Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Body-image can impact how one sees themselves and interacts with the world. A low self-image can affect relationships, school or work performance or daily tasks. I offer compassionate, nonjudgmental counseling to assist clients in overcoming body-image concerns and make decisions that are guided by their values.

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.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
Folks can struggle with their body image and manage this difficulty in a variety of ways. I hope to give you a space where we can look at the relationship you have with your body, and how it's been impacted by societal values, relationships, trauma, etc, so you can find a different way of navigating your relationship and image of your body.

Sarah Jeziorski
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, ATR, EMDR-Certified
When your relationship with your body feels painful or conflicted, healing starts with compassion and curiosity. Using EMDR, creative expression, and body-based practices, I help clients release old messages of shame and rebuild a more trusting, peaceful connection with themselves.
