Obesity
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Struggling with weight can be emotionally complicated. You might be dealing with shame, frustration, stress about medical feedback, or years of internalized messages about your body. For many people, weight isn’t just about food or habits—it's connected to stress, trauma, metabolism, family patterns, or emotional coping. It’s rarely as simple as “just try harder,” even though the world often makes it seem that way.
In therapy, we’ll explore your relationship with your body, food, and self-worth in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. I take a holistic and compassionate approach, helping you understand the emotional factors that influence patterns, reduce shame, build healthier coping skills, and create sustainable changes that honor both your mental and physical well-being. Whether your goal is improving health, developing a more peaceful relationship with food, or moving away from cycles of guilt and self-criticism, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Progressable
Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Therapy / Hypnotherapy
Obesity is an issue that has roots in fear, loss of identity, corrosive core beliefs and heart/brain disconnection. Progressable helps clients break free through finding the use of innovative tools such as Identity Scripting, LightSource Therapy (non physical), mental imaging and hypnotherapy. Clients experience a greater internal power from which to make body decisions and choices. The therapy session/s is followed up by an deeply encouraging email with a customized meditation to be listened to for 21 days to embed the new beliefs around food and behaviours.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
When we hold shame about our bodies, we often become disconnected from ourselves and those around us. You might feel you have missed out on magical experiences with friends and lovers because you were distracted by comparison and cruel thoughts about your body. You might find it hard to stay present during sexual intimacy because you’re trying to imagine how your body is being perceived from different angles. Maybe you were taught by our culture or other influential figures that there was something wrong with you because of how your body looks or behaves. Repairing your relationship with your body is hard work that can powerfully shift your relationships, making you more available for pleasure and connection. We’re here for you on your journey to radical self-acceptance!
