Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Body image concerns often extend beyond appearance and can be shaped by deeper experiences related to identity, self-worth, and external expectations. Many women find themselves in a cycle of self-criticism or comparison that impacts confidence and daily life. In our work together, we focus on understanding how these patterns developed and building a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with your body that supports overall well-being rather than constant evaluation.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
We will explore root cause of your body dysmorphia and disordered eating issue to process and heal the memory/event/emotions/beliefs in a safe and loving way, usually with a childhood regression. We will also release the old thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you and reframe/rewire them with new healthy programming through goals we customize in your hypnotic recordings together. I also provide those with body dysmorphic disorder a took kit to proactively dismantle impusles before they arrive and to override maladaptive choices that hurt you and make decisions that support your new goal of health, vitality and inner peace. Ultimately, you are returned to safety again through emotional regulation.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients with body image concerns by addressing the self-criticism, comparison, perfectionism, and unrealistic standards that often shape how they see themselves. In therapy, we work on challenging distorted thoughts, reducing shame, and building a more compassionate and realistic relationship with the body. My goal is to help clients focus less on constant self-evaluation and more on overall well-being, confidence, and self-acceptance.

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.
