Can anyone recommend any of these two for a ten year old obese girl? Anyone have experience with one of them? If yes, what was your experience?

I used Leah Wolofsky in the past for my son who is overweight. She is very sweet with kids and took my insurance (Healthfirst) which was a big help. I think she is a registered dietitian (she definitely has a degree in nutrition or she wouldn't be able to accept insurance).
I never used Chaya Stern (although I heard of her) because she was too expensive.

Thanks! Leah doesn't take my insurance so that won't make a difference but I need someone that won't make my daughter feel bad about her weight. She's enough complexes as is.

Leah is a doll. I used her as a nutritionist and I know her on a personal level as well. I would feel
very comfortable sending my child to her.

I've used Chaya stern for myself. I had a great experience with her, and would recommend. I found her to be sympathetic and practical.
She is a PA and definitely has some sort of nutrition qualifications not sure exactly what.
I can answer specific questions if you'd like.

Any nutritionist worth her salt will work with what your kid likes to eat and try to create a meal plan that makes you and your kid happy. I don't think too many people would go to nutritionists if they only allowed them to eat quinoa and broccoli all day.

I went to chaya stern 20 years ago as an 8th grader, and I assume she only got better since. she is very nice and I remember her telling me to go shopping and make sure we have healthy foods in the house that I like, like grape tomatoes, etc.
