Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
I am experienced working with young adults struggling with body image issues such as body dysmorphia, Bulimia, Anorexia Nervosa, and being overweight. Social media can be great in many ways, however, young people today are increasingly feeling that they always have to look “camera ready!” People are judged on their instagram photos and how many “likes” they get, and this can make body image take center stage and ;therefore, cause low self-esteem.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Are you living out someone else's story of your body?
Is your relationship with your body one of judgement, shame, disconnection or control?
Are you tired of being limited by and unhappy with how you look?
We carry around our families old stories or culture's stories of our bodies so we need learn to rewrite those stories and live out different endings. You deserve a loving strong relationship with your body that allows you for more self-acceptance and peace in your life. Through a variety of tools that may include somatic work, art therapy, yoga or other modalities begin the path of returning to your body.

Courtney Nahow
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, LPC
Society has taught us to dislike our body and obsess over our bodies not being perfect enough. I aim to help clients improve their body image by working towards body neutrality and learning ways to appreciate their body for what it can do for them versus how it looks. Let's dismantle perfectionism and stop placing blame on our bodies. I believe in helping folks make peace with their body image and work to undo societal programming related to self image.

Rachel W. Bush, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist, Trauma Informed Yoga Instructor with 500 Hour Training, International bestselling author on Self-love and Creativity
Body image issues can present before, during and after an eating disorder has been treated. It is not uncommon for perfectionism leading to low self-esteem. These issues frequently present when the person has a history of Complex Trauma or gender identity issues. I have these patients followed by nutritionists who weigh them regularly to make their body weight maintained appropriately as well as making sure that healthy nutrition and appropriate exercise regimes are in place.
