Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
If you’re constantly at war with your reflection or caught in a cycle of self-criticism, you’re not alone. We live in a world full of unrealistic standards and loud opinions about how we should look—and it can take a real toll on how we feel in our own skin.
I work with clients to untangle their relationship with their bodies using compassion-based therapy, mindfulness practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work. My approach isn’t about “fixing” your body—it’s about healing how you relate to it. We’ll explore where the harsh inner voice came from, learn to quiet it, and reconnect you with the values and experiences that matter far more than a number on a scale or the shape of a mirror image.
As a long-time psychologist (and a human in this culture too), I know that body image struggles are deeply personal—and deeply valid. I bring humor, warmth, and evidence-based tools to help you move toward body respect, self-compassion, and a healthier, more peaceful relationship with yourself.
You deserve to feel at home in your body—and I’d be honored to help you find your way back there.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with body image, body dissatisfaction, self-criticism, or feeling disconnected from their bodies. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs and experiences that may have shaped the way you see and relate to your body, including messages about worth, appearance, acceptance, and belonging. My work helps clients move away from shame, judgment, and the belief that their bodies must look a certain way to be worthy, lovable, or enough. Through a compassionate, somatic, and trauma-informed approach, I help clients develop a safer, more accepting relationship with their bodies and reconnect with their inherent worth beyond appearance.
