Samantha Diminutto
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS-AT
ADHD and self-esteem issues often overlap - including body image and sometimes body dysmorphia. In our work together, we can dismantle some of these negative thought patterns and replace them with a more self-compassionate perspective. Improving our relationship with our bodies makes a huge impact on our quality of life!
With my passion for supporting folx in queer community, I also specialize in helping gender-diverse and trans humans to explore identity and gender dysphoria.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Issues around body image are largely linked to harsh self-judgments, which often interfere with the ability to live a rich and fulfilling life. In therapy, I help you gain insight into some of the thoughts and emotions that prevent the establishment of self-worth and self-love. Through various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive restructuring and a focus on values-oriented work, we work collaboratively to help move away from self-defeating thoughts and closer toward experiences that promote healing.

Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we provide specialized care for individuals navigating body image challenges, particularly in the context of gender dysphoria and the struggle for alignment between one’s internal identity and external appearance. Our therapeutic focus centers on somatic and relational approaches, tailored to address the complexities of body congruency and self-acceptance in the face of gender identity struggles.
Through somatic therapy techniques, we guide clients in exploring the ways in which their body-related distress manifests physically and emotionally. By fostering a deep connection between mind and body, our therapists help individuals process and integrate their experiences, promoting a sense of unity and empowerment within themselves.
Our relational approach emphasizes building a secure and empathetic therapeutic relationship that supports individuals through their journey of self-discovery and body acceptance. We create a safe space for clients to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences related to body image, gender identity, and self-expression without fear of judgment.
By integrating somatic and relational modalities, we aim to assist clients in cultivating a more harmonious relationship with their bodies and gender identity. Through this holistic and affirming approach, individuals can work towards embracing their authentic selves, fostering self-compassion, and nurturing a positive body image that aligns with their true identity. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can embark on a transformative journey towards self-acceptance, authenticity, and inner peace.
