Body Freedom Book Club: Anti-Diet
Are you questioning diet culture and curious about what else is out there? You will learn about the history of our culture’s body standards, the industries that profit off our ensuing self-destruction, and the many myths present in our collective understanding of health. This is also a great fit for health care professionals looking to dismantle unhelpful biases about weight, food, and health rampant in our healthcare system. This group is welcome to all genders, but content does engage with patriarchy and may at times feel most applicable to women.

Queer Process Therapy Group
This process group is for LGBTQIA+ adults of all ages who are looking to improve relationships with themselves and others. The power of process groups lies in the unique opportunity to receive multiple perspectives, support, and feedback providing group members an opportunity to deepen their level of self-awareness and to learn how they relate to others. We accept BCBS PPO, Blue Choice, United Healthcare, Cigna, and Aetna insurances or self-pay, with limited sliding scale spots available. (For individuals clients, I accept BCBS PPO and Aetna PPO only). Co-facilitated by myself and Casey VanderStel LPC, MA, EMDR.

Body Freedom Book Club: Reclaiming Body Trust
Starts in September! This group is for people of all genders who struggle in their relationship with their body, whether you are seeking extra support in eating disorder recovery, or trying to intervene on years of diet mentality. This book takes a social justice approach to understanding how our body acceptance is taken from us through our culture and how we can repair the rupture. Members will also engage in practices such as reflection and mindfulness to aid embodiment.
