I’m Tricia McCoy of Professional Care Nutrition Counseling
-
I am a registered and licensed dietitian serving clients in Boston and New York City. My expertise includes treating eating disorders and disordered eating, addressing body image issues for both adults and adolescents, and facilitating recovery from chronic dieting. I employ a non-diet approach to help clients rebuild their relationship with food and cultivate a positive body image.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics from New York University. My professional experience encompasses working in several prominent hospital-based weight management programs in New York City and Boston, where I have played a key role in innovating programs, delivering comprehensive treatment, and supporting patients throughout all stages of weight management.
My approach to nutrition counseling is tailored to my client’s needs and experiences.

My approach to nutrition counseling emphasizes behavior change over prescriptive diets. I focus on fostering habits that support healthy decision-making, understanding the importance of balancing satiety and enjoyment, and avoiding unrealistic expectations. By integrating intuitive eating and mindfulness, I connect with my clients to offer a fresh perspective and promote long-term well-being.
I do not advocate traditional dieting methods, as I believe they can contribute to unhealthy weight gain. Instead, I emphasize the importance of balance, starting with manageable steps and building skills that lead to sustainable, healthy lifestyles.
My practice is designed to help clients move beyond conventional dieting and develop a realistic and healthful approach to eating. My practice is designed to guide clients away from restrictive eating patterns and toward a realistic and healthful way of living. Personally, I embody these principles as a certified spin instructor and yoga teacher who embraces a varied and balanced approach to food.
