Body image issues may or may not be related to an eating disorder...or disordered eating. Emotional eating. As we work through shame, regrets, and a sense of low self-esteem, the body image will most likely improve.

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.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people struggle with body image because of the messages they have received from family, peers, culture, and social media about how they "should" look. In therapy, we'll explore how these experiences have shaped the way you view yourself and work toward developing a more compassionate and accepting relationship with your body. Together, we'll also examine your relationship with food and identify sustainable, balanced approaches that support both your physical and emotional well-being, helping to reduce the self-criticism and distress that often accompany body image concerns.

Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I work with clients who have difficult relationships with their body. We work on unlearning the overwhelming message that their body needs to be or look a certain way in order to be acceptable. We unpack the onslaught of harmful body messages they've likely experienced in their life. We work towards body neutrality and a better appreciation for the joy and pleasure their body can experience, instead of what it looks like.

Tycee Belcastro
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT, CSTIP
Living in the Western U.S., you’re probably all too familiar with the constant barrage of ads and messages telling you what “attractive” looks like—and how that somehow equals being worthy or lovable. If you’ve been through trauma, your body might feel like it’s holding onto that pain, making you feel disconnected from parts of yourself. I get how hard that can be. Healing your body image is deep, personal work—an inside job. It’s about sorting through your emotions, discovering your emotional issues and learning to deal with them, shaking off society’s unrealistic standards, and healing those wounds. My goal is to help you reconnect with your body, not as something merely to “perform” or prove your worth, but as a source of joy, energy, health, and even a sacred connection to your spirit.

Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I believe that we are all victims of our culture's harmful messages about body size, shape and appearance. Rather than being taught to appreciate all our bodies do for us and trust our bodies' signals, so many of us have been taught to control our bodies and deprive our bodies of nourishment, joy, and rest. I am passionate about supporting people in unlearning these harmful messages and building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies.

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
