Body image issues are difficult to avoid even starting from childhood and beyond.

Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in body image.
Body image concerns can occupy an enormous amount of daily life: checking mirrors or avoiding them, comparing yourself with people you pass on the street, changing plans because of how you look, or moving through the day accompanied by a running commentary on your own body. The relief that arrives when the body finally cooperates tends not to last, which suggests the trouble was never only about the body.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we take up what the body has come to carry. Preoccupation with appearance often has an unconscious logic worth understanding, expressing shame, control, or a wish to be acceptable that reaches back into how you were seen and spoken about growing up. In sessions we follow those threads rather than trying to reason you out of what you see.
If your relationship with your body has been consuming more than its share of your attention, I would be glad to talk.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I support clients struggling with body image through a trauma-informed, compassionate approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Body image concerns often reflect deeper emotional and relational experiences, including early conditioning, trauma, or shame. In therapy, we gently explore these patterns while building greater body awareness, self-compassion, and a more respectful, connected relationship with the body.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Often times, the way we attribute our self worth is through our body image overlooking our whole selves leading to negative perceptions and low self-esteem. By integrating hypnotherapy, you can overcome your body image challenges and embrace a more balanced and fulfilling life. The transformation achieved through this therapeutic process not only enhances your self-esteem but also contributes to your overall emotional and mental well-being.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients with body image concerns by addressing the self-criticism, comparison, perfectionism, and unrealistic standards that often shape how they see themselves. In therapy, we work on challenging distorted thoughts, reducing shame, and building a more compassionate and realistic relationship with the body. My goal is to help clients focus less on constant self-evaluation and more on overall well-being, confidence, and self-acceptance.
