About Us
Care that sees the whole person.
Bamboo is a multidisciplinary practice providing you with one place where you can feel settled with the right combination of physical and mental health services.
Why Bamboo?
Growth doesn't always happen where you can see it.
The Chinese bamboo tree is known for spending years developing a strong root system before significant growth becomes visible above the ground.
We love this story because growth doesn't always happen in obvious ways.
Sometimes progress looks like learning to trust your body.
Sometimes it looks like finding your voice.
Sometimes it means working through something that has been weighing on you for years.
Sometimes it's a child learning a new skill, becoming more comfortable with food, or gaining confidence.
And sometimes the first step is simply asking for help.
We believe meaningful growth takes time, support, and the right people beside you.
That's Bamboo.
The Bamboo Model
Different Needs. One Connected Team.
Health and wellbeing rarely fit neatly into one category.
Sometimes you need a dietitian.
Sometimes you need a therapist.
Sometimes you need a speech-language pathologist.
And sometimes more than one perspective can make all the difference.
At Bamboo, our providers each have their own areas of expertise while working within a collaborative practice. When your needs overlap, you have the option to receive support from more than one discipline—all within the same practice.
You don't need to know which provider you need before you reach out.
We'll help you figure out where to start.
What Brings You To Bamboo?
This isn't a checklist. Your needs are unique, and you don't have to figure out which provider you need on your own. We'll help you find the right place to begin.
Nutrition
Nourishment without the noise.
Our dietitians work with children, teens, and adults across a wide range of nutrition needs—from eating disorders and disordered eating to diabetes, GI conditions, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, pediatric nutrition, and more.
We provide individualized, evidence-informed care designed to help you feel more confident navigating food and your health.
Therapy
A place to be heard, understood, and supported.
Our therapists work with children, teens, and adults through concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, body image, relationships, women's health, parenting, and life transitions.
Therapy at Bamboo is individualized and collaborative, with support that meets you where you are.
Speech & Feeding
Helping children communicate, eat, and thrive.
Our speech-language services focus primarily on children and include speech, language, feeding, swallowing, and oral-motor support.
For children with feeding concerns, our SLP can work alongside our pediatric dietitian to consider feeding skills, nutrition, growth, food variety, and overall wellbeing together.
How We Practice
Specialized care. Individualized support. No one-size-fits-all approach.
At Bamboo, we believe good care begins with understanding the individual in front of us.
Our providers have different areas of expertise, allowing us to connect you with someone who understands your specific needs rather than expecting one provider to be an expert in everything.
We value evidence-informed care, individualized treatment, collaboration, and continued learning.
For our nutrition services, we take a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach and recognize that health cannot be reduced to a number on a scale.
For our therapy and speech-language services, care is similarly individualized to the person's goals, needs, development, and circumstances.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all care.
We believe in finding what works for you.
Our mission is to foster growth, self-acceptance, and individuality in all aspects of health and recovery.
Our Values
Build Strong Relationships
Good care begins with trust. We take time to know our clients as people—not just as patients or diagnoses.
Support Growth
Growth can look different for everyone. We support meaningful, sustainable progress while continuing to grow as providers and as a practice.
Care via Collaboration
We believe clients deserve providers who communicate and work together. When needs cross disciplines, we collaborate to provide more connected care.
Invest In Quality
We are committed to evidence-informed, individualized care and to continually learning within our areas of expertise.
Practice with Compassion
We strive to create an environment where people feel respected, heard, and free from shame or stigma.
A Place Where You Can Be Yourself
We want Bamboo to be a place where people feel safe being honest about what they're experiencing.
Our providers strive to create care environments grounded in respect, compassion, dignity, and individuality.
You don't need to look a certain way, eat a certain way, or have everything figured out before you come to Bamboo.
You can come as you are.
This is warmer and much more consistent with the rest of the brand you're developing.
Meet The Bamboo Team
Different specialties. Shared values.
Our team includes registered dietitians, therapists, and speech-language professionals with specialized areas of expertise.
We don't expect one provider to know everything.
Instead, we build a team of specialists who can bring different perspectives to the people we serve.
