Many women struggle with body image, as unrealistic expectations continue to be placed on women by western culture. Particularly women who are older, or those who are on the end of the bell curve (underweight or overweight) struggle to keep body-shaming from affecting their self-worth. Our culture also places an unhealthy amount of value on youth, so as young people begin to age, many develop issues with body image due to not feeling as pretty or confident as they once did. Also, those who have been victims of emotional and/or narcissistic abuse may struggle with body image in particular, as this type of abuse is very cruel and repetitively chips away at a victim's self-worth. Clients who have had parents with narcissistic traits may have been raised to believe that they are more valuable when they look a certain way or are a certain weight. Depending on the root cause of the body image disturbance, I can partner with you to challenge the validity of the thoughts that are contributing to a decreased sense of self worth as well as process traumatic or particularly cruel events that have been stored in the emotional brain, or the amygdala, through journaling exercises. The ability to attain a healthy body image is possible, regardless of age, race, weight, or gender, as the key to having a healthy self-image in general involves a healthy sense of value derived from within, as opposed to what any external evidence may be present. This is a reasonable goal, so if you find yourself struggling with body image, please reach out so we can begin your journey to healing from the inside out!

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.

Jeannette Craigfeld
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
I was trained in Feminist Therapy and aim to use a feminist and multicultural lens in all of the work that I do, including in helping clients understand how they have internalized toxic societal messages. I encourage these clients to keep challenging these ideas and seek media and community with more body positive messaging. I also work with these clients to increase their overall sense of self-compassion and self-acceptance.
