Having worked in eating disorder clinics since 2017, I have extensive knowledge of working with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image distress. I take a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to my work.

Amber Liechty (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I have extensive training in body image and eating disorders, with primary experience in disorders of over control - namely anorexia and body dysmorphia.

Jillian Brown (She/Her)

Professional Counselor Associate

LPCa

I have worked with hundreds of people in support of finding love and appreciation for themselves. There are so many deeply ingrained messages around how we should or shouldn't look/act/be. I work with shifting those beliefs on a deep subconscious level so that it becomes easy to make healthy choices and you can have the confidence that you know how to take good care of yourself with ease.

Is your kiddo struggling with feelings of insecurity about their body? Are you a pissed off femme, wondering why all of the years of unpacking/unlearning patriarchy still have not left you feeling secure in your body? Are you NB/GNC and needing a space to process what it is like to simply live in your body? I never want you to feel shamed of your body again. I want to support you in finding peace, safety, and ease in your body. I genuinely believe that is everyone's birthright.

Whether you're struggling with body dysmorphia, weight gain/loss, or depression-related to body issues, I can help you reach healthy, sustainable gols with self-compassion at the core of the work we will do together.

Xan Scott (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

We are bombarded daily with images telling us how our bodies "should" look. It is a trillion dollar industry built around this "fix it" messaging. Do you ever find yourself scrolling endlessly on social media and naturally start to compare? It can be an overwhelming experience and can create feelings of low self-worth and we might not even be aware we are doing it! Learning to love and celebrate our bodies is key. It is a step by step process that together we can build trust and learn how to do.

Chelsea Kellogg (she/her/hers)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

M.A. Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy

I practice from a Health at Every Size and intuitive eating model to help people feel liberated in their bodies, and with food. This model also involves addressing internalized ableism.

Abby Ernst (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA in Counseling and Eating Disorder Certification

Body image is something that many people struggle with at some point in their life. And how could you not when we live in a world so focused on dieting and getting smaller. I have specific training regarding working with body image and moving away from body shame.

Erica Grossman, LPC

Professional Counselor

In our society there is constant messaging that we must look a certain way. We are taught to feel inadequate and a general sense of shame if we don't live up to society's beauty standards. I can help you move from that place of shame, to a place of self-love and acceptance of who you are and what you look like today. You have inherent value because you are a person. I will honor that in our work.

Laura La Rosa (She/Her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

MA, MSW, LCSW

We are not our thoughts and we don't have to believe them. Body image struggles are likely attached to unskillful and habitual thinking. We can work together to dis-empower the habitual thoughts that hold you hostage. We can craft accurate thoughts that support your self esteem. Lets work collaboratively to improve your relationship to your body, mind and emotions.

Sonia Holdaway (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS

If you have a difficult relationship with your body, food, exercise, or all of the above, you are not alone. I specialize in body image and eating disorders, and love to help clients reconnect with an inner sense of health & balance in an affirming, body-positive space. I will support you in challenging external messages about how you should be, and help you connect instead with your needs, your values, and your intuitive healthy self.

Ashley Parkinson (she/her/hers)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, CADC-I

I work with body image issues from a body positive, HAES (Health at Every Size) perspective, and from my own lived experience as someone who has learned to see beyond diet and fat-hating culture to a place of body acceptance and respect. I support my clients wherever they are in their relationships with their bodies through the principles of Intuitive Eating and Be Nourished's "Body Trust" model. I employ Motivational Interviewing to help people identify personal values and goals toward change.

In my training and research, I examined the impacts of body image concerns on BIPOC folx, women-identified individuals, and trans and gender-expansive folx across the lifespan.

Krystal Marcinkiewicz

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

We live in a society that can flood us with negative messages as to how our bodies are wrong. I work with clients to decrease shame and guilt around the body they reside in, and find safety and comfort in taking up the personal space you have the right to occupy .

Neil Panchmatia (he/they)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, NCC, Licensed Professional Counselor

Too often we are told we are not good enough and we need to change how we look, sound, move etc. Entire businesses run on making us feel less than. In such a cultural environment, being ourselves fully and unapologetically is the best revolution we can engage in. I work with clients using tenets of HAES and Intuitive Eating to create tailored programs of radical self love and body diversity.

Lindsay Day (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS

I recognize the prevalence of diet culture that permeates through consumed media. I aim to combat the messages that we all receive about our bodies and the "beauty standards" and facilitate a better relationship with one's body and with food.

JESSICA VAN DER MERWE (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC

When did we learn to hate our bodies? It's a question we explore as we process and heal the damage that has been done by society, family, or our own self-loathing. I use a Health at Every Size and Body Trust perspective to reclaim the natural wisdom and healing of the body. Whether you have struggled with food, image, or been impacted by trauma, we approach the body with a new lens that can truly turn what we thought we knew about health and wellness upside down.

Rebecca Garetz (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMHC, CYT

I work with clients on challenging the societal myths about body image, help clients feel empowered in making choices for themselves in how they want to show up in their body. I use a combination of narrative, CBT, ERP, Yoga, and art approaches.

Meredith Noble (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, Certified Body Trust® Provider

Body shame tends to impact nearly every corner of our lives—our most intimate relationships, our friendships, our work, our play. Whatever your body size, I’ll introduce you to concepts from Health At Every Size®, Body Trust®, and fat liberation, and help you replace your shame with a kind and trusting relationship with your body. I especially love supporting those in fat bodies, because we face unique challenges in the world (i.e., fatphobia, weight bias, and size-based oppression).

Caitlin Keitel (she/her)

Professional Counselor

M.A. Process Oriented Facilitation

I know we can liberate ourselves and each other from the fear-based, body-shaming beliefs and behaviors we have learned. We can learn new ways of thinking about and living in our bodies. I work to encourage us all to bring our most loving relationship values into partnership with our bodies.
