Anamarie Villagomez, MS, RD, LD
(she/they)
Anamarie earned her Bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas and Masters degree from The University of Rhode Island with a focus on Clinical Nutrition. She values the individuality of every client she works with, recognizing that nutrition care is more nuanced and multi-layered than what a textbook, diet, or “one size fits all” approach can provide. With lived experience as a neurodivergent and queer individual, Anamarie brings an awareness of minority identities and how they interact with one’s relationship with food, body, and movement. Overall, Anamarie is dedicated to providing affirming and culturally competent nutrition care for all humans.
Anamarie enjoys working with folks navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, and chronic health struggles. She particularly enjoys working with adults who struggle with chronic eating disorders and may not be ready for change. She values exploring harm reduction strategies alongside nutrition education so folks can make informed decisions about their needs.
Anamarie's greatest strength is creating a warm, supportive environment where clients feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves. She believes meaningful change happens through collaboration and is passionate about helping clients translate nutrition knowledge into practical, sustainable habits that fit their everyday lives. For clients who benefit from additional support, Anamarie may incorporate body doubling during sessions, where clients can work through real-life tasks such as organizing the kitchen, catching up on dishes, or co-creating a realistic meal plan for the week. By meeting clients where they are and focusing on small, meaningful steps, she helps build confidence and lasting habits that support long-term well-being.
In addition to her 1-1 client sessions, Anamarie hosts the Food and Body Support Circle that utilizes art journaling to process the challenges of one's relationship with food, body, and movement. Anamarie has greatly enjoyed facilitating this group and watching the members not only express themselves but connect to each other through drawing, coloring, collaging, or journaling.
Outside of her professional life, Anamarie has a passion for dogs. She is currently training her family golden retriever, Alfie, to become a certified therapy dog. When she is not working or training Alfie, Anamarie loves finding a new creative hyperfixation whether it is arts and crafts, gardening or home organization.
Anamarie is a registered and licensed dietitian in the state of Texas. She is engaging in both in-person at our Central Office and telehealth sessions.
