Does this sound familiar?
You struggle with negative thoughts about your body, basing your worth on your appearance, obsessing about your weight and shape, and constantly comparing yourself to others. Your self-esteem is tied to the number on your scale. You may even find that your relationships and ability to enjoy life are suffering. You may avoid wearing certain kinds of clothes, being in photos, attending social events, swimming, pursuing hobbies, or trying new things. Deep down, you yearn for a more peaceful, connected and fulfilling life where your time and energy are focused on the things that truly matter to you.
With Health at Every Size (HAES), Intuitive Eating (IE), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and other evidence-based approaches, I will help you cultivate self-worth and body respect so you can be kind to yourself and redirect your energy to what fills you with purpose and joy. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with negative body image and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

Erica McArn
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The perception and view one holds of their body is an integral part of how they experience their life as it often impacts their interactions with others as well as interactions with self and their environment as it is a self-reflection of how one perceives their appearance. In addition, it contributes to self-esteem and internal thoughts of self. A negative sense of self or negative body image can significantly effect a person's ability to relate to others as well as the world around them and often leads to other mental health issues, such as depression, relationship issues, and social anxiety.
Shifting perceptions of self can be hard and often takes personal commitment, self-compassion, and the willingness to step outside of one's comfort zone. Utilizing a person-centered and holistic approach, I work with clients, meeting them where they are on their journey, to develop reasonable and achievable treatment goals.

Body image struggles are pandemic in our society. The constant messages we receive as both males and females undermine our relationship to our body. It is so easy to believe and act as if the appearance of our body is the most important thing. Even if we disagree with that statement, our minds can habitually go back to those critical and obsessive thoughts. If this resonates with you, let's work on it together.
