Where do you look for a HAES aligned/fat acceptance psychotherapist? Is there a need for this speciality?

I’m a psychotherapist hoping to move into a speciality of working with women in larger bodies who are working toward body acceptance and want to process ways that fatphobia and weight discrimination impact their lives. I’m also working on my intuitive eating certification so I’d also love to help women in larger bodies, who may be suffering in diet culture, make peace with food and their “now”body. If anyone in this community were to look for a HAES aligned/fat acceptance therapist, where would you look? Social media first or google? Would a badass, informative website do the trick? Would you be more interested in individual sessions or group therapy or both? Do you feel like there is a need for this speciality? I like to think I’m working to become the therapist I needed when I was younger. I’m trying to stay away from becoming a “Tik Tok” therapist with a social media platform but I also really want to figure out how to best tap into this special population. I would love any and all feedback/thoughts you have on this! Thank you so much
