Our relationship with our body is deeply shaped by culture, family, trauma, and identity. Together we explore shame, comparison, and disconnection, helping you build a more compassionate, embodied relationship with yourself rooted in respect and agency. I am body positive and deeply respectful of the body as a source of wisdom. I bring curiosity and support of helping you to also hear the wisdom and medicine of your body.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I create a safe space for people to talk about and explore body image issues. Together, we will look at dominant cultural narratives, societal messaging, and internalized narratives around how your body is supposed to be. We will also dive deep into trauma and its impact on how you see and feel in you body.

Cynthia Cerrato
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, Certified in Holistic Integrative Health
I understand the complex relationship many individuals have with body image, influenced by cultural standards, societal pressures, and personal experiences. My journey has shaped my commitment to helping others navigate their body image struggles in a supportive and culturally sensitive environment. At Corazon Y Aire, I specialize in addressing body image issues by integrating cultural insights that resonate with the BIPOC community. I recognize the impact of cultural beauty ideals, familial expectations, and media portrayals on how we perceive ourselves. Through compassionate dialogue and empowering therapeutic practices, I work to challenge negative self-perceptions, fostering a healthier relationship with one’s body.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
Assistance with coping skills, transitions, self-harm, your value runs deeper than your body. Shame wasn't there when you were born. I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Josie Munroe, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist
Your soul's home. Your earth suit. Negative body image creates turmoil and pain that goes far beyond the mirror. But befriending your body again is truly possible, and in many ways, incredibly necessary.

Jennie Steinberg - feminist, queer-affirming therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, PMH-C
I want to help you have a better relationship with your body. My approach to working with people who struggle with body image involves helping you befriend your body. Instead of pinching and poking and criticizing your body’s perceived shortcomings, I want to help you find deep gratitude for what it can do, love it in spite of the number on the scale (actually, maybe just throw away your scale), and believe that your worthiness runs deeper than your physical appearance. When I work with clients to improve their body image, I don’t spend very much time talking about food. Instead, sessions often focus on a sense of control, how to feel hard feelings, perfectionism and “good-enoughness”, self-compassion, how to self-soothe in hard moments, and allowing yourself to be a messy, human person. I am committed to helping you to improve your health – with the important caveat that mental health IS health. If the diet industrial complex has failed you, and you'd like support in finding a different way to make peace with your body, reach out to me. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.
