Sara Johnson-Cardona
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi! I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and am also trained in EMDR and Sensorimotor psychotherapy (L1). My highest value when it comes to providing therapy is you deserve the absolute best quality, and I am dedicated to my own training and consultation in order to provide you with the care you deserve. I would love to work with you so that we could honor the reasons why body image has become such a challenge in your life. I know that there are incredibly good reasons for this, likely both from your individual experiences and potentially from legacies of family and cultural beliefs passed down around bodies. Together we will work to better understand your current relationship with your body, honor the purpose of feeling this way, heal whatever is underneath these ways of being, so that you can be freed up to use your gifts. It would love to support you and help you find the resources that are inside of you. A different way of interacting with yourself and your body is possible.

Harney & Associates
Psychologist, PhD
Many of our clients feel insecure about or even loathe the reflection they see in the mirror. They may feel betrayed or disgusted by their body. We understand the depth of grief, sadness, anger, anxiety that manifests when one is at such odds with their appearance. Our clinicians are well-equipped to explore the emotions and actions that coexist with body dissatisfaction.

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.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help high achievers and perfectionists with body image concerns by addressing the unrealistic standards they may impose on their appearance. Together, we explore how perfectionism fuels negative self-perception and dissatisfaction with their body. I teach clients how to challenge distorted thoughts and replace them with more compassionate, realistic views of themselves. By promoting self-acceptance and focusing on overall well-being rather than appearance, I help them develop a healthier relationship with their body. My goal is to support clients in finding balance between their drive for success and cultivating a positive, nurturing self-image.

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.
