Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
So many of my clients are smart, accomplished, capable people, who spend a lot of time agonizing about their body weight or shape. I help clients unlearn cultural and critical messages about their body (from diet culture, social media, or harmful athletic environments) to build body trust, body autonomy, and body respect. We work on taking a body neutral approach, so that you have a strong relationship with your body on both the good and bad days.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Body image concerns often extend beyond appearance and can be shaped by deeper experiences related to identity, self-worth, and external expectations. Many women find themselves in a cycle of self-criticism or comparison that impacts confidence and daily life. In our work together, we focus on understanding how these patterns developed and building a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with your body that supports overall well-being rather than constant evaluation.

Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in helping children, adolescents, and young adults improve their body image and self-esteem. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to address the complex factors that influence body image, including societal pressures, personal experiences, and emotional well-being.
Body image issues can significantly impact mental health, leading to conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders, and depression. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thoughts about their bodies. She also integrates mindfulness practices to promote self-acceptance and reduce the impact of societal beauty standards.
Dr. Downs’s approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring personalized care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of body image concerns. She creates a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their feelings and develop a healthier relationship with their bodies.
In addition to in-person sessions, Dr. Downs offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Her goal is to empower clients to achieve a positive body image and enhance their overall well-being through compassionate and collaborative therapy.
