Clara Citron, RDN

Personality:
Clara brings a warm and compassionate approach to her work, creating a judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable sharing their goals and challenges. Her style is professional yet approachable, blending empathy with evidence-based guidance to support each person’s unique journey. Clara values open communication, active listening, and meeting clients exactly where they are, so they feel encouraged and supported every step of the way.

Background:

Clara earned her Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Food Studies from New York University (NYU). Following graduation, she completed her dietetic internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Nutrition Education at American University in Washington, DC. Clara has worked in both clinical and outpatient settings, but finds her greatest fulfillment in the counseling environment, where she thrives in helping clients make meaningful, sustainable changes.

Counseling Philosophy:
Clara’s approach to care is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. She believes nutrition counseling works best when personalized—there’s no one-size-fits-all plan. Clara takes time to understand each client’s health history, lifestyle, preferences, and goals, then develops practical, sustainable strategies for success. While experienced in weight management, Clara does not focus solely on the scale. She emphasizes overall health, sustainable habits, and how clients feel—physically and mentally—throughout their journey. Progress is measured by improvements in energy, strength, lab values, relationship with food, and quality of life. Clara creates a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel heard and empowered. Whether supporting metabolic health, women’s health, or managing heart conditions, her goal is to equip clients with the tools and confidence for lifelong wellness.
