Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in a culture that values certain body types more than others. This reality often brings feelings of shame for people of all body types that do not feel they can live up to these impossible beauty standards. Shame surrounding issues of body image lead to depression, anxiety, self harm and relational difficulties. It is my goal to help patients recognize these harmful thought processes and habits that damage self esteem and ones relationship to their own body. I believe that mitigating these beliefs and patters and lead to happier and healthier lives for those who wish to embark on the journey of body positivity.

North Star Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Treating body image concerns often involves a multifaceted approach. Therapy might begin with CBT to help individuals identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs about their bodies. It is crucial to build self compassion, encourage a focus on the bodies functionality and health versus appearance and society's values on thinness. The goal is to foster a healthier, more accepting view of one's body and to be in a more neutral then anything else.

Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
I am experienced working with young adults struggling with body image issues such as body dysmorphia, Bulimia, Anorexia Nervosa, and being overweight. Social media can be great in many ways, however, young people today are increasingly feeling that they always have to look “camera ready!” People are judged on their instagram photos and how many “likes” they get, and this can make body image take center stage and ;therefore, cause low self-esteem.

Julia Simmons
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror? Do you immediately notice flaws – a nose you wish was smaller, a stomach you wish was flatter, legs you wish were longer or capable of running faster? The thoughts and feelings that you have about your physical appearance are the focus of body image research. Getting comfortable in your own skin can be hard work, but it is truly worth it to put in the work necessary to loving yourself inside and out. Let me guide you through this journey because your worth is not in your weight.

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.
