New York Feeding Therapy Services
Are you looking for the best feeding therapy that New York has to offer?
At Foodology Feeding Therapy in New York, we stand apart from the typical insurance-based, larger clinics. We specialize exclusively in serving children with severe and fearful feeding issues—diving deep to uncover the root causes of picky eating, ARFID, and sensory feeding challenges. Our personalized, niche approach means your child gets the focused, compassionate care they truly deserve, whether in person at our Central Long Island, NY location or virtually from anywhere.
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.

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.

July 13, 2024My 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 them do that right before your eyes is the best feeling in the world. I don’t know what I would do without their help. They have made such an impact on my child’s life. I highly recommend this company if your child has any speech needs!

December 8, 2023Unlocking Mealtimes was a true gift to our family. By the time our youngest daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease, she had narrowed her accepted foods down to a bare minimum. I was out of ideas, patience, and time—while she was not growing at all. As a mom, I couldn’t help but feel like I had done something wrong. We had already done in person speech and feeding therapy which didn't work, and didn't feel right. Christine and her program provided the encouragement and tools I needed to break the unhelpful patterns I had fallen into. The mindset portion of the curriculum was, for us, possibly the most important piece. By combining gut-healing strategies with mindset shifts and steady encouragement, our daughter has begun a lifelong healing journey. She is now eating, trying new foods, and finally growing. Her academics are improving because of better nutrition—and she’s even eating foods I never touched as a child!

September 5, 2025Safe and Sound Protocol Review: I have two daughters and each of them individually benefited from the Safe and Sound Protocol. My ten year old is chronically anxious about everything in her life and struggles with executive dysfunction and getting needed tasks done. She also has a very hard time with her emotions. She was wanting to try herself to see if it would help her- within only a week of starting , she noticed a difference . She verbally was telling me how much less anxious she was- we saw how she was starting to better control her emotions and not always resort to crying immediately- fast forward a few weeks later and we have seen such a difference in her. She actually puts herself out there now, even auditioning for a role at school which she never would have done in the past. We are able to have many conversations now without it ending in crying or shutting down. I’m incredibly happy we gave this program a chance and would really recommend it to anyone who has a child who really is struggling with any type of emotional . Dysregulation. My other daughter is younger (6 years old) and has a language processing delay as well as ADHD . She has some anxiety too, but we wanted to try this program to help promote more balance and focus in her life. She first struggled to sit even 5 minutes calmly to listen - by end of week two she was asking to sit all on her own 15-20 minutes . I was blown away- never in the 6 years we have had her was she ever able to sit calmly for that long of a period of time. We noticed her reading was improving in school- and her therapy sessions- because she was able to focus better on the material! She went through some testing recently and was getting 100 percent on all the material being taught in Kindergarten. I was really blown away for both of my kids- and really would recommend anyone on the fence to give it a try!

July 13, 2024For the last 6 months, our family has had the privilege of working with Haley. Our child is a late talker, and very cautious around strangers. Within two weeks, she built a great rapport and has helped our child to make great improvements in communication. She conducts her sessions during school hours, and is very well respected by all of the teachers, who tout her as an invaluable resource. Love love love Haley! Highly recommend her services!

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, NY 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 feeding therapy for kids In New York?
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 start, the quicker and easier they are to resolve!
