Obesity
Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I help clients explore the emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns that contribute to weight challenges. Together, we address underlying habits, self-perception, and the parts of yourself that may be driving these patterns. The focus is on building self-awareness, healthier choices, and a compassionate relationship with your body and self.

Obesity
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

Rick Rodgers
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW, CADC, CCTP, RYT 500

My approach supports nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and building practical habits that improve daily functioning, recovery, and overall wellbeing in a realistic and maintainable way.
10 Years Experience
Online in Phoenix, AZ Arizona
Phoenix's extreme summer heat and sprawling, car-dependent geography contribute to social isolation and depression, with many residents spending months in largely indoor environments with limited organic social contact. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the disconnection and loneliness that can accompany life in a place where many people lack long-established roots and community ties. Phoenix has a significant veteran population, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and veteran family concerns are well represented. Banner Health and Dignity Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with a large private practice community serving Scottsdale, Tempe, and the East Valley.
