Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with body image, I take a compassionate, body-centered approach that invites curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we explore how cultural messages, early experiences, and internalized narratives have shaped the way you relate to your body. Using somatic awareness and parts work, we begin to untangle the protective strategies that may be at play and build a more respectful, connected, and empowered relationship with your body over time.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
If you feel trapped in your mirror, hating what you see no matter what you do, you are not alone. While body image problems are very common in our society, you can learn to see yourself in a positive light. If you are willing to change the way you think, you can free yourself from the bondage of your mirror and learn to treat yourself with respect and dignity.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
We are born happy in our own skin. As kids, we are curious about our bodies and enjoy exploring them. Then something goes wrong. A well-meaning parent suggests we skip dessert, and the dolls we play with are so anatomically inaccurate they would fall over if they were humans. Then we start to attend school and become more aware of the larger culture. We notice only certain types of bodies are portrayed in the media. Our peers and our social media tell us we should look a particular way. This story may sound familiar, and sadly, it’s a common one. Unfortunately, for so many of us, the dissatisfaction with our bodies starts when we are young and persists for many years, particularly if we don’t start to examine how we think. Together, through radical self-acceptance, fat positivity, and the anti-diet framework we can begin to work toward healing.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Body image concerns rarely develop in isolation. They are often shaped by family messages, culture, trauma, racism, sexism, ableism, neurodivergence, chronic illness, disability, gender expectations, religious experiences, social media, and the countless ways we are taught which bodies are considered worthy, acceptable, attractive, productive, healthy, or "normal." For many people, body image is deeply connected to belonging, safety, identity, visibility, self-worth, and the ways our bodies have been perceived, treated, regulated, or judged throughout our lives.
This work is grounded in an understanding that our relationships with our bodies are shaped not only by personal experiences, but also by larger cultural, historical, and systemic forces. Exploration may include the impacts of racism, colonialism, anti-fat bias, ableism, sexism, cisheteronormativity, beauty standards, diet culture, healthism, medical trauma, and other systems that communicate which bodies are valued and which are marginalized. Particular attention is given to the ways intersecting identities such as race, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, spirituality, and socioeconomic experiences influence embodiment and body image.
My approach moves beyond surface-level body image concerns and into a deeper exploration of embodiment, nervous system experiences, identity, self-worth, intimacy, sexuality, sensory experiences, and belonging. Attention is given to the ways internalized messages, shame, comparison, perfectionism, masking, trauma, and cultural expectations may shape your relationship with your body. Exploration may also include the impacts of chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence, hormonal changes, body changes across the lifespan, and experiences of living in a body that may not align with societal expectations or dominant cultural norms.
My work is informed by Health at Every Size (HAES), body liberation, neurodiversity-affirming, disability-affirming, and liberation-oriented frameworks. Rather than focusing on weight, appearance, or changing your body to fit external standards, therapy supports developing a more compassionate, curious, and trusting relationship with yourself. Particular attention is given to reconnecting with bodily wisdom, interoception, sensory experiences, pleasure, rest, nourishment, movement, and the body's capacity to communicate needs, limits, emotions, and desires.
My intention is to support you in gently untangling inherited and internalized narratives while cultivating greater self-trust, self-compassion, embodied authenticity, safety, respect, choice, and freedom within your relationship with yourself and your body. Often, this work involves reclaiming embodiment on your own terms and creating space for your body to be experienced as a home rather than a problem to solve or vessel to abandon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you have spent years at war with your reflection or dodging photos, you are not alone. We will work together to understand where those critical messages came from and slowly replace them with something kinder. Our goal is not to love every part of your appearance, but to feel at peace in your own skin so you can focus on living instead of constantly monitoring yourself.
