Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in helping clients navigate body image challenges by providing psychoeducation and using a variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other effective modalities. Through psychoeducation, I help clients understand the underlying factors that contribute to negative body image. EMDR is used to process past experiences or trauma that may impact how clients view themselves, while ACT encourages self-compassion and helps clients align their actions with their values, rather than being driven by societal standards. My goal is to support clients in developing a healthier, more positive relationship with their bodies, fostering confidence and self-acceptance.

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
Learning to love your body is a challenge in the society and culture that we live in. We live in culture that makes money off of us hating our bodies. Together we will work to challenge these societal norms by challenging your inner critical voice and making behavioral changes that will help you to start hating on your body less. We will use Cash's Body Image workbook as a guide on this journey to healing your relationship with your body.

Marianne Albina
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT # 139542
I assist clients in co-exploring the stories they've been told about their bodies and appearances, identifying the external influences that shape their experiences. Together, we work to minimize the impact of dominant narratives by enriching stories of clients’ beauty and worthiness.

Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
Body image is a deeply personal topic that many people struggle with. Problems with body image usually surface at a relatively young age and can stem from many sources. Together, we'll explore what it feels like to be in your body, and take steps to figure out why it is you feel the way you do while incorporating self-compassion practices. With deeper understanding comes an increased sense of control and agency.

Dr. Bernadette Hinojos
Psychologist, Psy.D
I support clients in exploring and healing their relationships with their bodies through a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and identity-affirming lens. Body image concerns are deeply personal, and often shaped by intersecting systems of oppression—including racism, fatphobia, transphobia, ableism, and diet culture.
Whether you're navigating disordered eating patterns, body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, or a general sense of disconnection from your body, our work together will center your lived experience. I help clients move away from shame-based narratives and toward greater self-compassion, embodiment, and agency.
My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in liberation-focused practices, helping you rebuild a relationship with your body that feels safer, more accepting, and more aligned with your values—not society’s expectations.

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.

Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
I’m a body-positive and HAES-aligned therapist who has recovered from my own disordered eating and body image issues. I’m trained in Intuitive Eating, which is a way of eating that honors your body’s cues and needs. Body image can affect your self-esteem, happiness, health, and well-being. It can cause you to feel dissatisfied, ashamed, or obsessed with your appearance. I can help you improve your body image and feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin.

Misty Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW
We all hear a duality of messages: Criticize your body: Accept you body. We all walk this line yet it's normal to intellectually know something is not right but to embody acceptance of oneself is also possible with support.
