Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I believe that we are all victims of our culture's harmful messages about body size, shape and appearance. Rather than being taught to appreciate all our bodies do for us and trust our bodies' signals, so many of us have been taught to control our bodies and deprive our bodies of nourishment, joy, and rest. I am passionate about supporting people in unlearning these harmful messages and building a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you find yourself avoiding mirrors or scales? Or...are you constantly weighing yourself? Inspecting yourself? Dressing in ways to hide your body? Do you have rules about eating or exercise? I want to help you feel better about yourself, to calm those self-critical beliefs and feel secure in your skin. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating body image.

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.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
I have worked with individuals, including older adolescents, experiencing symptoms synonymous with "states" of "dis-orders" including anorexia and bulimia, as well as binge-eating disorder. Efforts to reprogram distorted thoughts and images regarding perceptions, as well as retraining healthy habits and relationships with food are usually incorporated into the therapy and treatment programs.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Lots of people don’t like their bodies. Maybe abuse or neglect created dissociation, an eating disorder or depression. Body distortions can happen for a variety of reasons, each needing a somewhat different approach. I’m also an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist.
