XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Body image struggles are rarely just about appearance—they are often rooted in messages from culture, family, and trauma. I create a safe space to untangle shame, comparison, and disconnection from your body. Through somatic awareness and culturally centered conversations, we work toward body respect, intuitive eating, and freedom from the weight of external expectations.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with clients to help them learn self-compassion and to see themselves as they really are. With many forces attacking our sense of self and our body image, therapy can be a helpful tool to love ourselves, correct our misperceptions, and appreciate the body we have.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Body image concerns are some of the most common conversations people have in building a satisfying sexual life. Body image concerns can also deeply affect self-esteem, confidence, emotional well-being, and other relationship dynamics. Couples therapy provides a supportive space to explore the experiences, messages, and pressures that may contribute to negative self-image or self-criticism. Together, couples compassionately discuss the relationship each partner has with their body while addressing the anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or comparison that often accompany body image struggles. Through increased self-awareness and the experience of being known and accepted by their partner, people can begin to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. When they are more intimately connected to themselves, they are also able to more deeply connect to their partner.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggles with body image are often tied to shame, trauma, and the pressures of diet culture. In addition to IFS and mindfulness, I draw on specialized training in Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, and Body Trust approaches. These frameworks recognize how dieting and cultural messages can fuel disordered eating patterns such as restriction, bingeing, or cycles of shame. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion, reconnecting with body wisdom, and creating a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and self. I provide diagnostic clarity when body image concerns overlap with eating disorders, depression, or trauma.
