Anna (Anna Marie) Long

I take a Health at Every Size® (HAES) approach to nutrition, which means that I do not believe weight is a valid indicator of health. I believe in making behavior goals, not weight goals. I use an intuitive eating model to help others improve their relationship with food. Both HAES and intuitive eating are evidence-based models. ​ I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and I have a Bachelor's Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and a Master's Degree in Nutritional Sciences. I completed my dietetic internship through the University of Texas at Austin and am currently a Registered and Licensed Dietitian (LD) in Austin, Texas. ​ I regularly participate in supervision and consultation to further my knowledge and understanding in the treatment of eating disorders and associated conditions. I am a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association for Eating Disorder Professionals. CEDS and CEDRD are the same credential for dietitians, as of 2021. ​ As the membership chair of Central Texas Eating Disorder Specialists, I help members get involved and stay connected in the Austin-area eating disorder professional community. ​ Personally, I am Christian and love working with Christian clients who want to integrate faith into their recovery. (Although I work with clients of any background).
