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 Cove Foodology doing at home feeding therapy for our Autistic son with severe food aversion for about 7 months or so now, and we could not be more happy about the incredible progress he's made so far! With our first therapist, he started off super anxious and running away from anything edible, and within a short time got comfortable touching and playing games with various food items. I appreciated the always positive, playful and most of all respectful approach. For the last several months we've been working with Haley, who has been so wonderful, always prioritizing rapport and connection before introducing any new challenges, and allowing my son to accept new steps at his own pace. Currently he's gone from not wanting to touch food at all to readily placing food items in his mouth and biting them on request. I give my son a ton of credit for being so brave but I also don't think he'd feel so comfortable about any of it if it weren't for the super supportive, respectful and attuned approach by our wonderful therapist. He's very musical so Haley even took the time to come up with multiple songs to help him understand and accept the next steps. We are so grateful for Cove Foodology and its amazing therapists, who have helped our son overcome severe aversion that we felt helpless about for years. Thank you so much!!!

He could not be more happy to see her when she walks in! He loves all the toys she brings and its amazing to see him so engaged. I am so grateful that we have Haley working so closely with our son, she has made such an incredible impact on his life in such a short amount of time. I can't recommend Haley and Foodology Feeding enough, you will not be disappointed!

November 4, 2023Before feeding therapy, my son was over one years old and still on purées. With Krystal’s help, my son is now THRIVING and eating anything and everything! It’s amazing. At his 2 year doctor appointment even the pediatrician was impressed with how far he has come with eating. Krystal is highly knowledgeable and explains everything she does. Without her help I don’t know where my son would be. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️

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, 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!
