Earlyn Sharpe
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.Ed, MHCP, NLP, ND
Body image concerns can significantly impact mental health and overall well-being. As a counsellor and coach, I specialize in supporting individuals who struggle with body image issues, including body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and low self-esteem related to appearance.
Together, we explore underlying beliefs and emotions surrounding body image, challenge negative self-talk, and develop healthier perspectives towards oneself and one's body.
My approach emphasizes self-compassion, acceptance, and empowerment, helping clients cultivate a more positive relationship with their bodies and foster greater self-confidence and self-worth. Through compassionate and personalized therapy, I aim to assist individuals in embracing their unique selves and achieving greater peace and contentment with their bodies.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Lots of people don’t like their bodies. Maybe abuse or neglect created dissociation, an eating disorder or depression. Body distortions can happen for a variety of reasons, each needing a somewhat different approach. I’m also an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Especially in my work with transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) community, body image is often in context to what we are processing. Body image work can look a variety of ways, such as deconstructing and healing internalizations of fat phobia, transphobia, and European body ideals. I like to make it clear - I am a firm believer in the Healthy at Every Size movement and we can utilize this space to find a path towards connecting your mind and your authentic and congruent body.

Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Working on our body image can be a life long process. I have found that this is a common "go to" in our thoughts when we are feeling negative about almost anything in our life. Working to notice how a thought can affect our feelings and then practicing "catching" our thoughts as they happen and refocus them can completely turn around these sticky negative body image thoughts.
