Body image affects all of us at some point in our lives. Together we identify what's coming up for you and how to address it moving forward. I have additional training in adult ADHD and the unique challenges it poses relating to body image.

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.
9 Years Experience
Online in Tacoma, WA Washington (Online Only)
Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
