What Clients Say
My daughter and I found Mariah doing an internet search. I, as a parent was feeling lost and hopeless. Those feelings quickly changed into hope and promise immediately after our first session. Mariah was a perfect fit for my daughter, who was suffering with an eating disorder. In just a short period of time, she lost a large amount of weight from her already tiny frame. I really did not see any solution other than to seek inpatient care. I am glad I explored other options first. Mariah was more than just knowledgeable about poor relationships with food, she's an expert. My daughter clicked with her right away. She really took time to get to know her. She was also knowledgeable about medical impacts on the body and guided us to the appropriate steps to keep everything monitored with our pediatrician. Mariah referred us to a wonderful counselor and has helped my daughter have a better relationship with food. We meet with her weekly or twice a month. Together Mariah and my daughter work on goals and make new plans when things are not working. She has called, emailed, and texted us in-between sessions if needed.

They are incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and clearly care about doing what's best for their clients. 10/10 would recommend.

Mariah shared with me the lessons of intuitive eating and gave me the tools that completely changed how I think about food and being healthy. She took a holistic approach to my nutrition, rather than focusing on a specific diet. She listened to me each step of the way, and I felt like it was a collaborative effort. I looked forward to our weekly check ins.

Mariah has had a key role in my eating disorder recovery journey. She is knowledgeable and evidence-based in her treatments. Beyond that, she is compassionate, patient, and relatable. She has walked with me each step of the way, offering support and encouragement. She has been pivotal in changing the trajectory my health and relationship with food.

You have been so transformational to my relationship with food and words can't describe how much I value the insights and knowledge you have provided me.

Working with Mariah has been incredibly beneficial for me. I struggled with an eating disorder for a long time, and despite having done intensive treatment, I ended up struggling again. Mariah took the time to go at a pace that has made progress a lot more sustainable for me, and has helped me explore different approaches to food and eating that have helped me to gain more confidence in trying new things.
I especially want to highlight that, as someone who lives in a larger body, I know seeking help with eating disorder related issues can be really hard because you never know if a professional may end up being invalidating or harmful. I can say that has not been an issue at all in working with Mariah. It can be really hard to find providers who are truly supportive and are interested in helping you with what will help you have a healthier relationship with food and your body outside of just numbers, but that really is the approach taken here.
I would highly recommend Arbor Center for anyone but especially want to mention my experience for folks who may have had less than positive experiences when seeking help previously due to weight stigma, it's really transformative to work with people who are supportive, and Arbor Center definitely is.

I want to emphasize the true value and impact that Mariah has had on my life. With the tools that Mariah taught me, I made transformational lifestyle changes at home that benefited both me and my husband. We talk more openly about our health and support each other in making healthy choices. Part of those healthy choices includes learning how to find balance and satisfaction, rather than associating food as bad or good. We feel that we now have a sustainable new lifestyle.

When I stated working with Mariah, I was fairly deep in the throws of my restrictive eating disorder, and only just beginning to see that my "health" focused lifestyle was just that - an ED and anything but healthy. I'm now miles ahead in progress from that person I once was, and though I still have many miles to go, I'm confident that a full recovery is in my future thanks to working with Mariah. Our sessions together were informative, productive, encouraging, and all-around comforting. Mariah is knowledgable and compassionate, and it was clear from the get go that she cared; evident in her always asking the right questions and taking the time and effort to learn my story and the ever so complex aspects of my ED. If you're looking to overcome your restrictive eating disorder or disordered eating habits and heal your relationship with food, body, and exercise via an anti-diet and weight-inclusive framework, working with Mariah is the way to go!

Life changing! Mariah is incredible. She has a wealth of information, is willing to go at the speed you are comfortable with and is extremely empathetic. She is more than a standard nutritionist. If you are struggling with an eating disorder or body image issues and find yourself going in circles do yourself a favor and see her. Also for those who have experienced trauma and are in treatment for it you will find that working with Mariah ties in nicely with it. Very grateful I found her!

Mariah Lewis has been nothing but helpful, and so knowledgeable about Eating Disorders, Nutrition, and the steps to take to move forward. I've struggled with eating disorders throughout my entire life, met therapists and multiple doctors along the way, and you can tell she truly cares. Not only is she very aware of one's nutritional needs, but also how they, and eating disorders in general, affect the body and GI tract long term. Because of my bad IBS/SIBO, she's offered to be of help to me/speak with doctors as needed.

I had a very good experience. My provider Mariah was great! She gave me many tools and resources to help me have a better relationship with food again.

I started working with Mariah after she held a class for our community educating us about nutrition. Mariah has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. Well in all honesty, I exceeded my goals because of Mariah’s tutelage. Mariah has helped me better understand nutrition as well as helped with workout and exercise plans. Mariah is a wealth of knowledge, and I am truly grateful for all of her help!
