Diane Hough, counselor and coach
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Body image issues are so prevalent in our society, particularly so for women and men as well. Much of our advertisements depict the "perfect body and age" that is the one that people strive for or even believe is the norm. While there is a lot of conditioning that says we should need or want a certain image to fit in, it can be very freeing to know and experience your innate wholeness and beauty at any age or with any body you have. While this can take some time, much change can happen even in a short time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
