Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals struggling with body image by exploring the thoughts, beliefs, and external influences that shape how they see themselves. Body image concerns often involve self-criticism, comparison, and feeling disconnected from your body. In therapy, we focus on building awareness of these patterns and developing a more balanced and compassionate relationship with your body. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based approaches to help clients challenge unhelpful thoughts, reduce avoidance, and shift focus toward living a meaningful life rather than being defined by appearance.

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.

Allyson Stephens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Body image can be an ongoing struggle for most. I think it is important to heal the inner child and help develop positive images of the self. I use IFS, EMDR, and Somatic Therapy for this issue.

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.
