Psychologist, PhD Psychologist
Building a positive body image is important for a strong sense of self and confidence. It allows us to focus on the parts of our lives that we would like to be present for without getting distracted by unhealth comparisons. Interventions focus on how a person feels, thinks, and behaves as a result of their body image.

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.

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.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Navigating the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, many teens grapple with body image concerns that can profoundly impact their self-esteem and overall well-being. Drawing upon my expertise in adolescent psychology, I have dedicated myself to providing compassionate and evidence-based treatment for teens struggling with body image issues. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychoeducation, and experiential interventions, I work collaboratively with teens to challenge negative beliefs and cultivate a more balanced and compassionate relationship with their bodies.
