Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in supporting clients who struggle with body image, self-worth, and the mental performance pressures that often accompany high expectations, whether in athletics, academics, careers, or personal life. Many clients experience a constant internal dialogue of self-criticism, comparison, or feeling like their value is tied to their appearance or performance. This can lead to anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and a disconnection from their own sense of confidence and identity. Our work focuses on helping clients develop a healthier relationship with their body, strengthen self-trust, and shift from harsh self-judgment to a more grounded, supportive internal voice. Using evidence-based and performance-informed approaches, we help clients improve mental resilience, emotional regulation, and confidence so they can perform at their highest level while maintaining their well-being and sense of self.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggles with body image are often tied to shame, trauma, and the pressures of diet culture. In addition to IFS and mindfulness, I draw on specialized training in Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, and Body Trust approaches. These frameworks recognize how dieting and cultural messages can fuel disordered eating patterns such as restriction, bingeing, or cycles of shame. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion, reconnecting with body wisdom, and creating a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and self. I provide diagnostic clarity when body image concerns overlap with eating disorders, depression, or trauma.

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.
