Compassionate, evidence-informed care that honors the whole person.
Embody Nutrition & Integrative Therapies is a telehealth practice serving individuals in Florida and Washington State. Virtual appointments allow you to receive personalized psychotherapy, integrative nutrition, and yoga therapy from the comfort, privacy, and convenience of your own home. Appointments are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of your information.
I work with adolescents (16+) and adults experiencing a wide range of mental and physical health concerns. My practice welcomes individuals seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, body image concerns, digestive health conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and other complex health conditions. Whether you are seeking support for the first time or have been searching for answers for years, my goal is to meet you where you are with thoughtful, individualized care.
Services are available in both English and Spanish.
Three services. One philosophy.
Whether you begin with nutrition support, mental health therapy, or mind-body practices, each service is offered independently and personalized to your individual needs and goals. If appropriate, services can also be thoughtfully integrated over time to provide more comprehensive support.
To support a personalized and flexible approach to care, services are provided on a private-pay basis. This allows treatment to be guided by your individual needs rather than the requirements or limitations of insurance plans.
Many insurance plans include out-of-network benefits, which may reimburse a portion of the cost of services. If your plan offers these benefits, you typically pay for your session upfront and then submit a claim for reimbursement. Depending on your plan, you may be reimbursed for a percentage of the session fee after meeting your out-of-network deductible.
To simplify the reimbursement process for mental health therapy, I have partnered with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients verify their out-of-network benefits and submit claims for reimbursement. If you prefer, I can also provide a superbill for you to submit directly to your insurance carrier.
Please note that Mentaya's services are currently available only for psychotherapy sessions. For nutrition services, I am happy to provide a superbill that you may submit directly to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Because coverage varies by plan, I encourage you to verify your out-of-network benefits before your first appointment.
A limited number of reduced-fee appointments are available based on financial need. If you would like to explore this option, please inquire about current availability.
Virginia (Gigi) Alcalde Davis
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Registered Yoga Teacher with a passion for helping adolescents and adults navigate the intersection of mental and physical health.
My path into this work has been shaped by both professional training and personal experience. Through navigating my own physical and mental health challenges, I found myself searching for a more integrated understanding of healing—one that recognized the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, and the many factors that shape our overall health. That journey continues to shape how I practice today.
I believe symptoms, whether emotional or physical, carry meaningful information rather than represent personal failure. I approach every person I work with and their life story with curiosity, compassion, and clinical depth. I integrate psychotherapy, integrative and functional nutrition, mindfulness, somatic practices, and nervous system-informed interventions to develop individualized treatment plans that reflect each person’s unique experiences, needs, and priorities. When appropriate, I also incorporate laboratory data and functional testing to develop a more comprehensive understanding of a person’s health.
My hope is to create a space where you feel safe enough to better understand yourself and reconnect with your body while finding relief from symptoms and developing practical tools and strategies to move through life with greater balance, resilience, and clarity.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization levels of care. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support people with a wide range of mental health, nutritional, and medical concerns while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary treatment teams.
