Psychologist, Psy.D
For a lot of women, how you feel in your body has less to do with the body itself and more to do with what you learned to make it mean - about worth, control, or safety. We work on separating those things, so your relationship with your body can be based on how it actually feels to live in it, not on old rules you never agreed to.

Body image struggles can be quiet and constant—an ongoing sense that your body isn’t good enough, attractive enough, or worth trusting. These thoughts can show up in subtle ways, or take over your daily life. Whether it’s tied to food, weight, aging, sexuality, or how you move through the world, body image issues can affect your confidence, relationships, and self-worth.
This is also personal for me. I’ve done my own work around body image, so I understand how layered and emotional this process can be. Therapy isn’t about pushing unrealistic positivity. It’s about helping you build a more compassionate and honest relationship with your body, one step at a time.
Together, we can explore where these messages came from, how they’ve shaped your behavior and identity, and how to start living in your body with more peace and less shame.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals seeking to develop a healthier relationship with their body by addressing negative self-image, distorted thinking patterns, and underlying emotional factors that contribute to body dissatisfaction. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-compassion training, and mindfulness, I support clients in challenging unrealistic standards, reducing comparison and shame, and building a more balanced and accepting self-view. My work focuses on fostering confidence, resilience, and values-based living, empowering clients to shift from self-criticism to self-respect and to engage more fully in their lives beyond appearance.

Dr. Jacqueline Bentley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Our social culture has created a nonrealistic standard for the way that we should look. However, instead of viewing these standards as unrealistic and unattainable, we continue to beat ourselves up for falling short of the way we believe we should look. I will strive to help you process through your own thoughts and feelings of body image and help to create a more realistic, and healthy perspective of yourself.

Body image is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. It involves the way we perceive and feel about our bodies, as well as the way we believe others perceive us. Body image issues can manifest in a variety of ways, from feeling self-conscious about a specific feature to experiencing anxiety and depression related to body size and shape.
In today's society, where social media and advertising often promote unrealistic beauty standards, it can be challenging to develop a positive body image. However, learning to love and accept our bodies is essential for our overall well-being. It can help us feel more confident, improve our relationships, and enhance our overall quality of life.
Counseling and therapy can be valuable tools for addressing body image issues. Through therapy, individuals can learn to identify and challenge negative beliefs about their bodies, develop coping strategies for managing anxiety and depression, and build a more positive and accepting relationship with their bodies. By focusing on self-care, self-love, and self-compassion, individuals can learn to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
