Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.

Rebekah Ruth Jones, Ed.D., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D., LPC
Nothing will work harder for you and endure more mistreatment from you than your body. Together, we can work on developing a healthier relationship with your body. One that honors your needs and promotes overall health and not a beauty standard. You were never meant to have your worth limited by how attractive you are to others or even to yourself.

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.

Alyssa Williamson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
Most of my clients would tell me that if they could just change their bodies, they believe that they would be happy. The truth is, only about 5% of women and girls report being happy with their bodies, and weight loss is not shown to improve this statistic. Maybe the issue is with how we think about our bodies and not our actual bodies themselves. As a therapist, I work with my clients and show up for their lives fully, while learning to nurture and care for the bodies they're in.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
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.

Hollie Pool
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do you find yourself being your own harshest critic when it comes to your body? Maybe you spend a lot of time comparing yourself to others, fixating on perceived flaws, or feeling like you have to look a certain way to feel confident or worthy. When your relationship with your body becomes a constant source of stress, it can be difficult to feel comfortable in your own skin or fully enjoy the life you're living.
My approach to body image focuses on helping you challenge the beliefs and thought patterns that fuel self-criticism, comparison, and feelings of inadequacy. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion practices, we'll work together to recognize negative self-talk, separate your self-worth from your appearance, and develop a more balanced relationship with your body. We may explore thought reframing, values-based activities, mindfulness, and strategies for reducing comparison and checking behaviors. We'll also work on building body neutrality, setting boundaries around appearance-related conversations, and making space for experiences that bring you joy beyond how you look.
You don't have to love every part of your body every day to treat yourself with kindness and respect. My goal is to help you spend less time criticizing your appearance and more time living a life that feels meaningful, connected, and fulfilling. Together, we'll work toward a relationship with yourself that is rooted in self-compassion rather than perfection, comparison, or unrealistic expectations. You deserve to feel at home in your life, not just when you feel good about how you look.
