of payment, please call your insurance company directly PRIOR to our first visit to check nutrition benefits & eligibility. You can use this insurance script as a guide.

If Marsi does not accept your insurance carrier, sessions may still be covered if you have out-of-network nutrition benefits. I can provide you with a documentation called a Superbill upon request that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. You are responsible for payment for all non-covered services. You can review the insurance script for how to check with your plan to see if you are eligible for out-of-network benefits.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?

Payment (visit fee, co-pay and/or co-insurance) is due at the time of service. I accept all major credit cards. Please reach out to me to discuss self-pay rates and packages available. 24-hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Failure to provide 24-hours notice will result in a cancellation fee. Please note, a credit card on file is required to hold appointments.

YOU TALK ABOUT A WEIGHT-INCLUSIVE APPROACH TO COUNSELING, WHAT IF I HAVE WEIGHT CONCERNS?

Nutrition counseling at Nutrition From Within is informed by a weight-inclusive approach which focuses on behaviors, rather than numbers or a specific body weight as key to fueling lasting changes. It is my mission to help you spend less time counting and measuring and more time on the things that really matter to you. However, this does not mean that we are unable to discuss your weight concerns or feelings about your weight in session. I promise to listen to any and of all concerns, including weight, and be there to support you in finding a new, more helpful approach to food.

I ALREADY KNOW A LOT ABOUT NUTRITION, SHOULD I STILL CONSIDER WORKING WITH YOU?

Absolutely! Improving your relationship with food and body is tough and often requires more than just nutrition knowledge. The help of a professional can be quite instrumental in fueling real, lasting transformation. Marsi’s counseling approach combines the science of nutrition with the psychology of behavior change so that you are best supported in your goals.
