GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I support clients struggling with body image through a trauma-informed, compassionate approach rooted in Compassionate Inquiry®. Body image concerns often reflect deeper emotional and relational experiences, including early conditioning, trauma, or shame. In therapy, we gently explore these patterns while building greater body awareness, self-compassion, and a more respectful, connected relationship with the body.

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.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
As someone who works around sexuality one of the most common issues I confront is body image issues and Body Dismorphia. I work with many Trans people in various stages of gender transformation who have issues with truly stepping into their new gender identity, feeling comfortable in their bodies. Using both hypnosis as well as hands on work, I help them more fully embrace their new identities, love their bodies more.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for body image issues, low self-esteem, negative self-image, shame, and emotional struggles related to appearance, identity, and self-worth. Many individuals experiencing body image concerns struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, perfectionism, comparison, social pressure, or feelings of not being “good enough.” These challenges can affect confidence, relationships, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Body image difficulties are often connected to deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, bullying, criticism, rejection, relationship wounds, or painful life experiences that continue to shape how a person sees themselves. Social media, cultural expectations, and unrealistic standards portrayed in mainstream media can also intensify feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, and emotional distress.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to counseling, helping clients explore and heal the underlying emotional experiences contributing to negative self-image and unhealthy patterns of self-perception. Therapy focuses on helping clients move beyond shame, self-judgment, and unrealistic expectations while developing greater self-acceptance, emotional balance, confidence, and authenticity.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, mindfulness-based strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting healing. Together, you will explore past experiences, emotional triggers, relationship dynamics, and core beliefs that may be impacting your self-worth and sense of identity today.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and personalized to each client’s unique experiences and goals. Brad provides a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly process emotional pain, strengthen self-awareness, improve self-esteem, and reconnect with who they truly are beyond external pressures and unrealistic standards.
The goal of therapy is not only to reduce emotional distress, but to help clients develop a healthier relationship with themselves, create lasting emotional resilience, and live with greater confidence, peace, and authenticity. Healing is possible, and you can learn to appreciate yourself for who you truly are while building a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, offering confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of home.

New Orleans carries deep collective trauma from Hurricane Katrina and subsequent flooding events, and therapists specializing in disaster recovery, PTSD, and community resilience remain in strong demand. The city's culture of celebration and togetherness can mask significant individual struggles with addiction, grief, and depression, and therapists here often work at the intersection of joy, loss, and survival. New Orleans' distinct cultural identity — rooted in African American, Creole, and Caribbean traditions — means culturally grounded and community-engaged therapy is particularly valued. Tulane Medical Center and University Medical Center New Orleans provide institutional mental health resources alongside a network of independent practitioners serving Uptown, Mid-City, and the Marigny.
