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.

Gracia Gimse McKinley,
MFA, ERYT-500, C-IAYT
Jungian Psychoanalyst
You have your own internal wisdom and it is trying to speak to you through your actions and reactions, habits, and symptoms. Sometimes it feels as if our lives are being run by the expectations of others. Sometimes our own symptoms seem to control us. Relationship issues, feelings of shame, meaninglessness, anxiousness and lack of purpose are some of the symptoms that may appear as a sign that something needs to change.
Jungian analysis aims to support you in understanding the unconscious patterns that have defined who you think you should be. It is my goal to support you as you gain more confidence in your own internal wisdom and accept more and more of the person you really are.
In addition to Jungian psychology, I am a student of body-oriented practices, meditation, intuitive art making, and intuitive eating. I am particularly interested in the ways in which these modalities can help us to see ourselves as we are, rather than how we think we should be, and to be as real as we possibly can be with ourselves and each other.”

Sarah Newberry Donovan,
LPCC
Mental Health Therapist
You may be feeling overwhelmed, ungrounded, and confused. Therapy can help. I believe you have the capacity to process challenging aspects of your life to become more grounded, content and fulfilled. You need a safe space to unpack and process at a pace that feels right for you and this is what I strive to provide. You will be listened to, heard, and supported as we work together to achieve your goals for wellbeing and positive connections with others in your life. We can spend our session talking, drawing, journaling, creating, music-ing, using ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) techniques, and however we find best to address the goals you want to accomplish. In my therapy practice and in my personal life I am committed to being culturally humble, anti-racist, anti-abelist, all-body positive, and an ally of the LGBTQ+ community.”
