Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Your relationship with your body often has a story behind it, shaped by family, culture, and past
experience. We'll work to separate what you were taught to believe about your body
from what is actually true, with compassion instead of judgment.

Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
The ways in which we view our bodies plays a role in how we view ourselves overall. How we view ourselves can impact how we show up to our everyday lives. My approach to body image includes a lot of self-compassion, affirmations, and achieving health not a specific number on the scale.

Josh Spell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Body image does not only include how we perceive our body, but also how we feel, think and experience our body. I believe that learning to identify the systems that impress a certain belief about how one sees their body, building body trust and tolerance for emotions and learning to interrupt automatic beliefs about one's body can help bring someone closer to true embodiment and ease.

Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Body image concerns can quietly influence nearly every part of life. You may avoid photos, intimacy, dating, certain clothes, exercise settings, or social events because you feel uncomfortable being seen. You might compare yourself constantly, fixate on perceived flaws, or believe you need to look different before you can feel attractive, confident, or worthy of connection.
My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how criticism, bullying, rejection, family messages, cultural expectations, or past relationships shaped the way you learned to view your body. These experiences can create deeply rooted beliefs that continue operating in the background, even when another part of you knows they are unfair or unrealistic.
I also use CBT to help you identify distorted thoughts, challenge harsh self-judgments, and develop a more balanced view of yourself. When appropriate, we may use gradual behavioral “missions” to reduce avoidance, such as wearing something you like, attending an event without excessive appearance checking, allowing yourself to be photographed, or becoming more comfortable with vulnerability and intimacy. Mindfulness can also help you notice critical thoughts without automatically treating them as facts.
When body-image distress is connected to painful or traumatic experiences, approaches such as EMDR may help reduce the emotional charge attached to those memories. The goal is not to convince you that you must love every part of your appearance every day. It is to help you develop a more respectful and peaceful relationship with your body, separate your worth from how you look, and participate more fully in the life and relationships you want.

Are you living out someone else's story of your body?
Is your relationship with your body one of judgement, shame, disconnection or control?

You deserve a loving strong relationship with your body that allows you for more self-acceptance and peace in your life. Through a variety of tools that may include somatic work, art therapy, movement or other modalities begin the path of returning to and making peace with your body

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. 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.

Everett is a Snohomish County city home to Boeing's enormous widebody aircraft manufacturing complex—the largest building by volume in the world—as well as Naval Station Everett, and its mental health landscape reflects both the occupational stresses of high-skill aerospace manufacturing and the military family dynamics of a naval installation community. The city has experienced significant social challenges including elevated rates of opioid and methamphetamine use, and behavioral health organizations including Compass Health have invested significantly in community mental health resources. Everett is also an increasingly affordable alternative to the central Seattle market, drawing families and workers, but also navigating homelessness and housing insecurity at meaningful levels. Common therapy concerns include aerospace and manufacturing workforce stress, military family dynamics, substance use and recovery, economic anxiety, and the challenges of a working-class industrial city carrying significant social service demand.
