Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

Brian McCormack (Connemara Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A/LMHCA
I provide support for individuals struggling with obesity, focusing on the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive factors that contribute to weight-related challenges. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, habit formation, and lifestyle-focused interventions, I help clients develop sustainable changes in eating patterns, physical activity, and self-regulation. My work emphasizes long-term health, improved self-image, and realistic goal-setting, empowering clients to build consistency, resilience, and a balanced approach to overall well-being.

Virginia Health and Medical Psychology
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologst
Managing weight can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions, habits, and medical conditions are involved. I help clients explore the psychological factors that impact eating and lifestyle choices, develop practical, sustainable strategies for behavior change, and build a healthier relationship with their body. The goal is much more than weight loss, but improved confidence, well-being, and long-term success.

Kelly Sestero
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LHMC, NCC
As a certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I work with individuals who are caught in the cycle of weight cycling. Weight cycling not only harms physical health but negative effects our relationships to food and our bodies. Let me help you work through steps to reject diet culture and build a healthy relationship with food.
