Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals struggling with body image by exploring the thoughts, beliefs, and external influences that shape how they see themselves. Body image concerns often involve self-criticism, comparison, and feeling disconnected from your body. In therapy, we focus on building awareness of these patterns and developing a more balanced and compassionate relationship with your body. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based approaches to help clients challenge unhelpful thoughts, reduce avoidance, and shift focus toward living a meaningful life rather than being defined by appearance.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.

Brittany Statler, Intuitive Wellness Therapy Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Headline: Healing Your Relationship with Your Body in a Culture That Isn’t on Your Side
The Reality of Living in Diet Culture
We live in a world that makes it feel nearly impossible to exist without a constant, critical inner monologue about your body or your plate. No one comes out of our weight-obsessed culture unscathed, and for many, the "baggage" of these stories becomes a heavy, daily burden. If you feel like you are constantly at war with your reflection or your appetite, you are not alone—and it isn’t your fault.
A Sanctuary of Body Liberation
My practice is rooted in Body Liberation. I believe that every body—including yours—is inherently worthy of acceptance, compassion, and uncompromising care. I specialize in helping individuals who have never felt "safe" accepting themselves in a world that demands they change.
My Specialized Framework
In a private-pay setting, you deserve a therapist who understands the high-stakes complexity of recovery. My approach is defined by:
Health at Every Size (HAES®): I provide weight-neutral care that honors the rich diversity of human shapes and sizes. We focus on health behaviors and psychological well-being, not the number on the scale.
Nuanced Advocacy: We will engage in the sophisticated, often difficult conversations required to navigate a medical system and a culture preoccupied with size.
A Roadmap to Peace: We move beyond "body positivity" toward body neutrality and liberation—helping you reclaim the mental energy currently spent on body-checking and food-tracking so you can reinvest it in your actual life.
Why Choose This Approach?
You are investing in more than just "talk therapy." You are investing in a specialized partnership that challenges the status quo of your suffering. Together, we will untangle your worth from your weight and build a foundation of self-trust that diet culture can no longer shake.
