Cheryl S Rubenstein

Obesity is a challenge for so many people. During my time at the NIH and Georgetown I received specialized training in compassionately working with obesity in adults and children.

Virginia Health and Medical Psychology
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologst
Managing weight can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions, habits, and medical conditions are involved. I help clients explore the psychological factors that impact eating and lifestyle choices, develop practical, sustainable strategies for behavior change, and build a healthier relationship with their body. The goal is much more than weight loss, but improved confidence, well-being, and long-term success.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we hold shame about our bodies, we often become disconnected from ourselves and those around us. You might feel you have missed out on magical experiences with friends and lovers because you were distracted by comparison and cruel thoughts about your body. You might find it hard to stay present during sexual intimacy because you’re trying to imagine how your body is being perceived from different angles. Maybe you were taught by our culture or other influential figures that there was something wrong with you because of how your body looks or behaves. Repairing your relationship with your body is hard work that can powerfully shift your relationships, making you more available for pleasure and connection. We’re here for you on your journey to radical self-acceptance!
