NutritionRx

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not go to her.
I went to go see Alexis at the beginning of this year for an eating disorder. My judgement was clouded, which she knew and took advantage of. She pretended to be a therapist, WHICH SHE DOES NOT HAVE A DEGREE FOR. She blamed my entire eating disorder on my mother, which was completely INACCURATE AND INAPPROPRIATE.
Please, I urge you not to go to her, she is a phony. She will tell you you’re a princess and deserve only the best and then ask for $ 300 out of pocket, and when you can’t afford it she will tell you your parents can and that’s what they are for. And then when she tells you that you need to go to residential she will say that going home for residential treatment is like going back to the scene of the crime. She didn’t want my family to have any part of my recovery, which is ridiculous. Without my family I would not have been able to go through recovery.
FIND ANOTHER NUTRITIONIST AND A CERTIFIED THERAPIST.

STAY AWAY!!!
Once my daughter came to terms with her eating disorder she sought the help of Ms Beck. On her second visit Ms Beck felt she knew my daughter well enough to determine the main reason why she was suffering with an ED. Really? How interesting that she was able to confirm this after spending a total of 2 hours with her! Everything I have been able to learn from other therapists, behavior centers, literature and online searches unanimously and overwhelmingly concur that there are a host of contributing factors– Never one reason! SHE IS A DIETITIAN /​NUTRITIONIST! She is NOT qualified to offer anything more than A tailored diet plan– significantly less than what an individual suffering from an eating disorder needs!
My daughter felt she was being manipulated and led to Ms Beck’s conclusions– not her own. After spending a few weeks of being «talked to», my daughter was able to clear her mind enough to discontinue her sessions with Ms. Beck and seek help elsewhere.
The session costs were considerably higher than anywhere else– either in the NY or Boston areas. My daughter who is independent and works on her own expressed her concern to Ms. Beck about not being able to pay her high fees– to which Ms Beck suggested that this young, financially self-​sufficient women ask her parents, adding that’s what parents are for!!! An unprofessional and inappropriate directive!!! Further proving it is all about the money. Additionally, on two separate occasions, Ms. Beck assured my daughter she would be contacting me. I never received a phone call. How damaging to make a promise to a compromised patient and not follow through. Despicable!
I thank God that my daughter decided to come home, against the recommendation of Ms. Beck, and discontinue communication with her. She advised her to stay in Boston– isolated from any means of family support. All qualified professionals will confirm a support system is a crucial component in the recovery of an individual suffering with an ED. Here, she is getting help, surrounded with the love and encouragement of family, friends and caring professionals.
Be very careful. Therapists –or those who act as a therapist-​can play a significant role in the recovery of an individual with an eating disorder– or they can be very dangerous.

What can i say except that this woman has changed my life for the better!
After avoiding nutritionists for 6 years, having suffered from bulimia and anorexia, i finally took the plunge and sought out help again.
My experience with nutritionists prior to Alexis was cold, very text book «eat this, in this amount, avoid that»…
But the day i met Alexis, my whole perspective changed.
One of the most important things Alexis has imparted to me is the notion that «food is not the issue, it is what you have made the solution.»
She got to know ME, not just my symptoms, while simultaneously taking my health issues very seriously, acting diligently.
After avoiding any inpatient treatment for my bulimia for 7 years, Alexis was the only woman capable of lovingly convincing me to take the plunge, while making sure i received only the best of the best residential treatment.
She has stood by my side through thick and thin, going out of her way to show her support and commitment to me as a person, not just a patient.
At my worst, Alexis has continued to work with me even when finances would not permit, because she is dedicated to her clients, not her financial gains.
This is not a business to Alexis, this is honest and selfless dedication to helping others.
This woman will climb mountains for you, when you cannot, and even when you can.
The change you may not think is possible in regards to your nutritional/​physical/​psychological struggles BECOME POSSIBLE when trusted over into the care of Alexis.

When you first meet Alexis, she promises you the world. She is kind and understanding and you feel like you truly connect with her. When my daughter went to meet with her we specifically asked about insurance coverage, and were told that it would not be a problem. After four visits, we were told that the «insurance thing is not working out and we would have to pay full fare. The office manager explained that Alexis does not need to take people who need insurance reimbursements because she can get plenty of clients who are willing to pay out of their pockets.» So we were basically dumped at the exact time my daughter finally was able to trust someone and was making break thoughs. Their was no concern for the patient, only the bottom line We were told we could get a list of nutritionist that still accepted insurance. Don’t be fooled by the smoke and mirrors. Business comes first here, not the patient’s well being.
