Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in helping children, adolescents, and young adults improve their body image and self-esteem. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to address the complex factors that influence body image, including societal pressures, personal experiences, and emotional well-being.
Body image issues can significantly impact mental health, leading to conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders, and depression. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thoughts about their bodies. She also integrates mindfulness practices to promote self-acceptance and reduce the impact of societal beauty standards.
Dr. Downs’s approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring personalized care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of body image concerns. She creates a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their feelings and develop a healthier relationship with their bodies.
In addition to in-person sessions, Dr. Downs offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Her goal is to empower clients to achieve a positive body image and enhance their overall well-being through compassionate and collaborative therapy.

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.

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.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to supporting clients struggling with body image concerns. I focus on understanding how body image develops in the context of experiences, relationships, and societal pressures, rather than simply trying to “fix” it. Together, we explore patterns of self-criticism, shame, and avoidance while cultivating self-compassion and acceptance.
I integrate somatic, parts-informed, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate emotional responses, and build healthier relationships with themselves. My approach is relational and client-centered, emphasizing understanding, empowerment, and practical tools to support lasting change in how clients feel, move, and relate to their bodies.
