Jessica Elwart-Konkel, therapist

Therapy that meets you where you are

Jessica Elwart Therapy is a creative arts therapy practice rooted in a fat-liberating, anti-diet approach. We use drama therapy—movement, metaphor, storytelling, play—to help you reconnect with a body that may feel unfamiliar, frustrating, or unsafe.

We work with bodies that are changing, aging, transitioning, and recovering — and the complicated relationships with food, feelings, and self-image that come with it.

Based in NYC. Telehealth available.

How it works

1

Let’s talk

Book a free 30-minute virtual consultation. We take more time than most because you can’t get a real sense of fit in a rushed phone call.

2

Make a plan

We’ll figure out what’s going on together and build a plan that doesn’t suck.

3

Do the work

Through creativity, honesty, and the occasional puppet.

Out of network? Many of our clients get 50–80% reimbursed through Mentaya.

Your body already knows the way back.

Drama therapy for when your relationship with your body, food, or self feels stuck. You don’t have to have it figured out to start.

Book a free consultation or reach out with questions. No pressure, no commitment.
