ARFID Dietitian Team

LEARN MORE

We provide neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed virtual support for individuals (16+) with ARFID or suspected ARFID, as well as caregivers supporting someone with ARFID.

Our work is grounded in a nervous system-informed approach that prioritizes felt safety, autonomy, and individualized support. We believe eating challenges are not about willpower — and that meaningful change happens when care is compassionate, flexible, and aligned with each person’s needs.

We offer 1:1 nutrition counseling, support groups, provider supervision, and trainings for individuals, caregivers, and professionals.

Founded by Lauren Sharifi, MPH, RD, LDN, ARFID Dietitian was created to provide more affirming, accessible, and sustainable support for those navigating ARFID.

NUTRITION SERVICES

We offer 1:1 virtual nutrition counseling for individuals ages 16+ with ARFID or suspected ARFID, along with support for parents and caregivers.

Our team has experience supporting ARFID alongside other eating disorders, ADHD, autism, sensory differences, OCD, anxiety, and depression.

What PEople are saying

Rated 5 out of 5
“We learned that helping our child feel safe around food and eating is a big part of getting her to eat willingly. We are very happy with Lauren's kind and gentle approach, her knowledge of how eating and anxiety can be tied together, and her ability to help with sensory issues.”
Rated 5 out of 5
“Lauren has helped me normalize the way I eat, and has equipped me with tools, tricks, and tips which make eating easier, more manageable, and more tailored to my own strengths and struggles. She has helped me understand the nature of ARFID and debunked many misconceptions which other health care providers have spread in an unsuccessful attempt to get me to eat "better." I highly recommend Lauren's services for adults or children dealing with ARFID! She is such a kind, helpful, and creative person to have on your team!”

“Lauren really helped us with mindset around trying new foods and how to manage the anxiety. Lauren also helped us on a more practical side to decide which foods to try to add in that would fit with preferences. Thank you Lauren for helping us to navigate ARFID and making us feel validated and understood!”
