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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
