Samantha Schaefer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
When the way you see your body is shaped by criticism, comparison, or shame, it can affect every part of your life. I offer a compassionate space to explore your relationship with your body, rebuild trust in yourself, and move toward body neutrality and self-respect.

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Our therapists at Whole Wellness Therapy are passionate about the connection between our body and mind. Our therapy team is comprised of clinicians who have each had their own internal dissonance between body and mind, therefore, we understand how much our mind impacts how we see our body, treat our body, and respond to our body. For our clients struggling with their body image, we start with jumping into their perspective to get a clear picture of what distortions might be present in their own perceptions, and work from the mind into the physical body to create more unity between body and mind, by building self-compassion that manifests into self-love, acceptance, and confidence.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
We are born happy in our own skin. As kids, we are curious about our bodies and enjoy exploring them. Then something goes wrong. A well-meaning parent suggests we skip dessert, and the dolls we play with are so anatomically inaccurate they would fall over if they were humans. Then we start to attend school and become more aware of the larger culture. We notice only certain types of bodies are portrayed in the media. Our peers and our social media tell us we should look a particular way. This story may sound familiar, and sadly, it’s a common one. Unfortunately, for so many of us, the dissatisfaction with our bodies starts when we are young and persists for many years, particularly if we don’t start to examine how we think. Together, through radical self-acceptance, fat positivity, and the anti-diet framework we can begin to work toward healing.
