Food Therapy Services

Feeding struggles are rarely “just picky eating.”

At Foodology Feeding Therapy, we take a whole-child, systems-based approach to feeding. Instead of focusing only on behavior or exposure, we look at how your child’s oral-motor skills, sensory processing, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and mindset interact to shape how they eat — and how eating feels in their body.

Most feeding evaluations look at skills in isolation. This approach looks at the full picture, which is why families often experience clearer answers and more sustainable progress — without pressure, force, or endless trial-and-error.

  • My son has had services since early September, and I have seen significant improvement in his communication since. He lights up when his teacher Haley arrives and is ready to engage. Every parent wants to see their child excel, and watching ...

    We've been working with my son’s speech therapist, Olivia, for several months now, and we can't express enough gratitude for her unwavering dedication and professionalism. Dealing with our lively little guy, who's bursting with energy and personality, can be a handful. However, Olivia's patience is truly superhuman, turning potential chaos into a collaborative adventure that makes each session feel like a playdate. What sets Olivia apart is her commitment to going beyond the routine. She doesn't just follow a set plan; she adapts and evolves based on our kid's ever-changing needs. It's like having a therapist who customizes each session to fit our little one's unique personality and progress. One of Olivia's incredible talents is her knack for uncovering hidden gems that truly resonate with our boy. She comes to our home armed with a massive bag of educational toys, a modern-day Mary Poppins. Each session feels like a magical unveiling as she selects just the right tool to capture our son's interest and fuel his language development.

    My son was barely speaking at his second birthday and now that he’s recently turned three he’s come so far working with Olivia. Not only has she helped him with his speech and clarity but she has become one of his favorite people. He asks all the time if Olivia is coming over and whenever we do things he can’t wait to tell her about it. We’ve worked with other speech therapists before with our all of our kids and Olivia has been the best. She makes learning fun and engaging. Plus she’s teaching speech while also being educational and going over colors, seasons, shapes, etc. We would highly recommend her help!

    My son just recently graduated out of the program. It was not an easy process to get him to where he is now. He can be extremely stubborn at times but his therapist Krystal was so patient and positive each session. When the sessions were done, often times she would share info and links to get the tools she used with him so we could work with him at home. We were able to text her updates and videos throughout the week and she would provide feedback immediately. I believe this helped us as parents to stay as consistent as possible with the exercises at home. I really appreciate everything Krystal has done for us. We will continue to use the strategies shown to us to ensure my son is able to eat age appropriate foods independently like his peers.

FAQs

The most frequently asked questions we hear

Do You Take Insurance?
We Fill the Gap That Insurance-Based Clinics Often Miss

Unlike most insurance-based therapy providers, we don’t just check a box or follow a 6-session template.
We specialize in complex, layered feeding cases — the ones that often get dismissed, delayed, or underserved in traditional systems.

That’s why we’re private-pay only — so we can provide the depth of evaluation, individualized planning, and ongoing support these families truly need.

But we also know cost matters.

We offer tools to help families access out-of-network reimbursement:

  • A downloadable Insurance Appeal Toolkit with ready-to-use templates and parent guides

  • Customized superbills that reflect medically necessary services and align with insurer language

Can You Travel To My Home?

We do! It depends on your location, and therapist availability, but we see many kids in home! Call to get availability and pricing for travel.

I have an evaluation from a previous facility, do I still need one?

It depends and is determined on a case by case basis. Okay If the evaluation is over a year old, we would need to re-do the evaluation.

Due to the comprehensive nature of our evaluations, many evaluations are just not detailed enough to give us the information we need. 

We will look over the evaluation free of charge and let you know if it can be used to start services.

Can we do it virtually over video chat?

Yes! We can work with you virtually as well as in-person. Please feel free to reach out to us and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.
