Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Body Image is especially a problem in young adolescents, but it sometimes persists through life. I explore how a person's body has served them well. Body image is also sometimes an issue for non-binary and trans. people and can show up as Body Dysphoria.

Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I take a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to supporting clients struggling with body image concerns. I focus on understanding how body image develops in the context of experiences, relationships, and societal pressures, rather than simply trying to “fix” it. Together, we explore patterns of self-criticism, shame, and avoidance while cultivating self-compassion and acceptance.
I integrate somatic, parts-informed, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate emotional responses, and build healthier relationships with themselves. My approach is relational and client-centered, emphasizing understanding, empowerment, and practical tools to support lasting change in how clients feel, move, and relate to their bodies.

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.

Elizabeth Hammond
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
In a culture that profits from our self-doubt, reclaiming your body is a radical act of self-care. Body image work isn't about forced "body positivity" or loving how you look every single day; it’s about embodiment—the ability to live inside your body rather than viewing it as a project to be fixed. I help women and LGBTQIA+ individuals navigate the grief of letting go of the "ideal" body and transitioning toward body neutrality. We will work to dismantle the external voices of shame so you can reconnect with your physical self with respect and autonomy.
