Campus-Ready: A Summer Support Group for Food Confidence & Body Image


Heading off to college? Let’s get you prepared—without overwhelm, shame, or confusion around food.

If you (or your teen) are about to start college and feeling nervous about how to eat, cook, or manage your body image away from home, you’re not alone. Between dining halls, late-night snacks, unpredictable schedules, and food freedom for the first time—it can feel like a lot.

This 4-week virtual summer group is designed to help high school grads and college-aged students build a solid foundation with food and self-care before they leave home.

What We’ll Cover:

Flexible meal routines for dorms, dining halls, or off-campus living

  • Grocery shopping and campus-friendly kitchen setups

  • How to navigate late-night eating, stress eating, and emotional eating

  • Tools to support body image changes and food-related anxiety

  • How to spot red flags in yourself or others—and what to do next

All in a judgment-free space with expert support.

Who this is for:

This group is a great fit for:

  • College-bound teens who are nervous about feeding themselves

  • Students in eating disorder recovery or with a complicated history around food

  • Anyone craving more confidence and structure around meals—without diet culture

  • Parents who want to give their teen the gift of food freedom before they leave home

Participants in the Campus-Ready group have the option to add on 1:1 nutrition sessions for individualized support. This is completely optional—the group stands alone, but pairing it with personal guidance can help tailor strategies to your needs, especially if you don’t already have a nutritionist you are working with.

Cristina is in-network with Aetna, United Healthcare, and Highmark BCBS. Out-of-pocket and superbill options are available for other plans.
