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 started services with Haley in June and it has been so wonderful working her! We have seen great improvement in his speech and recognition. He could not be more happy to see her when she walks in! He loves all the toys she brings ...

    Safe 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!

    For 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 ...

  • 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.

    For 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!

    Olivia 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…

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.
