Prestige Counseling & Coaching Group
Professional Christian Counselor, Certified Christian Therapist, Coach & Consultant with a PhD in Psychology
The embodied self is a psychospiritual concept that hosts existential questions of “Who am I? What am I? Where does my value lay?” Our relationship with our bodies can be fraught with neglect and dissociation as we learn to ignore the many messages it sends to us. The embodied self can be experienced in a positive or negative manner, and it is strongly related to self-esteem, self-image, and one’s satisfaction with personal and sexual intimacy. A positive sense of an embodied self is associated with autonomy, functionality, joy and fulfillment. However, chronic illness, disability and accidents, and negative social sanctions can result in a sense of disembodiment. Call our office for more detailed information.

Rena Diamond
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC, NCC, CCH
In our image-obsessed society, body image concerns are unfortunately incredibly common. As a result of long-entrenched patterns of thought and behaviors, we can feel defined and constrained by our outside appearance. In the safe space of therapy, we can start to question and dismantle some of our habitual ways of thinking about our bodies, and learn to relate to ourselves with love and compassion.

Brad Croyle
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
I work with clients who struggle with Body Image issues. Commonly, this is the result of some past trauma and a severe reaction to something from the past. This is also spurred from the mainstream media, which we will work to curb and develop more healthier expectations. During our sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them that helps you resolve such issues in a meaningful manner to restore functioning enabling and empowering you to move beyond your past. I practice from a Holistic perspective and commonly employ EMDR and other effective modalities with helping clients achieve balance and purpose in their lives and creative solutions to their problems. This includes exploring past issues and trauma that may be a factor. Our goal is to make lasting and desired changes to promote healthy relationships and positive interactions. You can learn to appreciate you for being you, and we will work to redefine who you are and what your true values are as well. This will lead to a more genuine and authentic self and sense of being.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.
