Eating Disorder & Body Image Therapy
In Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Virtual therapy for teens and adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, eating disorders, and relationship with food and body.
Welcome! My name is Naya Schere (she/her)
LICENSED INDEPENDENT CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER IN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND FOCUSING ON WHOLE-PERSON WELLNESS
You don’t have to carry everything on your own. Therapy is meant to be a collaborative space where you can work toward meaningful change.
I specialize in working with teens and adults who feel stuck in overthinking and find themselves under the pressure to feel “good enough.” Many of the people I see are navigating eating disorders, anxiety, and complicated relationships with their bodies. Together, we’ll slow things down and explore what is keeping you stuck in these patterns while building greater self-awareness and sustainable change over time.
I practice from a body-positive, Health at Every Size (HAES) lens with the goal of creating a space where you can come as you are. I am intentional about providing a virtual space that honors your unique identity and lived experience.
Outside of sessions, I enjoy trail walking with my dog and getting my hands into the creative project that speaks to me that day.
