About our

Trust Specialists

Meet a multidisciplinary group of professionals who have spent a minimum of 12 months training with us.

If you do not find someone in your area, many of our specialists offer support via video conference or phone.

A note about
our directory

The voices and experiences of Black, Indigenous and People of Color, gender variant folks, fat folks, and/or people with disabilities have been absent and minimized in the eating disorder, healthcare, and wellness-related professions.

Therefore, we are working hard to draw an increasingly diverse group of people to be part of our Body Trust Provider Community.

To include providers who are often excluded or unable to participate in trainings such as ours, we offer equity-pricing and additionally have 10 low or no cost spots in every cohort.

Nutritional Therapist

“Food can fuel your body and feed your soul. It also brings people and cultures together. Your relationship to food, your body and other people in your life is far more important than the nutrients you consume. Every individual deserves a peaceful relationship with food and body trust. Body trust is a birthright!”

Registered Dietitian/Nutrition Therapist

“In a world that often promises quick fixes, I emphasize the value of a thoughtful, patient approach to your health. My role is to partner with you, helping you draw on your own internal wisdom and lived experience to achieve your goals whether that’s improving your digestion, finding peace with food, or enhancing your overall well-being. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on sustainable and meaningful change.

I employ a warm, empathetic approach in session, often infused with humor when appropriate. My goal is to create a space where every body feels safe, seen, and heard. I often draw connections between our struggles and broader systemic forces like white supremacy culture and capitalism, which can impact our well-being in subtle yet profound ways.”

Clinical Social Worker/Therapist

“We are not meant to do the work of liberation and healing alone. We need community, co-conspirators, people who can “listen us into voice,” as we learn to tell our truest stories, and who celebrate the joy of our fullest selves. Then, transformation is possible.”

Licensed Dietitian

“I don’t have the answer for what is “best” for you but can offer tools and informed perspective to assist in accessing context so your decisions feel grounded rather than pressured.

Humor is often a skill that I employ. I acknowledge the opportunities for harm when something doesn’t “land”. My goal is to foster a space where folks feel comfortable asking for clarification if or when there are questions.”

Mental Health Counselor

“Hi! I’m Sheena, a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Massachusetts. I work with individual young adult and adult clients via telehealth. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) myself, I specialize in working with other HSPs (wondering if you might be highly sensitive? Take the self-assessment). Together, we’ll identify your distinct strengths that can be used to manage the challenges that can come with being highly sensitive (including overwhelm, sensory sensitivities, and irritability). As a member of the queer community, it has been important and fulfilling to me to support LGBTQ+ clients throughout my career. For some clients, their gender identity and sexual orientation is a major part of our work together. For others, it’s reassuring to know they’re working with a supportive, affirming therapist. I am a Certified Body Trust® Provider, meaning I help clients work on their relationship with food and themselves from a weight-inclusive, health-at-every-size stance. Additional areas of focus include anxiety, grief, stress management, self-care, and relationships.”

Other things to share…

“I bring empathy and curiosity into my work as a therapist. I aim to honor the wide spectrum and intersectionality of different cultures, neurotypes, sexuality, and gender of my clients, though I know there is always more for me to learn. I pull from different modalities to meet your unique needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and internal family systems (IFS). I am trauma- and neurodiverse-informed.

I believe the answers you seek are within you and I am here as a support and guide on your path toward growth, healing, and wellness. I love to use humor in sessions when appropriate. I take a balanced, gentle approach by supporting you to process how you’re feeling and what you’ve experienced. I also think it’s useful for you to learn skills and take action steps in and between sessions to support the change you’re seeking. I am truly honored to be welcomed into your inner world.”
