Long Island Feeding Therapy Services
Are you looking for the best feeding therapy that Long Island has to offer?
At Foodology Feeding Therapy in Long Island NY, we stand apart from the typical insurance-based, larger clinics. We specialize exclusively in serving children and teens with severe and fearful feeding issues—diving deep to uncover the root causes of picky eating, PFD, ARFID, and sensory feeding challenges. Whether in person at our Central Long Island location or virtually from anywhere in the world.
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.

Excellent team for supporting my son. Much appreciated!

June 30, 2024Thank you for the Reki Master Healing. Even though it was distant, it was so powerful. Most people would not believe what happened. I had a occipital migraine. That’s what I call it where I can’t see through the spectrum of light after Christine sent Reiki to me for five minutes, the light and the cracked illusions that I was experiencing began to fade away. She completed the healing, and there was only a little band of distortion left after resting for a couple of minutes only my vision was clear, and the migraine had totally disappeared. Thank you so much Christine you are an awesome healer. -Lorry Salluzzi Sensei , Reiki Máster

October 24, 2023Our speech therapist, Haylee, is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, prompt, attentive, stays the entire session, and really makes sure she is connecting. She even thinks about her students when she’s off the clock; she saw a toy we were looking for when she was out shopping and sent us a text and offered to pick it up for us. This above and beyond and considerate nature will ensure that we remain friends long after our speech therapy has ended. Highly recommend!

December 4, 2023Olivia is very friendly and extremely engaging with my daughter. My daughter has a fear for doctors and nurses in general or even family members sometimes but the from the moment Olivia walk in I don’t think there’s any time where she cried or didn’t want to do her therapy. My daughter has progressed a lot in the little time span and that’s all thanks to the hard-work of Olivia.. She has a way to make feeding interesting and she takes her time with my daughter… I can’t recommend her enough…

December 13, 2023I have nothing but good things to say about this place. They have helped my daughter tremendously in the past year. If you have a child that is struggling to eat or has a fear of food or of different texture, I would highly recommend giving them a call. They are so sweet and gentle with my child yet, extremely effective at the same time.

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?
Yes, we do offer in-home feeding therapy! Our ability to travel depends on your location and therapist availability, but we regularly see children in their homes throughout Long Island, including Suffolk and Nassau County. Call us to learn more about availability and travel fees for your area.
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.
What age do you start therapy for kids on Long Island?
We work with children from infancy through school-age. Feeding challenges can show up early — and it’s never too soon to start getting help. In fact, the sooner you get help, the quicker and easier it is to remediate the issues.
