Dietitian Specializing in Behavior Change Counseling - Remote

Everlong

Everlong

Legal
Arizona, USA
Posted on Jan 30, 2025

IMPORTANT: You must be based and reside in Arizona. At least two years of direct patient-facing counseling experience is required, utilizing skills in therapeutic modalities and behavior change approaches. This is not an eating disorder-focused position—eating disorder patients will only make up a small percentage of your caseload. This position requires a commitment to working normal business hours, 8am to 5pm, just as you would in many other standard full-time positions.

Registered Dietitian Specializing in Behavior Change Counseling

We are seeking a full-time, 100% remote Registered Dietitian who specializes in behavior change counseling, with a focus on motivational interviewing, intuitive eating, and trauma-informed care. This position is ideal for someone passionate about guiding patients through sustainable lifestyle changes using evidence-based counseling techniques. As a behavior change-focused dietitian at Everlong, you will play a pivotal role in helping patients develop a healthier, more balanced relationship with food. You will work with patients long-term, fostering a strong provider-patient relationship built on trust, understanding, and personalized care, helping them identify and overcome the emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges that impact their nutrition and overall well-being.

At Everlong, our success is built on delivering meaningful results and transforming lives.
