Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Unfortunately in our culture people tend to feel their value is based on looks, particularly body image. Because so much focus is placed on our bodies, the way we feel about ourselves is almost always an issue even if it isn't what has brought someone to therapy originally. It is very rewarding working with someone to improve the way they feel about themselves and as a result, increased self-confidence follows.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Working on our body image can be a life long process. I have found that this is a common "go to" in our thoughts when we are feeling negative about almost anything in our life. Working to notice how a thought can affect our feelings and then practicing "catching" our thoughts as they happen and refocus them can completely turn around these sticky negative body image thoughts.

How we conceptualize ourselves is a complicated mental process. If you find yourself regularly questioning your satisfaction with your appearance or feeling pressured to look a certain way, therapy may help!

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have extensive experience working with negative body image. In our culture we get bombarded by objectifying and impossible messages of what our body should look like. It’s no wonder we eventually start to objectify ourselves. I work by identifying the messages clients have introjected to create more and more mental and somatic Soave from them. I use compassion focused therapy to help clients nurture a sense of empathy for their journeys and their bodies. From a place of compassion self-love can flourish.

Taylor Swing
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are your negative thoughts about your body keeping you from enjoying your life? Do you constantly compare yourself to others? We all desire healthy relationships both with others and ourselves. The relationship we have with our bodies can be complicated. Media, the diet industry, previous experiences, and our own thoughts about our body can impact our self image and intimacy with others. I use a Health At Every Size (HAES®) and body liberation framework to support you in your goals. Through therapy, acceptance and peace within our bodies can grow and be nurtured to help you live your fullest life.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a nurturing and non-judgmental space for clients struggling with body image concerns, employing a holistic approach that combines various therapeutic tools to address each person's unique experience. Through Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we delve into the roots of body image issues, working together to shift perceptions and foster a healthier relationship with oneself. This process is about more than just addressing concerns with appearance; it's about understanding and transforming the way one feels about their body at a deeper level. By integrating these strategies, I support clients in developing self-compassion, improving self-esteem, and embracing a more positive body image. My role is to guide and empower you through this journey of self-discovery and acceptance, providing the tools and encouragement needed to cultivate a more loving and accepting view of your body.
