NewBirth Counseling & Wellness Group LLC
Professional Christian Counselor, Certified Christian Counselor, Certified Life Coach & Consultant with a PhD in Psychology
The embodied self is a psychospiritual concept that hosts existential questions of “Who am I? What am I? Where does my value lay?” Our relationship with our bodies can be fraught with neglect and dissociation as we learn to ignore the many messages it sends to us. The embodied self can be experienced in a positive or negative manner, and it is strongly related to self-esteem, self-image, and one’s satisfaction with personal and sexual intimacy. A positive sense of an embodied self is associated with autonomy, functionality, joy and fulfillment. However, chronic illness, disability and accidents, and negative social sanctions can result in a sense of disembodiment. Call our office for more detailed information.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Body image concerns are often rooted in early relational experience and internalized emotional patterns. My work integrates psychoanalytic thinking, clinical sexology, and somatic awareness to support a more compassionate and embodied relationship with the body. This process helps patients reconnect with their sense of self beyond shame and self-judgment.

Body image concerns are often shaped by personal experiences, societal standards, cultural expectations, and messages received from family and community. Whether you struggle with self-criticism, comparison, or feeling disconnected from your body, therapy can help you explore these influences and cultivate self-acceptance.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.

Des Moines is Iowa's state capital and the center of America's insurance industry — home to Principal Financial Group, Wellmark, and dozens of other major insurers — creating a therapy demand shaped by the particular stresses of financial services careers alongside the concerns of a growing and increasingly diverse urban population. The city has experienced dramatic demographic change through refugee resettlement and immigration, with growing communities from Myanmar, Congo, and Latin America making it one of the most rapidly diversifying mid-size cities in the Midwest. UnityPoint Health — Iowa Methodist Medical Center and MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community concentrated in the West Des Moines and Urbandale corridors. Iowa's relative shortage of mental health providers makes Des Moines an important access point for the broader state, and many therapists here serve clients from smaller surrounding communities.
