Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Struggling with body image can feel like being at war with your own skin, constantly trapped in cycles of harsh self-criticism, comparison, and chronic dissatisfaction. I help individuals transform their relationship with their bodies by looking beneath the surface of food and appearance to heal the root causes of this distress. Our work together integrates powerful brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting to process stored trauma, societal conditioning, or painful memories that impact how you view yourself. At the same time, we use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to compassionately understand the parts of you utilizing body criticism as a protective shield, while CBT and DBT offer practical tools to quiet negative self-talk and manage daily distress. Together, we will work toward rewriting your story—moving away from body shame and toward a place of genuine body neutrality, self-compassion, and internal peace.

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.

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.

Reshma Rampersad
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When you are fighting your body for existing, relief cannot come fast enough. My mindful approach allows space to once again build a relationship with your body that is more validating than critical. Using a combination of ACT techniques I help you learn to accept and love your body just the way it is. You are enough as you are.
