Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Body image affects far more than how you feel when you look in a mirror. It can shape confidence, sexuality, intimacy, relationships, self-worth, and how comfortable you feel taking up space in the world. I help clients explore the messages and experiences that have shaped their relationship with their bodies, challenge shame and unrealistic expectations, and develop a more compassionate and authentic sense of embodiment. The goal isn’t to convince yourself that you must love every part of your body—it’s to help your body become a place you can live in with greater acceptance, confidence, and freedom.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
Here's a concise therapist-directory version:
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies. Many individuals struggle with body dissatisfaction, negative self-talk, appearance-related anxiety, emotional eating, perfectionism, or the impact of societal and cultural pressures. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, improve self-esteem, cultivate body acceptance, and focus on overall well-being rather than appearance. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, empowered, and at peace in their own skin.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which then leads to meaningful and lasting changes. That means we will use real experiences from your life - about body image, or anything else - to help you make sense of and overcome the difficulties related to it.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with clients to help them learn self-compassion and to see themselves as they really are. With many forces attacking our sense of self and our body image, therapy can be a helpful tool to love ourselves, correct our misperceptions, and appreciate the body we have.

Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
So many of my clients are smart, accomplished, capable people, who spend a lot of time agonizing about their body weight or shape. I help clients unlearn cultural and critical messages about their body (from diet culture, social media, or harmful athletic environments) to build body trust, body autonomy, and body respect. We work on taking a body neutral approach, so that you have a strong relationship with your body on both the good and bad days.
