Body Image therapists in Salem, Illinois IL
Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
I help people with body image concerns create flexibility as they heal their relationship with their body and move away from thin ideal/diet culture so they can soften their perfectionism and live a more full and joyous life. I also enjoy addressing gender dysphoria in treatment and helping clients find ways to affirm their gender identity and start to see and appreciate their true selves.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in a culture that values certain body types more than others. This reality often brings feelings of shame for people of all body types that do not feel they can live up to these impossible beauty standards. Shame surrounding issues of body image lead to depression, anxiety, self harm and relational difficulties. It is my goal to help patients recognize these harmful thought processes and habits that damage self esteem and ones relationship to their own body. I believe that mitigating these beliefs and patters and lead to happier and healthier lives for those who wish to embark on the journey of body positivity.

Stacy Koch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As women and girls, we have a critical inner dialog in our heads pointing out what is wrong with our bodies. Having awareness of how we talk to ourselves and being willing to challenge our negative self-talk and perfectionism is the first step. I can work with you to create a safe space where we can work on those negative self-beliefs and create new more functional beliefs about your body. It starts with self-compassion.
