Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
I'm a plus sized woman. I've been there. You eat with friends at a restaurant, and police yourself and what or how much you eat. You walk into a gym (if you make it that far!) to either lose weight or gain mass, but cannot seem to do anything because it feels like there's judgement coming from all sides. You are exasperated that people think it's OK to make remarks about being 'so skinny' or otherwise comment on your body/appearance. You hate shopping for clothes or cosmetics, or participating in activities because of how you feel about your body. Let's talk. It's so difficult to break free from societal expectations without someone on your side.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence can be a challenging time, especially when it comes to body image concerns that deeply affect self-esteem and overall well-being. With my expertise in adolescent psychology, I am committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based support to teens facing these struggles. By combining cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychoeducation, and experiential interventions, I collaborate closely with teens to help them challenge negative beliefs and develop a more balanced and compassionate relationship with their bodies. My goal is to empower them to navigate this critical period with greater confidence and self-acceptance.

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.

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.
