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.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Living under the pressures of diet culture and social media can severely fracture your relationship with your physical self. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) frameworks, I help individuals challenge deep-seated, unrealistic appearance standards and self-critical thought distortions. Together, we unpack the family, cultural, and societal origins of these beliefs, working to replace avoidance behaviors and body-checking habits with sustainable self-compassion, resilience, and body neutrality.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCM, CFSW, Master ART Practitioner
I work with adults who struggle with body image, self-criticism, shame, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Therapy can help you explore the roots of these struggles, build a more compassionate relationship with your body, and reduce the grip that appearance-based thoughts have on your daily life.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Body image concerns often extend beyond appearance and can be shaped by deeper experiences related to identity, self-worth, and external expectations. Many women find themselves in a cycle of self-criticism or comparison that impacts confidence and daily life. In our work together, we focus on understanding how these patterns developed and building a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with your body that supports overall well-being rather than constant evaluation.

Springfield is Missouri's third-largest city and the hub of the Ozarks region, home to Missouri State University and several other colleges, which gives it an active student population alongside a broader community of families, retirees, and healthcare and service sector workers. The cultural landscape of southwest Missouri is predominantly evangelical and conservative, which influences how mental health is perceived in the community, though awareness and acceptance of therapy have grown considerably in recent years. CoxHealth and Mercy Hospital both operate significant behavioral health programs in Springfield, making the city an important regional resource for mental health care across the rural Ozarks. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, faith and religious identity, family and relationship issues, and the particular stresses of navigating mental health care in a region where stigma is gradually but meaningfully declining.
