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.

Subconscious Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
Body image concerns often develop from long-standing beliefs and comparisons that affect self-esteem and confidence. Hypnotherapy helps shift these subconscious narratives, supporting a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your body. Sessions focus on building self-acceptance, confidence, and a sense of comfort in your own skin.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.

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.

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.
