Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Our therapists at Whole Wellness Therapy are passionate about the connection between our body and mind. Our therapy team is comprised of clinicians who have each had their own internal dissonance between body and mind, therefore, we understand how much our mind impacts how we see our body, treat our body, and respond to our body. For our clients struggling with their body image, we start with jumping into their perspective to get a clear picture of what distortions might be present in their own perceptions, and work from the mind into the physical body to create more unity between body and mind, by building self-compassion that manifests into self-love, acceptance, and confidence.

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

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.

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.

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.
