We'll examine self-views and beliefs that have contributed to issues with embodiment and focus on developing a more neutral stance, emphasizing what the physical body does to support us throughout our day-to-day functioning.

Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
We do not live in a society that allows us to accept our bodies as they are. We receive message from a young age from parents, friends and media about how we are supposed to look and what it means if we don't look that way. The truth is that you only have one body and there is only so much you can do to control how it looks. Many of us developed unhealthy relationships with food and exercise to change our appearance and are now ready to learn to acceptance our bodies as they are. If you are looking for support to acceptance your body and pursue physical and mental health without trying to lose weight, I offer weight neutral therapy.

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.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Body Image is especially a problem in young adolescents, but it sometimes persists through life. I explore how a person's body has served them well. Body image is also sometimes an issue for non-binary and trans. people and can show up as Body Dysphoria.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Especially in my work with transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) community, body image is often in context to what we are processing. Body image work can look a variety of ways, such as deconstructing and healing internalizations of fat phobia, transphobia, and European body ideals. I like to make it clear - I am a firm believer in the Healthy at Every Size movement and we can utilize this space to find a path towards connecting your mind and your authentic and congruent body.
