• Bio: They always ask you why you chose to do what you do, and my answer would be a blend of my upbringing in a sports-centric family, with my father being a head football coach and athletic director, and my personal journey with mental health challenges and a diagnosed eating disorder. Both of these things ignited my passion for nutrition and mental health, inspiring me to become a social worker and an eating disorder and sports dietitian.
  
  As an eating disorder and sports dietitian, I dedicate my practice to helping athletes and active individuals nourish their bodies without the constraints of diet culture. My focus includes disordered eating, eating disorders, and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDS). My mission is to empower others to break free from diet culture, cultivate a positive relationship with food and their bodies, and achieve peak performance.
  
  As a social worker/therapist, I enjoy helping college students and young adults tackle the never-ending challenges that arise from the pressure to be perfect. I strive to provide an environment where individuals can come and know that they do not have to pretend to be this way or that way, but can simply just be. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Solutions-Focused Therapy in my work.
  
  I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Michigan State University, where I immersed myself in athletics, working within the athletic department and as a sports nutrition intern. Following this, I completed an eating disorder-focused dietetic internship at the University of Minnesota and gained valuable experience at a local eating disorder treatment facility in Minneapolis. Most recently, I graduated with a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Michigan, where I developed a diverse set of counseling skills at the Walk-In Counseling Center, and served as the dietitian for women’s gymnastics and track and field/cross-country at the University of Minnesota.
  
  When the opportunity arose to work with college students and young adults facing eating disorders, I founded Kaitlyn Pscodna LLC. As a Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) and Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW), I now operate my private nutrition and mental health practice and collaborate with a dynamic team of sports professionals in a group practice. Additionally, I proudly work as the campus dietitian at Saint Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
