NICOLE TAVERAS-ROMANO, LMHC, CCATP

My name is Nicole Taveras-Romano, BS, MA, LMHC, CCATP, I am the founder of Optimal Life Counseling and Behavioral Nutrition, and I am a licensed therapist who has over 15 years of experience providing mental health services, running eating disorder programs and developing programing for a Department of Public Health licensed clinic. I work with individuals and families to support their process of healing from disordered eating. My referral community of experienced providers work closely as a team to support client's treatment needs.

I have worked with adults, adolescents, children (ages 8-12) and their families (intact and divorced). Helping clients and their families learn when, what and why is the first step in my approach to therapy. I specialize in working with clients with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binging, Night Eating, Food Hoarding, Food Avoidance, and Food Sensory Integration needs. I believe child and adolescent healing from disordered eating can be achieved with family work.

Over the past 15 years I have worked with brave clients/ families who have faced their fears and struggles while learning new ways to eat, connect and thrive. Training in mental health and medical nutrition science led to my passion for Behavioral Nutrition, and my role as the founding director of a multidisciplinary eating disorder clinic in Massachusetts.

Don't continue to struggle with all the ways disordered eating impacts you emotionally, physically and socially. If you have a child or adolescent with an eating disorder, I understand how few things in a parent's life can feel as painful as watching your child struggle with disordered eating.
Convenient weekend virtual sessions are available.
