Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients with body image concerns by addressing the self-criticism, comparison, perfectionism, and unrealistic standards that often shape how they see themselves. In therapy, we work on challenging distorted thoughts, reducing shame, and building a more compassionate and realistic relationship with the body. My goal is to help clients focus less on constant self-evaluation and more on overall well-being, confidence, and self-acceptance.

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.

Marina Harris, Bloom Psychology Group
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P, CMPC
So many of my clients are smart, accomplished, capable people, who spend a lot of time agonizing about their body weight or shape. I help clients unlearn cultural and critical messages about their body (from diet culture, social media, or harmful athletic environments) to build body trust, body autonomy, and body respect. We work on taking a body neutral approach, so that you have a strong relationship with your body on both the good and bad days.
