Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in helping children, adolescents, and young adults improve their body image and self-esteem. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to address the complex factors that influence body image, including societal pressures, personal experiences, and emotional well-being.
Body image issues can significantly impact mental health, leading to conditions such as body dysmorphic disorder, eating disorders, and depression. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thoughts about their bodies. She also integrates mindfulness practices to promote self-acceptance and reduce the impact of societal beauty standards.
Dr. Downs’s approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring personalized care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of body image concerns. She creates a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their feelings and develop a healthier relationship with their bodies.
In addition to in-person sessions, Dr. Downs offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Her goal is to empower clients to achieve a positive body image and enhance their overall well-being through compassionate and collaborative therapy.

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.
