Desiree Woehrle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SIFI
This practice is passionate about body positivity, sex positivity and healing from diet culture. Messages reinforcing hyper-alertness, worry or shame about our physical appearance, bodily health and opinion of others are hard to ignore. Avoiding the subject or pretending it isn't an issue can cause it to fester and creep deeper into our self-concept. You don't have to be 100% in love with every part of yourself, especially at first. We will begin by improving negative self-talk, releasing pressure, expectations and judgement. Stepping up self-care in ways that feel enjoyable instead of like a chore will continue until you are living your best am and pm regimen, holding space for your beautiful self, no matter where life takes you.

Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
I am experienced working with young adults struggling with body image issues such as body dysmorphia, Bulimia, Anorexia Nervosa, and being overweight. Social media can be great in many ways, however, young people today are increasingly feeling that they always have to look “camera ready!” People are judged on their instagram photos and how many “likes” they get, and this can make body image take center stage and ;therefore, cause low self-esteem.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S
Body image counseling is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on assisting individuals in developing a healthier and more positive relationship with their bodies. Body image is how individuals perceive and feel about their physical appearance, such as size, shape, and overall attractiveness. A negative body image can result in emotional distress, low self-esteem, and the onset of eating disorders or other mental health issues.
Body image therapy aims not to achieve a particular ideal body shape or size but to promote self-acceptance and a positive body image regardless of physical appearance. The therapeutic process is individualized, and the therapist collaborates with the client to address his or her particular requirements and objectives.
If negative body image is significantly affecting your well-being or contributing to mental health issues, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified mental health professional with experience in body image therapy to begin the process of developing a healthier and more positive body image.
