Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you someone who struggles to feel present in their body? Do you feel attuned to your body's cues? Are you tired of always being on a diet? Are you hoping to have a better relationship with food and movement, but unsure how to get there?
Body image struggles can feel so isolating, but you do not have to face them alone. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” your relationship with your body- it's about building insight and practical tools around your body image struggles. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, chronic illness, and more- and how ALL of these affect how you feel about your body.

Her Healing Therapy PLLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LCMHC
Changes in our bodies can influence how we see ourselves, particularly during perimenopause, menopause, and the aging process. I help women explore concerns related to body image, physical changes, and self-acceptance in a compassionate, judgment-free environment. Together, we work toward developing a healthier relationship with your body, challenging unrealistic expectations, and building confidence that isn't defined solely by appearance.

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.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people struggle with body image because of the messages they have received from family, peers, culture, and social media about how they "should" look. In therapy, we'll explore how these experiences have shaped the way you view yourself and work toward developing a more compassionate and accepting relationship with your body. Together, we'll also examine your relationship with food and identify sustainable, balanced approaches that support both your physical and emotional well-being, helping to reduce the self-criticism and distress that often accompany body image concerns.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in a culture that values certain body types more than others. This reality often brings feelings of shame for people of all body types that do not feel they can live up to these impossible beauty standards. Shame surrounding issues of body image lead to depression, anxiety, self harm and relational difficulties. It is my goal to help patients recognize these harmful thought processes and habits that damage self esteem and ones relationship to their own body. I believe that mitigating these beliefs and patters and lead to happier and healthier lives for those who wish to embark on the journey of body positivity.
