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.

Harney & Associates
Psychologist, PhD
Many of our clients feel insecure about the reflection they see in the mirror. They may feel betrayed or dismayed by their body. We understand the depth of grief, sadness, anger, anxiety that manifests when one is at such odds with their appearance. Our clinicians are well-equipped to explore the emotions and actions that coexist with body dissatisfaction.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Struggles with body image can affect confidence, relationships, and overall mental health. I work with individuals experiencing negative self-perception, shame, or persistent dissatisfaction with their appearance. Treatment focuses on addressing underlying emotional patterns, improving self-acceptance, and developing healthier ways of relating to one’s body and self-worth.
