What is the discovery call?
Before your first visit, we will have an introductory call where I’ll ask for some details about your situation and what help you are looking for, then I’ll explain our services, fees, and processes. If you are ready to start working together, we’ll schedule your first visit.
What can I expect during my first visit?
I will ask a series of questions about your health, nutrition and lifestyle history, as well as your current concerns, then we’ll develop an initial plan together.
What if I live outside of Oregon or Washington?
Nutrition By Carrie provides virtual, video-based care (telehealth) via the secure platform Practice Better and is able to serve clients in many states outside of Oregon and Washington virtually. Review our service areas to see if we offer nutrition counseling and therapy in your state.
Do you take my insurance?
I ask that you call your insurance carrier to check on benefits prior to your free introductory call. Please see our insurance guide for helpful tips and assistance.

How long is the first visit?
The first visit is typically about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
What about follow-up appointments?
Subsequent visits are usually 45 to 60 minutes. Most of my new clients start out with scheduling sessions every two weeks, but we can adjust this schedule as needed to give you the support you need and help you work towards your goals. During each session, we’ll discuss what went well and what felt challenging — along with anything else that you identify as important to talk about — then set new mini goals and intentions to help you make progress towards your larger goals.
What if I have questions between appointments?
You’ll have access to my HIPAA-compliant portal. The portal includes a chat function where you can send messages to me securely.

Success Stories
“Thanks to Carrie’s educational resources and gentle input, my understanding of whole body, whole person health has evolved to a place where I feel more at peace with myself. Now I know how to eat well for me. Harsh judgements are infrequent, and embracing my physical self is the new norm. I like this evolved version of myself because I spend far less time focusing on rigid food and exercise requirements. Instead, I invest my energy in being present, enjoying time with my family, and connecting with my friends.”
“Before working with Carrie, I felt like a failure because I was unable to do the one task I needed to do for my health, lose weight. For years I bounced between losing weight and gaining it all back. From my work with Carrie, I now understand the wide breadth of what it means to have a healthy lifestyle. I stopped pursing weight loss and I joyfully eat a large variety of foods, from delicious veggies to satisfying desserts. I enjoy being athletic and I eat to support an active body. I have never had such an easy and balanced relationship with food.”
“Before working with Carrie, I knew that dieting wasn’t working for me, but I did not know what to do instead. I was floundering with conflicting health information and experiencing an increase in various health concerns. During my work with Carrie, I learned to trust myself, challenge my self-critical thinking and stop trying to control and structure my eating and exercise in a way that did not make me feel good physically or psychologically. Carrie herself is amazing. She is very knowledgeable, accepting and supportive.”
