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.

Does this sound familiar? You struggle with negative thoughts about your body, basing your worth on your appearance, obsessing about your weight and shape, and constantly comparing yourself to others. Your self-esteem is tied to the number on your scale. You may even find that your relationships and ability to enjoy life are suffering. You may avoid wearing certain kinds of clothes, being in photos, attending social events, swimming, pursuing hobbies, or trying new things. Deep down, you yearn for a more peaceful, connected and fulfilling life where your time and energy are focused on the things that truly matter to you. With Health at Every Size (HAES), Intuitive Eating (IE), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and other evidence-based approaches, I will help you cultivate self-worth and body respect so you can be kind to yourself and redirect your energy to what fills you with purpose and joy. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with negative body image and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

We all hear a duality of messages: Criticize your body: Accept you body. We all walk this line yet it's normal to intellectually know something is not right but to embody acceptance of oneself is also possible with support.

Jennifer Canu

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
People struggle with body image in response to a variety of triggers, some internal and some external. The American culture historically has reinforced a specific body image that most of us don't fit into. A history of trauma can further increase body-image challenges. I help people explore and get to know parts of themselves struggling to accept the body they are in.

I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - especially women - on feeling good about who we are and the bodies we live in. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (and how they interact to impact our confidence) is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, bodies, and identities.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
We are born happy in our own skin. As kids, we are curious about our bodies and enjoy exploring them. Then something goes wrong. A well-meaning parent suggests we skip dessert, and the dolls we play with are so anatomically inaccurate they would fall over if they were humans. Then we start to attend school and become more aware of the larger culture. We notice only certain types of bodies are portrayed in the media. Our peers and our social media tell us we should look a particular way. This story may sound familiar, and sadly, it’s a common one. Unfortunately, for so many of us, the dissatisfaction with our bodies starts when we are young and persists for many years, particularly if we don’t start to examine how we think. Together, through radical self-acceptance, fat positivity, and the anti-diet framework we can begin to work toward healing.

Lisa Paer

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
I’m a body-positive and HAES-aligned therapist who has recovered from my own disordered eating and body image issues. I’m trained in Intuitive Eating, which is a way of eating that honors your body’s cues and needs. Body image can affect your self-esteem, happiness, health, and well-being. It can cause you to feel dissatisfied, ashamed, or obsessed with your appearance. I can help you improve your body image and feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin.
