Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Weight and body size are often treated as simple, individual issues—but the reality is far more complex. People in larger bodies are constantly navigating stigma, bias in healthcare, and cultural messages that equate worth with appearance, discipline, or “health.” Many have experienced being dismissed, shamed, or not taken seriously by providers, which can make seeking support feel frustrating or even unsafe. What gets labeled as a “weight issue” is often connected to stress, trauma, access, medical factors, and the pressure of living in a body that is scrutinized in ways others aren’t.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t approach this work from a place of shame or forced change. We actively challenge weight stigma and the idea that your body needs to be controlled in order for you to be okay. Instead, we work with you to understand your relationship with your body, food, movement, and care—within the context of your actual life. This might include unpacking internalized beliefs, navigating healthcare experiences, addressing emotional or stress-related patterns, and building ways of caring for yourself that feel sustainable and respectful. We also name the cultural and systemic factors shaping how bodies are treated, so you’re not carrying that alone. This is about helping you move toward a relationship with your body that is more grounded, more compassionate, and not defined by external standards.

Obesity
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.
