I have suffered from anorexia and bulimia since the age of 8. I first went to Trish when I was in middle school and continued for many years, on and off.
She is always late to appointments, so don't schedule anything afterwards and bring a book to read.
She will often cut your appointment short to make up for her next client.
Even if you are doing well in your recovery, she will assume that you are not, and insist that you come in for additional sessions (no doubt so she can pad her wallet).
It was many sessions before I ever got a meal plan; she claimed I 'wasn't ready' for one, for several months before I got one.
She is very hard to get ahold of to schedule/reschedule an appt, which is especially necessary with how late she runs. I once waited over an hour past my appt time and then had to leave to go teach a class. She came out of her office laughing with another colleague (so, not in an appt with a client), and saw me leaving and had the nerve to yell at me down the hallway. She is anything but professional.
Anyone who wants actual help for their eating disorder should try a well known nutritionist in the Charlottesville area. It is a bit of a drive from the Richmond area, but this other woman (who is also recovered) knows her stuff and is worth the drive. I wish I had been able to start seeing her when I was in middle school. I have no doubt I would not still be struggling with this insidious disease 20+ years later.

Unless you suffer from anorexia or bulimia, Trish Wilkins is a poor excuse for a nutritionist. Because she herself suffered from an eating disorder, she assumes that EVERYONE does and, in doing so, treats everyone the same.

When I saw her in 2009, my weight and BMI were within the normal range. I went to her for some simple nutrition advice, to include a meal plan and other suggestions on how to lose a few pounds and maintain adequate nutrition through healthy eating. She delivered none of the above, even failing to answer specific questions I had.

One of the most ludicrous things she told me was that I should eat cake (my favorite "bad" food) for every meal, and in front of other people, so that I could rid myself of my shame about eating it. It was clear that she assumed I had an eating disorder, and needed to overcome my "shame" about eating. I do not now, nor have I ever had an eating disorder; nor did I indicate that to her in any way during our session. This was in our initial session. Other than that, she played with plastic food on a plate to show me what a serving size is. While that was helpful, it was information I already knew. She never provided a meal plan or any specific advice on nutrition. In my opinion, advising anyone to eat as much cake as they want is not only ridiculous, but in the case of someone who really does suffer from an E.D. is also reckless.

Our second session was just as useless as the first; additionally, she was 30 minutes late for my appointment, while I could hear her laughing and shooting the breeze with someone down the hall.

We never had a third session, due to her mistake in scheduling the next appointment, and failure to return to my phone call to try to get another appointment.

If you are an average person who just wants some expert advice on how to be healthier, choose a different nutritionist. If you do suffer from an eating disorder, and want to chat with someone who understands what you are going through, she is probably a good choice for you.
