Body Image Support Group: Part 1

We will be running our Body Image Support Group again starting February 18th. This group will run Tuesdays virtually from 5-6pm for 12 weeks. This group is intended for any and all individuals struggling with body image concerns as a result of systemic and sociocultural factors including but not limited to diet culture. This group will be led by Advanced Placement Social Worker, Lexi Mulkusak, and Licensed Professional Counselor-In Training, Edna Dawit. Lexi specializes in providing eating disorder,  anxiety-based, and some trauma treatments for adult clients. Edna is training to provide eating disorder treatment as well as exposure response prevention. She also specializes in treating anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, ADHD, identity development, adoption, and trauma (sexual abuse and assault, physical abuse, racial, community violence).

This group uses the workbook created by Rachel Sellers and Mimi Cole to deconstruct diet culture, learn how to respect, nourish, and care for the whole self. Members will work with co-facilitators to extinguish body shame and move towards body acceptance and kindness. Members are encouraged but not required to have a copy of A Body Image Workbook for Every Body by Rachel Sellers and Mimi Cole. Co-facilitators will provide handouts to those who do not have access to the book.  The group provides practical skills to use in your everyday life, supplemental materials, peer support, etc.

Cost: $75/session.  This cost is not necessarily your out of pocket expenses after processed with insurance. There is a $75 deposit to attend the group that is fully refundable with completion of the group or with drop out prior to the 2nd session. Insurances accepted: Dean, Quartz, GHC, Aetna, Multiplan, Optum/United Healthcare, Evernorth, Cigna, Health Partners of MN, The Alliance, SHIP, UMR. If you do not have any of these insurances, you would be responsible for paying out-of-pocket. Please verify with your insurance that you have coverage to attend groups using the billing code 90853.
