KATE DALEY NUTRITION & COUNSELING

MY JOURNEY

From the age of four, I've been involved in sports. From T-ball to weekend ski trips to middle school basketball to finding my love for running, I have always found a home in athletics.

​

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of Connecticut. While at UConn, I was highly involved in athletics, competing on the cross-country and track and field teams and working as a sports nutrition intern under the Director of Sports Nutrition.

​

I then earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology at the University of Denver, with a concentration in mental health counseling. I remain connected to DU as a researcher in the Bodies, Eating, and Emotions (BEE) Lab where I study weight stigma, trauma, and disordered eating in marginalized populations.

​

CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

During my dietetic internship, I worked at EDCare in Denver where I gained experience treating high-performing athletes with eating disorders through the Athlete EDGE program. I also have experience working with individuals in eating disorder recovery as a mentor through the Eating Disorder Foundation. Additionally, I am a Nutrition Expert at Voice in Sport™, a platform that advocates for and supports girls and women in sports.

In addition to my role as a dietitian in private practice, I am also a full-time sport and eating disorder psychotherapist for Athlete EDGE at EDCare.

​

As a clinician, I am particularly interested in working with athletes to improve their relationship with food and body so they can achieve their biggest dreams in sport and life.

​

MY PHILOSOPHY

I believe food is so much more than the energy it provides. It is social, cultural, emotional, and, above all, should be FUN! I practice through an anti-diet, weight-inclusive lens where my philosophy is human-first. Human before student. Human before athlete. Human before anything else. My passion lies in helping those with eating disorders relearn to trust their bodies and find food freedom while continuing (if they so choose!) to compete in the sport they love.

​

In my free time, I enjoy running, baking, writing, skiing with my family, traveling, and meeting with friends over coffee.
