Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Body image can influence how you feel about yourself, your relationships, your confidence, and your ability to fully engage in life. I help clients explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that shape their relationship with their bodies. Together, we work toward challenging unhelpful beliefs and thoughts, cultivating self-compassion, and building a more accepting and supportive relationship with your body. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin and engage in life with greater confidence and self-understanding.

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.

Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in helping children, adolescents, and young adults improve their body image and self-esteem. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to address the complex factors that influence body image, including societal pressures, personal experiences, and emotional well-being.
Body image issues can significantly impact mental health, leading to conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders, and depression. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thoughts about their bodies. She also integrates mindfulness practices to promote self-acceptance and reduce the impact of societal beauty standards.
Dr. Downs’s approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring personalized care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of body image concerns. She creates a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their feelings and develop a healthier relationship with their bodies.
In addition to in-person sessions, Dr. Downs offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Her goal is to empower clients to achieve a positive body image and enhance their overall well-being through compassionate and collaborative therapy.

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.
