Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
How you feel about your body is rarely actually about your body. It's about control, worth, safety, and the stories you've absorbed from your family, your culture, and every relationship that ever made you feel like you were too much or not enough. At Simple Empathy we work beneath the surface of body image struggles to address the deeper narrative — who told you that you weren't enough, and why did you believe them? Direct, honest and depth-oriented work for people ready to stop fighting their own reflection.

Debra Younger
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
Through an Internal Family Systems lens, how we view our Body Image, is usually a result of early childhood trauma or attachment wounds.
Using IFS we are able to identify the source of the wounds or trauma and heal them, which allows us to create a more positive Body Image.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Body image concerns are some of the most common conversations people have in building a satisfying sexual life. Body image concerns can also deeply affect self-esteem, confidence, emotional well-being, and other relationship dynamics. Couples therapy provides a supportive space to explore the experiences, messages, and pressures that may contribute to negative self-image or self-criticism. Together, couples compassionately discuss the relationship each partner has with their body while addressing the anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or comparison that often accompany body image struggles. Through increased self-awareness and the experience of being known and accepted by their partner, people can begin to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. When they are more intimately connected to themselves, they are also able to more deeply connect to their partner.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Body Image is especially a problem in young adolescents, but it sometimes persists through life. I explore how a person's body has served them well. Body image is also sometimes an issue for non-binary and trans. people and can show up as Body Dysphoria.
