Body Image
Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with clients to help them learn self-compassion and to see themselves as they really are. With many forces attacking our sense of self and our body image, therapy can be a helpful tool to love ourselves, correct our misperceptions, and appreciate the body we have.

Body Image
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggles with body image are often tied to shame, trauma, and the pressures of diet culture. In addition to IFS and mindfulness, I draw on specialized training in Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, and Body Trust approaches. These frameworks recognize how dieting and cultural messages can fuel disordered eating patterns such as restriction, bingeing, or cycles of shame. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion, reconnecting with body wisdom, and creating a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and self. I provide diagnostic clarity when body image concerns overlap with eating disorders, depression, or trauma.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Body image concerns are some of the most common conversations people have in building a satisfying sexual life. Body image concerns can also deeply affect self-esteem, confidence, emotional well-being, and other relationship dynamics. Couples therapy provides a supportive space to explore the experiences, messages, and pressures that may contribute to negative self-image or self-criticism. Together, couples compassionately discuss the relationship each partner has with their body while addressing the anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or comparison that often accompany body image struggles. Through increased self-awareness and the experience of being known and accepted by their partner, people can begin to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. When they are more intimately connected to themselves, they are also able to more deeply connect to their partner.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients with body image concerns by addressing the self-criticism, comparison, perfectionism, and unrealistic standards that often shape how they see themselves. In therapy, we work on challenging distorted thoughts, reducing shame, and building a more compassionate and realistic relationship with the body. My goal is to help clients focus less on constant self-evaluation and more on overall well-being, confidence, and self-acceptance.
