About

Jessica Schleicher

MS, RDN, LDN

Locations: In-person in Missouri / Telehealth across various states

My name is Jessica SchIeicher! I became a dietitian because of my love for food, cooking, and baking, and my belief in how food can make you feel good. I wanted to help others see life beyond their eating disorder. What I enjoy most about working with clients is getting to know people and hearing their stories.

When you work with me, I hope you experience less food noise, a greater enjoyment of food, and more energy. I want you to walk away with an improved quality of life, nutrition guidance tailored specifically to you, and a stronger mind-body connection. I also hope you gain a better understanding of your hunger and fullness cues, along with a deeper sense of connection and understanding to your food/nutrition needs and body.

I Love Working With…

Individuals in midlife who are ready to make peace with food after years of dieting by learning Intuitive Eating as a sustainable approach to honoring their unique nutrition needs

Individuals with eating disorders, including restrictive eating disorders and binge/purge behaviors, who are motivated to do the deeper work of healing

My Approach

My approach integrates foundations of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES®), and individualized to meet your nutrition needs and goals. I aim to meet you where you’re at, using trauma-informed care to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I often incorporate interoception work to help strengthen your mind-body connection and relearn internal cues like hunger and fullness. Alongside this, I draw on skills-based and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help guide your mindset shifts and build sustainable coping strategies. I believe in using goal setting to keep our work together action-oriented, and ensure you leave sessions with tangible steps to achieve the change you desire.
