Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I create a safe space for people to talk about and explore body image issues. Together, we will look at dominant cultural narratives, societal messaging, and internalized narratives around how your body is supposed to be. We will also dive deep into trauma and its impact on how you see and feel in you body.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who struggle with body image and the ways it can shape self-worth, relationships, and how people move through the world. Difficulties with body image are often bound up with long-standing beliefs, protective strategies, and patterns of self-criticism that develop over time.
My approach draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what purpose they may serve. Rather than focusing on appearance or symptom reduction, the work centres on understanding the relationship you have with your body and the meanings attached to it. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
I am experienced working with young adults struggling with body image issues such as body dysmorphia, Bulimia, Anorexia Nervosa, and being overweight. Social media can be great in many ways, however, young people today are increasingly feeling that they always have to look “camera ready!” People are judged on their instagram photos and how many “likes” they get, and this can make body image take center stage and ;therefore, cause low self-esteem.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I offer support around body image from a compassionate, person-centered perspective that recognizes how our relationships with our bodies are shaped by culture, unique identities, lived experience, and survival. Rather than focusing on fixing or controlling the body, our work centers on building curiosity and a more respectful relationship with your physical self. Together, we might explore how body image connects to identity, worth, and belonging, and work toward greater sense of ease and trust in your body as it is.

Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
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.

Stephanie Morfitt, LCSW More Fit Mental Health
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You Don’t Feel at Home in Your Body
You might spend hours thinking about food, weight, or how your body looks — yet still feel disconnected or never “enough.” Maybe you compare yourself to others, replay comments you’ve heard about your appearance, or struggle to enjoy things you love because you’re too aware of how you look doing them.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many people — especially women — carry an invisible burden of shame, guilt, and self-criticism around their bodies. What starts as “wanting to be healthier” can turn into a constant inner battle. In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you quiet those harsh inner voices and reconnect with your body in a kinder, more trusting way. You’ll learn tools to:
Challenge the perfectionistic thoughts that feed self-criticism
Understand what drives body-focused fears and anxiety
Build new habits of self-acceptance and calm
Experience genuine comfort and confidence in your skin
Our sessions blend science, mindfulness, and compassion. You’ll have weekly check-ins to track progress and brief daily exercises to practice new patterns — because real change happens between sessions.
I BELIEVE:
Your body is not a problem to fix — it’s your home, your history, and your ally.
Confidence grows when we practice kindness toward ourselves, not punishment.
Comparison steals joy, but connection restores it.
You deserve to live fully — wear the clothes you love, eat without guilt, and show up in your life as you are.
Healing becomes easier when we add a little humor and humanity along the way.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in helping clients navigate body image challenges by providing psychoeducation and using a variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other effective modalities. Through psychoeducation, I help clients understand the underlying factors that contribute to negative body image. EMDR is used to process past experiences or trauma that may impact how clients view themselves, while ACT encourages self-compassion and helps clients align their actions with their values, rather than being driven by societal standards. My goal is to support clients in developing a healthier, more positive relationship with their bodies, fostering confidence and self-acceptance.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Unfortunately in our culture people tend to feel their value is based on looks, particularly body image. Because so much focus is placed on our bodies, the way we feel about ourselves is almost always an issue even if it isn't what has brought someone to therapy originally. It is very rewarding working with someone to improve the way they feel about themselves and as a result, increased self-confidence follows.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Body image struggles are rarely just about appearance—they are often rooted in messages from culture, family, and trauma. I create a safe space to untangle shame, comparison, and disconnection from your body. Through somatic awareness and culturally centered conversations, we work toward body respect, intuitive eating, and freedom from the weight of external expectations.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As women, we are bombarded with messages from culture to media to significant people in our lives who make unnecessary comments about what we should look like or how much we should weigh. I come from a health at every size and self-acceptance approach to support a more compassionate and neutral stance towards your body image. Your body has done so much to support you up to this point and you deserve to accept yourself exactly as you are, while making mindful changes.
