Lauren Palumbo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Do you find yourself stuck in a loop of self-criticism, never feeling quite “enough” in your own skin? Maybe your relationship with your body feels complicated–shaped by expectations, past experiences, or an inner voice that won’t quiet down. In therapy, we create space to challenge those narratives with compassion, not judgment, so you can move toward self-acceptance on your own terms. You deserve to feel at home in your body.

Kerin Schornstein LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I assist clients to examine their beliefs about appearance and what they view as "normal " or " desired" body types. Due to continued exposure to images and media people can develop a range of positive or negative emotions about their appearance which can cause anxiety, depression or eating disorders.
