Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Body image issues and body image struggles are a complex and also very common phenomenon. They occur across all gender lines though women tend to talk most openly about these struggles, which have sometimes existed since childhood. My approach is to begin with curiosity ( and helping you to build your curiosity) which can then facilitate an exploration of the meanings that body preoccupation can hold. Opening up awareness about these issues often is really fruitful and can be helpful in the long term in providing some emotional and psychological freedom.

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.

We will explore root cause of your body dysmorphia and disordered eating issue to process and heal the memory/event/emotions/beliefs in a safe and loving way, usually with a childhood regression.
