Elyse Gardner, MA, LPCA
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCA
Many clients come to me with a strained relationship to their bodies, managing appearance rather than actually inhabiting it. My work uses somatic and gestalt approaches to help you reconnect with your body as a source of information and wisdom, not something to control. The goal isn't a different body, it's a different relationship with the one you have.

Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
The way you feel about your body can have a powerful impact on confidence, relationships, mood, and everyday life. Struggling with body image may involve self-criticism, comparison, shame, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from your body. Therapy provides a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore these experiences and understand the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Outpatient therapy can help you develop a healthier relationship with your body, strengthen self-compassion, challenge negative thought patterns, and build confidence that isn’t dependent on appearance. Together, we can work toward greater acceptance, emotional well-being, and a more peaceful relationship with yourself.

When You Don’t Feel at Home in Your Body
You might spend hours thinking about food, weight, or how your body looks — yet still feel disconnected or never “enough.” Maybe you compare yourself to others, replay comments you’ve heard about your appearance, or struggle to enjoy things you love because you’re too aware of how you look doing them.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many people — especially women — carry an invisible burden of shame, guilt, and self-criticism around their bodies. What starts as “wanting to be healthier” can turn into a constant inner battle. In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you quiet those harsh inner voices and reconnect with your body in a kinder, more trusting way. You’ll learn tools to:
Challenge the perfectionistic thoughts that feed self-criticism
Understand what drives body-focused fears and anxiety
Build new habits of self-acceptance and calm
Experience genuine comfort and confidence in your skin
Our sessions blend science, mindfulness, and compassion. You’ll have weekly check-ins to track progress and brief daily exercises to practice new patterns — because real change happens between sessions.
I BELIEVE:
Your body is not a problem to fix — it’s your home, your history, and your ally.
Confidence grows when we practice kindness toward ourselves, not punishment.
Comparison steals joy, but connection restores it.
You deserve to live fully — wear the clothes you love, eat without guilt, and show up in your life as you are.
Healing becomes easier when we add a little humor and humanity along the way.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
As my clinical research has been focused on how to improve our relationship to our bodies, I work with individuals seeking to reconnect with their bodies through compassion and curiosity rather than control. My approach invites exploration of how cultural, relational, and internalized messages shape self-perception, fostering greater self-acceptance and shifting form objectification to embodiment.
