#164: Transitioning from all levels of care to private practice with Devon Cole

Devon Cole is a weight inclusive, trauma informed RDN with private practice in Los Angeles. She received her training at Keck Medical Center and Children's Hospital LA and began her work as an RDN working in eating disorder treatment at all levels of care. She has worked at a variety of mental health facilities and schools, including Occidental's Health Center, providing nutritional counseling and running groups. Now solely in private practice, Devon provides a non-diet approach to nutrition therapy that includes mindfulness, embodiment practices, and the principles of intuitive eating and HAES. She works with both adults and adolescents who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating and anyone interested in breaking the cycle of dieting and body shame.

We discuss topics including:

• Working in all levels of care before starting a private practice

• The difference between an RDN working in treatment as opposed to in the outpatient setting

• The importance of working where the client is at

• How treatment provides a certain level of containment

• How to help a client move away from exchanges and counting at meals and snacks

• The importance to validate the client with where they are feeling
