Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults with anxiety and depression. Within the symptoms of these disorders are often unhealthy relationships with your self and body. Learning to love yourself again is rooted in efforts of both changing your cognition, changing your behaviors, and learning to appreciate yourself again. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your negative thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!

Emem Itiat
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
I work from a liberation psychology standpoint, and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment. Focusing on the present, let us work together to make changes that will hold space for personal growth and cultivate contentment, radical self-love, congruence, joy, stability, forward movement, and fulfilment.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Body image counseling is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on assisting individuals in developing a healthier and more positive relationship with their bodies. Body image is how individuals perceive and feel about their physical appearance, such as size, shape, and overall attractiveness. A negative body image can result in emotional distress, low self-esteem, and the onset of eating disorders or other mental health issues.
Body image therapy aims not to achieve a particular ideal body shape or size but to promote self-acceptance and a positive body image regardless of physical appearance. The therapeutic process is individualized, and the therapist collaborates with the client to address his or her particular requirements and objectives.
If negative body image is significantly affecting your well-being or contributing to mental health issues, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified mental health professional with experience in body image therapy to begin the process of developing a healthier and more positive body image.

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.

Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you someone who struggles to feel present in their body? Do you feel attuned to your body's cues? Are you tired of always being on a diet? Are you hoping to have a better relationship with food and movement, but unsure how to get there?
Body image struggles can feel so isolating, but you do not have to face them alone. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” your relationship with your body- it's about building insight and practical tools around your body image struggles. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, chronic illness, and more- and how ALL of these affect how you feel about your body.

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.
