NICOLE "NIKKI" ISAACSON

Nikki Isaacson (she/her) is a Registered Dietitian who offers a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach to care. She specializes in working with individuals ages 10 and up who are navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, pediatric obesity, and chronic health conditions. Her work is grounded in trauma-informed, weight-inclusive nutrition therapy that honors the whole person.

Nikki has particular experience supporting individuals with ARFID and selective eating across the lifespan, as well as those navigating eating disorders alongside co-occurring gastrointestinal concerns, including the thoughtful integration of approaches such as low FODMAP protocols. She also works with clients struggling with rigid food rules, orthorexic tendencies, and those feeling stuck in ambivalent or contemplative stages of change. Additionally, she supports individuals experiencing binge eating, including those navigating appetite and body changes related to GLP-1 medications.

Nikki also works with individuals whose relationship with food is impacted by anxiety, OCD, and panic symptoms. She understands how intrusive thoughts, fear-based avoidance, and physiological anxiety responses can interfere with nourishment, and she integrates supportive, exposure-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming strategies to help clients increase flexibility and safety with food.

Nikki’s goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel safe, seen, and empowered to rebuild trust with their bodies, explore their relationship with food, and cultivate lasting self-compassion. She brings curiosity and warmth to the nutrition counseling process and adapts care to meet each client where they are.

She holds a Master of Public Health in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Michigan and is a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist as well as a Mindful Eating Practitioner. Her practice is evidence-based and flexible. She integrates her clinical expertise with a deep respect for lived experience and client autonomy.

Nikki’s clinical background includes working at The Lotus Collaborative, a leading eating disorder recovery center in California. There, she supported clients across various levels of care and deepened her understanding of how trauma, identity, and environment intersect with nourishment and healing.

In addition to her work with clients, Nikki is passionate about advocacy and reducing weight stigma in healthcare. She enjoys educating fellow providers on implementing inclusive, weight-neutral approaches that promote dignity and equity. Outside of work, Nikki finds joy in playing golf, exploring nature, and watching reality TV with friends. She is honored to walk alongside clients in their journeys toward healing, recovery, and a more peaceful relationship with food and body.
