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.

Embarking on the journey of cultivating a positive body image is a transformative and empowering endeavor. My focus is to provide a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your relationship with your body. Together, we navigate the complexities of societal pressures, self-perception, and personal expectations, working towards fostering self-love and acceptance. My therapeutic approach combines empathy with practical tools, guiding you to reclaim a sense of agency over your self-image.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
We address Body Image by dismantling the colonial and carceral standards that tell us our bodies are "wrong" or "unruly." Using liberation theology and somatic work, we help you reclaim your physical form as a site of sanctuary and power. Our work is to move you from self-surveillance to a state of embodied autonomy.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
We are born happy in our own skin. As kids, we are curious about our bodies and enjoy exploring them. Then something goes wrong. A well-meaning parent suggests we skip dessert, and the dolls we play with are so anatomically inaccurate they would fall over if they were humans. Then we start to attend school and become more aware of the larger culture. We notice only certain types of bodies are portrayed in the media. Our peers and our social media tell us we should look a particular way. This story may sound familiar, and sadly, it’s a common one. Unfortunately, for so many of us, the dissatisfaction with our bodies starts when we are young and persists for many years, particularly if we don’t start to examine how we think. Together, through radical self-acceptance, fat positivity, and the anti-diet framework we can begin to work toward healing.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Body image struggles are rarely just about appearance. They often reflect deeper experiences of shame, self-criticism, comparison, and the belief that your worth depends on how you look. Therapy offers a space to understand these patterns with compassion, reconnect with your body as an ally rather than an enemy, and cultivate a more grounded, accepting relationship with yourself.
