Michael Maher

I’ve been a practicing Dietetics professional for the last 9 years. I’m a Registered dietitian, licensed in NY state with a Masters degrees in Nutrition - However Nutrition & diet has been a big part of my life way before that.

My passion for Nutrition begin when I experienced the benefits of what proper Nutrition & mindful eating had to offer, in my own personal life. I found it to be so empowering and rewarding for myself - that I knew I wanted a career where I could give this feeling to other people.

I think my biggest strengths as a clinician are being flexible, open-minded, compassionate & being a good communicator. Over the years I’ve developed these skills further by taking additional courses & certifications centered around motivational interviewing & communication.

My professional experience is comprised of a variety of different demographics & populations, Including; Veterans, Behavioral health facility patients, Inpatient Hospital & Acute care patients, as well as Adult, men, women & children groups looking to manage their weight and/or improve their health.

I think professional experience so varied allows me to be able to empathize and connect to a wide-range of people & problems. It also allows me to give truly individualized & personalized care that will help my patients reach whatever goals they’re trying to achieve.
