Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in body image, I provide compassionate and effective treatment for clients dealing with anxiety related to perceived physical flaws that affect their daily lives. I have extensive experience with body dysmorphic disorder and completed my dissertation on men's body esteem. My approach, grounded in evidence-based therapies, is tailored to address the unique needs of each individual.

Headline: Healing Your Relationship with Your Body in a Culture That Isn’t on Your Side
The Reality of Living in Diet Culture
We live in a world that makes it feel nearly impossible to exist without a constant, critical inner monologue about your body or your plate. No one comes out of our weight-obsessed culture unscathed, and for many, the "baggage" of these stories becomes a heavy, daily burden. If you feel like you are constantly at war with your reflection or your appetite, you are not alone—and it isn’t your fault.
A Sanctuary of Body Liberation
My practice is rooted in Body Liberation. I believe that every body—including yours—is inherently worthy of acceptance, compassion, and uncompromising care. I specialize in helping individuals who have never felt "safe" accepting themselves in a world that demands they change.
My Specialized Framework
In a private-pay setting, you deserve a therapist who understands the high-stakes complexity of recovery. My approach is defined by:
Health at Every Size (HAES®): I provide weight-neutral care that honors the rich diversity of human shapes and sizes. We focus on health behaviors and psychological well-being, not the number on the scale.
Nuanced Advocacy: We will engage in the sophisticated, often difficult conversations required to navigate a medical system and a culture preoccupied with size.
A Roadmap to Peace: We move beyond "body positivity" toward body neutrality and liberation—helping you reclaim the mental energy currently spent on body-checking and food-tracking so you can reinvest it in your actual life.
Why Choose This Approach?
You are investing in more than just "talk therapy." You are investing in a specialized partnership that challenges the status quo of your suffering. Together, we will untangle your worth from your weight and build a foundation of self-trust that diet culture can no longer shake.

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.
