Mental Health Through Connection- With Self and Others.
We believe that lasting change begins with safety, curiosity, and connection. Whether you’re seeking to rebuild your relationship with food, deepen your relationships with others, or reconnect with your inner self, Nurtari offers a supportive space to explore and grow at your own pace.
We provide both therapy and nutrition therapy, recognizing that healing is most effective when mental, emotional, and physical needs are addressed together. Our approach is collaborative and trauma-informed, grounded in the belief that every part of you has a purpose—and that nourishing the body is an essential part of restoring balance and wellbeing.
An Integrative Approach to Healing.
At Nurtari, we provide compassionate, specialized therapy and nutrition therapy for individuals and couples navigating the complexities of trauma, relationship challenges, dissociation, eating disorders, body image concerns, and those pursuing overall wellness. Rooted in deep respect for each person’s unique story, our practice integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and evidence-based nutrition therapy provided by a Registered Dietitian (RD) to support healing at every level—mind, body, and spirit.
We offer virtual and in-person therapy and nutrition services, conveniently located in St. Louis County.
Nurtari: Nurturing all the parts of you
Our offerings

Many clients come to us feeling stuck after years of cycling through treatment, and they discover that with the right support, new pathways are possible.

Group Therapy
Group therapy is a powerful way to heal, connect, and grow alongside others. At Nurtari in St. Louis, MO, our groups provide a safe, therapist-facilitated space for adults to explore emotions, relationship patterns, and personal experiences with the support of peers who are also on a path of deep inner work.
Unlike psychoeducational groups that focus on teaching skills, our process groups emphasize discovery and connection. Members explore how they relate—to themselves, to others, and to the parts of them that carry pain, offer protection, or long for belonging. Common themes include:
Trauma and complex PTSD
Eating disorders and body image struggles
Dissociation and disconnection from self
Anxiety, depression, and relational challenges
At Nurtari, we integrate evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and EMDR-informed practices to support each person’s journey. Group therapy becomes a microcosm of life—a space to notice relationship patterns, express unspoken emotions, and receive reflection and compassion in a contained, supportive environment.
Over time, group participants often experience:
Increased self-awareness and emotional resilience
A reduction in feelings of isolation
Greater capacity for healthy, connected relationships
A deeper sense of belonging—with others and within themselves
If you’re searching for group therapy that addresses eating disorders, trauma, or relational challenges, Nurtari offers a space where healing and connection can thrive.

Led by a dietitian with advanced training in eating disorder treatment, meal support sessions provide guidance before, during, and after a meal or snack. The work extends far beyond simply eating; together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and body sensations that make nourishment difficult or overwhelming.

Reducing food-related anxiety
Challenging disordered beliefs about food, weight, or body image
Practicing mindful, attuned eating
Rebuilding normalized and flexible eating patterns
Supporting emotional regulation and coping skills during meals
Improving confidence in making food choices that align with your needs and values
Nutrition therapy at Nurtari also supports individuals seeking overall wellness, including those wanting to feel more energized, balanced, and connected to their body—without dieting, restriction, or shame-based approaches.
We also provide medical nutrition therapy for conditions such as:
Diabetes (Type 1, Type 2, pre-diabetes)
PCOS
Gastrointestinal concerns
Cardiovascular conditions
Metabolic health concerns
Hormonal and endocrine conditions
Nutrition considerations for athletes or active lifestyles
Nutrition therapy and meal support are appropriate for adults working through:
Anorexia Nervosa (AN)
Bulimia Nervosa (BN)
Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED)
Disordered eating without a formal diagnosis
Wellness-focused or medical nutrition needs requiring specialized care
Sessions may be individual or in small group formats and are often part of a comprehensive, holistic treatment plan. Over time, nutrition therapy helps reduce fear, rebuild trust in the body, stabilize health, and make eating feel safer and more intuitive.
