Hello! I am Nicole Mesita, a registered dietitian, and I am thrilled to bring my experience as a nutrition therapist to the Pivot Counseling team! I have been working with mental health providers for the entire length of my career as a registered dietitian and I believe that when nutrition suffers, every part of you suffers. That’s why I believe in a collaborative approach - where dietitians and therapists work together to support your whole self: physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I am passionate about building genuine, trusting relationships with my clients where you can open up and share your unique story about your complex relationship with food. Whether supporting someone through a life-threatening eating disorder or guiding them toward freedom from chronic dieting, I create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel seen and heard. My mission is simple: to help people of all body sizes achieve health through a peaceful relationship with food, movement, and their bodies.

While I work with clients from all faith or non-faith backgrounds, I also specialize in Christian member care. When integrating spirituality, I take a client-led, respectful approach that honors each individual’s journey and beliefs.
