Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror? Do you immediately notice flaws – a nose you wish was smaller, a stomach you wish was flatter, legs you wish were longer or capable of running faster? The thoughts and feelings that you have about your physical appearance are the focus of body image research. Getting comfortable in your own skin can be hard work, but it is truly worth it to put in the work necessary to loving yourself inside and out. Let me guide you through this journey because your worth is not in your weight.

Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
I help people with body image concerns create flexibility as they heal their relationship with their body and move away from thin ideal/diet culture so they can soften their perfectionism and live a more full and joyous life. I also enjoy addressing gender dysphoria in treatment and helping clients find ways to affirm their gender identity and start to see and appreciate their true selves.

Courtney Nahow
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC
Society has taught us to dislike our body and obsess over our bodies not being perfect enough. I aim to help clients improve their body image by working towards body neutrality and learning ways to appreciate their body for what it can do for them versus how it looks. Let's dismantle perfectionism and stop placing blame on our bodies. I believe in helping folks make peace with their body image and work to undo societal programming related to self image.
