Wells Ross works with her clients to heal, grow, and find food and body freedom. Wells is a registered and licensed dietitian from Savannah, Georgia. She completed her undergraduate degree in Dietetics at the University of Georgia and completed her supervised practice hours at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center before moving to Atlanta.

Wells began working in the mental health field during a rotation at an eating disorder treatment center while in Oklahoma. That is where she developed her anti-diet, health at every size (HAES) approach to nutrition counseling. Since returning to Georgia in 2020, Wells has worked with the eating disorder population. First, at a residential treatment hospital for pediatric and adolescent eating disorders in Atlanta where she counseled patients at an inpatient, residential, and partial hospitalization level of care. Following this, Wells joined the feeding and eating disorder team at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta helping patients who experienced medical complications due to their eating disorder obtain medical stability.

Since joining Atlanta Wellness Collective in 2021, Wells has found joy in helping not only clients with eating disorders but those who want to better their relationship with food, movement, and their mind-body connection. Diet culture has made eating confusing, it’s Wells’s goal to help you find the truth in the chaos. Wells is also trained in counseling individuals with specific dietary concerns related to medical diagnoses like diabetes, irritable bowel diseases, and other gastrointestinal concerns. Wells values an interdisciplinary approach to mental health, and is happy to collaborate with other members of your mental health team to ensure you receive excellent care.

A note from Wells —

Nutrition plays a huge role in all aspects of your life, including your mental health. My nutritional counseling approach allows clients to make small behavioral changes that can fit in with their realistic lifestyle to see huge changes in their mental and physical health. I want to show you how connected nutrition is for your overall health and wellness, and that nutrition and wellness doesn’t have to be hard.
