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.

Body image can be such a tough concept to navigate in a world consumed with diet culture and specific standards of beauty. Together, we will challenge those standards and learn strategies to build yourself up rather than tear yourself down.

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.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in a culture that values certain body types more than others. This reality often brings feelings of shame for people of all body types that do not feel they can live up to these impossible beauty standards. Shame surrounding issues of body image lead to depression, anxiety, self harm and relational difficulties. It is my goal to help patients recognize these harmful thought processes and habits that damage self esteem and ones relationship to their own body. I believe that mitigating these beliefs and patters and lead to happier and healthier lives for those who wish to embark on the journey of body positivity.
