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.

Monique Bellefleur
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, PMH-C
Negotiating our relationship with our bodies is a lifelong journey because our bodies are always changing: as we age, become pregnant, recover from injuries, etc. I support clients in finding ways to feel better and more accepting of their bodies without weight-stigma.

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.

Worcester is one of New England's most diverse cities and home to a cluster of colleges and universities — including Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and UMass Chan Medical School — that together generate significant student mental health demand and a well-developed clinical training ecosystem. The city's large Latino, Vietnamese, and African American populations create consistent demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists, and Worcester has been an important destination for refugee resettlement from Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America. UMass Memorial Medical Center provides major institutional mental health resources, while the city's university ecosystem supplies important clinical training. Worcester's working-class character and lower cost of living relative to Boston make private therapy more financially accessible, though therapist density remains lower than in the Boston metro.
