Jill Heaton

Jill has worked in the field of eating disorder treatment since 2015. While most of her experience included working with the child and adolescent population in residential, inpatient, and partial hospitalization levels of care, Jill has experience working with all age groups and various ED diagnoses. Currently, Jill works with adults as well as older adolescents with ARFID and other ED diagnoses. Jill recently completed specialty training for treatment of ARFID, and enjoys working with clients with this diagnosis, taking approaches based on each client’s individualized needs.

Jill's approach to treatment involves moving towards inclusion of all foods, as she believes every food can provide some benefit with consideration for balance and moderation. Jill wants to move her clients away from “good” vs “bad” messaging around food, and toward increased enjoyment of the eating experience. She takes a very individualized approach in her work with clients, and enjoys including nutrition education in sessions as appropriate. She likes to meet clients where they are at in recovery, and collaborate with them when setting goals and creating plans.
