Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I want to help you have a better relationship with your body. My approach to working with people who struggle with body image involves helping you befriend your body. Instead of pinching and poking and criticizing your body’s shortcomings, I want to help you find deep gratitude for what it can do, love it in spite of the number on the scale (actually, maybe just throw away your scale), and believe that your worthiness runs deeper than your physical appearance. When I work with clients to improve their body image, I don’t spend very much time talking about food. Instead, sessions often focus on a sense of control, how to feel hard feelings, perfectionism and “good-enoughness”, self-compassion, how to self-soothe in hard moments, and allowing yourself to be a messy, human person. I am committed to helping you to improve your health – with the important caveat that mental health IS health. If the diet industrial complex has failed you, and you'd like support in finding a different way to make peace with your body, reach out to me. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
We are all born into a world where our bodies are constantly under scrutiny. The race to look and feel good in our skin can be an exhausting one, both physically and emotionally. My particular experience is that of a gay man trying to fit into a culture that puts a huge pressure on body image, sexual currency and attractiveness. These issues can be extremely hard to navigate and can lead to anxiety, depression and low self-worth. Together we will work on building a more robust sense of self which will allow you to feel more comfortable in your skin.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
The relationship we have with our body and self-image can change over time. Comparison, feeling hyper focused on looking a certain way, and even messages you may have received growing up about your body can all go into affecting our view of self. I take a compassionate approach to understanding and helping you feel more confident (and compassionate!) with who you are on both an emotional and physical level.
