Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Body image concerns are often rooted in early relational experience and internalized emotional patterns. My work integrates psychoanalytic thinking, clinical sexology, and somatic awareness to support a more compassionate and embodied relationship with the body. This process helps patients reconnect with their sense of self beyond shame and self-judgment.

Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
There is a strong mind-body connection and how someone thinks about their body is intertwined with self-concept, self-worth, and identity which are core issues when working on body image. Social comparison to others and the need for social recognition and approval, in particular, can lead to feelings of low self-worth, obsessive self-criticism, and unrealistic expectations and perceptions about the body. The wrong kinds of social media may perpetuate the vicious cycle. In counseling, I can work with you to build buffers against negative effects of social comparison and external messages. If you find yourself more and more dissatisfied with your body and yourself, and more anxious about your physical appearance, it may be time for counseling to evaluate the these concerns and ways to change them. I will work with you to foster a healthier body image and overall emotional and mental well-being. The social collective has cultivated unrealistic and unachievable expectations which are expressed ubiquitously, we are culturally immersed and it may take significant work to develop a healthy, realistic internal self-perception that can buffer these influences.

Body Image is especially a problem in young adolescents, but it sometimes persists through life. I explore how a person's body has served them well. Body image is also sometimes an issue for non-binary and trans. people and can show up as Body Dysphoria.

Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
We do not live in a society that allows us to accept our bodies as they are. We receive message from a young age from parents, friends and media about how we are supposed to look and what it means if we don't look that way. The truth is that you only have one body and there is only so much you can do to control how it looks. Many of us developed unhealthy relationships with food and exercise to change our appearance and are now ready to learn to acceptance our bodies as they are. If you are looking for support to acceptance your body and pursue physical and mental health without trying to lose weight, I offer weight neutral therapy.

Almost without realizing it we can find ourselves feeling stuck and trapped in a body that doesn't reflect who we feel we are. I work with you to develop an understanding of what keeps you from feeling connected to your body in a positive and affirming way. We will develop insight, coping skills and build self-esteem so that you will feel empowered to make choices rather than staying stuck.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Living under the pressures of diet culture and social media can severely fracture your relationship with your physical self. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) frameworks, I help individuals challenge deep-seated, unrealistic appearance standards and self-critical thought distortions. Together, we unpack the family, cultural, and societal origins of these beliefs, working to replace avoidance behaviors and body-checking habits with sustainable self-compassion, resilience, and body neutrality.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
If you’re constantly at war with your reflection or caught in a cycle of self-criticism, you’re not alone. We live in a world full of unrealistic standards and loud opinions about how we should look—and it can take a real toll on how we feel in our own skin.
I work with clients to untangle their relationship with their bodies using compassion-based therapy, mindfulness practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work. My approach isn’t about “fixing” your body—it’s about healing how you relate to it. We’ll explore where the harsh inner voice came from, learn to quiet it, and reconnect you with the values and experiences that matter far more than a number on a scale or the shape of a mirror image.
As a long-time psychologist (and a human in this culture too), I know that body image struggles are deeply personal—and deeply valid. I bring humor, warmth, and evidence-based tools to help you move toward body respect, self-compassion, and a healthier, more peaceful relationship with yourself.
You deserve to feel at home in your body—and I’d be honored to help you find your way back there.

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.
