Atlanta Dietitian Nutritionist
Nutrition isn’t just about what you eat—it’s how your body responds to it. Fueling your body effectively requires understanding how conditions like PCOS, IBS, or food intolerances interact with your unique metabolic needs.
Our registered dietitians provide practical, science-backed guidance to help you feel in control of your nutrition—not overwhelmed by it. Our Atlanta-based team is trained to help with a wide range of food-related concerns, including eating habits, digestion, and chronic conditions. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, we develop personalized plans that reflect your health history, preferences, and goals. We focus on helping you rebuild a more peaceful and confident relationship with food, based on trust—not fear or guilt.
Eating shouldn’t feel like a daily battle. If you’re tired of second-guessing what, when, or how much to eat, you’re not alone.
We’re here to simplify the process. When you work with one of our licensed dietitian nutritionists, you’ll receive nutrition counseling that reflects your unique body, lifestyle, and values. We help you set clear, realistic goals and support your progress in a judgment-free, collaborative environment.
Nutrition counseling at Best Within You Therapy & Wellness is led by Morgan Cherry, MS, RDN, LD and Kelly Corrigan, RD, LD, CDCES—both licensed in the state of Georgia. Your first appointment is a 50–55 minute intake session. Follow-ups are available in 30- or 45-minute formats based on your needs. We provide care for children, teens, adults, and families—virtually or in person.
We intentionally limit our caseload to ensure every client receives dedicated time, focus, and personalized support. New client appointments are currently available.
SPECIALITIES
Eating Disorder Dietitian
Our Atlanta dietitian nutritionists bring extensive experience and advanced training in treating disordered eating and body image concerns. Kelly currently leads the eating disorder nutrition program at Kaiser Permanente. Morgan has provided care in three eating disorder treatment centers alongside her work in private practice. Together, they help clients navigate binge eating, emotional eating, anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, restrictive eating patterns, and body image distress.
Their approach is grounded in a weight-inclusive, non-diet philosophy.
They respect body diversity and never assign value to body size or shape.
Food and movement are framed as ways to support the body—not punish it.
Their work centers on personalized, evidence-based strategies that promote health and well-being without rigid rules or restriction.
“My goal is to help you move beyond diet culture using evidence-based tools.
We’ll break down the misinformation you’ve internalized and build a new relationship with food—one that includes flexibility and choice.”
— Morgan Cherry, RDN, LD
“All food has a place. We’ll explore how to listen to your body, understand hunger and fullness cues, and release the pressure to eat ‘perfectly.’
There are no forbidden foods—just space to reconnect with trust and self-awareness.”
— Kelly Corrigan, RD, LD
Gastro Intestinal Issues, Food Allergies, Food Sensitivities
A food intolerance affects the digestive system and can lead to symptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, cramps, or nausea. In contrast, a food allergy involves the immune system and can trigger adverse reactions that range from mild discomfort to life-threatening episodes. Food allergies impact a small portion of the population—typically 1–2%—and often produce immediate, recognizable symptoms after consuming the triggering food. Because of this consistent timing, many individuals can identify their allergen without testing.
Food sensitivity, sometimes referred to as a delayed allergy, is more complex. Symptoms can appear anywhere from 45 minutes to several days after consumption, making it difficult to pinpoint the cause. Unlike allergies, sensitivities often result in chronic discomfort rather than acute reactions.
Navigating food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities can be confusing—especially in social settings or after a vague diagnosis like IBS. Our registered dietitian nutritionists can help you identify patterns in your eating habits and explore the role certain foods may play in your symptoms. We take a whole-person approach, considering both dietary and non-dietary factors that could be contributing to digestive discomfort. We also offer food sensitivity testing when appropriate. Kelly, one of our licensed dietitian nutritionists, can guide you through this process and help interpret results to better understand what’s affecting your body.
Diabetes
Are you confused about all the diabetes information you hear and read? Do you wonder why your blood sugar readings vary from day to day—even when you eat the same food, in the same amount, at the same time? If so, you can meet with our dietitian, who will help break down the myths and confusion around diabetes. They’ll work with you to understand what’s driving those changes and help you respond with clarity and confidence. We work with many clients managing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Womens’s Health
Kelly Corrigan brings a strong background in women’s health, having previously worked in an OB/GYN office. She is uniquely equipped to support clients through pregnancy, postpartum, and related stages of life. As a certified lactation consultant, Kelly works with expectant and new mothers, as well as infants and children, to address nutrition and breastfeeding needs. She also has extensive experience helping clients manage PCOS and other women’s health conditions through individualized, evidence-based care.
FAQ
Why work with our team versus another dietitian nutritionist?
Our team of Atlanta dietitian nutritionists have specialized nutrition training and experience. Our team has specific training related to disordered eating, diabetes, pregnancy and breast feeding, irritable bowel syndrome, food allergies, to name a few areas of their expertise. The Best Within You Therapy & Wellness dietitians nutritionists have experience working at medical centers, obstetrics and gynecology offices, as well as eating disorder treatment centers. Their warm personalities put clients at ease during nutrition counseling. They create a shame free non-intimidating environment for clients to meet their nutrition goals.
Our nutritionists work within a therapy practice, which means if during your work together you decide you want to work with a therapist they can seamlessly refer you to one. You would be able to have a dietitian nutritionist and therapist on the same team working together. By no means do you have to do therapy or work with a therapist at our practice, but by getting nutrition counseling at Best Within You Therapy & Wellness this option is incredibly accessible if you would like it.
What is the difference between a nutritionist and a registered dietitian nutritionist?
Morgan and Kelly are registered dietitian nutritionists and licensed dietitians (RDN/ LD). Using the term “dietitian” or “registered dietitian” is legally protected. Becoming a registered dietitian nutritionist requires a bachelor of science in food and nutrition, completion of a 1 year dietetic internship accredited by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, board certification, and then licensure. A registered dietitian also has to do continuing education to keep up the national (RD or RDN) and Georgia license (LD). The biggest difference between a registered dietitian nutritionist and a nutritionist is level of education and licensure. In many states a nutritionist can practice without a license.
