Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Body image can influence how you feel about yourself, your relationships, your confidence, and your ability to fully engage in life. I help clients explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that shape their relationship with their bodies. Together, we work toward challenging unhelpful beliefs and thoughts, cultivating self-compassion, and building a more accepting and supportive relationship with your body. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin and engage in life with greater confidence and self-understanding.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Body image is not just personal—it’s shaped by powerful cultural messages about which bodies are acceptable, desirable, and worthy of care. From a young age, many people are exposed to narrow, often Eurocentric and ableist standards that are reinforced through media, family systems, healthcare, and broader societal norms. These messages don’t just stay external—they get internalized. Over time, they can shape how you see yourself, how you treat your body, and even what you believe you deserve. For people in marginalized bodies—whether due to race, size, gender identity, disability, or other identities—these pressures are often more intense, more scrutinized, and more harmful.
At Nour Counseling, we take a deeper approach to body image work. We actively help you unpack the cultural conditioning and dominant narratives that have shaped your beliefs about your body, so you can begin to separate your voice from what you’ve been taught to internalize. We look at how these patterns show up in your daily life—whether that’s body checking, restriction, avoidance, comparison, or harsh self-talk—and build practical, realistic ways to shift them. This might include changing how you engage with social media, setting boundaries around conversations that reinforce harm, reconnecting with your body’s needs, and developing a more grounded, respectful relationship with yourself. This isn’t about forcing body positivity—it’s about helping you step out of inherited narratives and move toward something that actually feels like yours.

Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you someone who struggles to feel present in their body? Do you feel attuned to your body's cues? Are you tired of always being on a diet? Are you hoping to have a better relationship with food and movement, but unsure how to get there?
Body image struggles can feel so isolating, but you do not have to face them alone. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” your relationship with your body- it's about building insight and practical tools around your body image struggles. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, chronic illness, and more- and how ALL of these affect how you feel about your body.
