Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you find yourself avoiding mirrors or scales? Or...are you constantly weighing yourself? Inspecting yourself? Dressing in ways to hide your body? Do you have rules about eating or exercise? I want to help you feel better about yourself, to calm those self-critical beliefs and feel secure in your skin. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating body image.

Baumann Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Body image concerns are very common and my approach includes an emphasis on highlighting societal impacts as well as personal beliefs about body and a client's relationship to their body. I utilize some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles with a focus on improving a client's relationship with their body, exploring emotional factors that contribute to dissatisfaction and healing one's relationship with their body.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Especially in my work with transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) community, body image is often in context to what we are processing. Body image work can look a variety of ways, such as deconstructing and healing internalizations of fat phobia, transphobia, and European body ideals. I like to make it clear - I am a firm believer in the Healthy at Every Size movement and we can utilize this space to find a path towards connecting your mind and your authentic and congruent body.

Heather Wilcox, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW
Due to unrealistic cultural expectations, many if not most women have times in their life when they struggle with the way they feel about their body. We work together to identify negative messages that have become internalized over the years and replace them with more realistic, positive ones.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
The relationship we have with our body and self-image can change over time. Comparison, feeling hyper focused on looking a certain way, and even messages you may have received growing up about your body can all go into affecting our view of self. I take a compassionate approach to understanding and helping you feel more confident (and compassionate!) with who you are on both an emotional and physical level.
