Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Body image concerns often run much deeper than appearance, affecting self-worth, relationships, and overall emotional well-being. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore the experiences, beliefs, and messages that have shaped the way you see yourself while helping you develop greater self-acceptance and a healthier relationship with your body. Together, we'll work toward replacing self-criticism with self-compassion so you can live with greater confidence, freedom, and authenticity.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - especially women - on feeling good about who we are and the bodies we live in. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (and how they interact to impact our confidence) is an essential part of my therapy practice, and I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with body image, I take a compassionate, body-centered approach that invites curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we explore how cultural messages, early experiences, and internalized narratives have shaped the way you relate to your body. Using somatic awareness and parts work, we begin to untangle the protective strategies that may be at play and build a more respectful, connected, and empowered relationship with your body over time.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You Don’t Feel at Home in Your Body
You might spend hours thinking about food, weight, or how your body looks — yet still feel disconnected or never “enough.” Maybe you compare yourself to others, replay comments you’ve heard about your appearance, or struggle to enjoy things you love because you’re too aware of how you look doing them.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many people — especially women — carry an invisible burden of shame, guilt, and self-criticism around their bodies. What starts as “wanting to be healthier” can turn into a constant inner battle. In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you quiet those harsh inner voices and reconnect with your body in a kinder, more trusting way. You’ll learn tools to:
Challenge the perfectionistic thoughts that feed self-criticism
Understand what drives body-focused fears and anxiety
Build new habits of self-acceptance and calm
Experience genuine comfort and confidence in your skin
Our sessions blend science, mindfulness, and compassion. You’ll have weekly check-ins to track progress and brief daily exercises to practice new patterns — because real change happens between sessions.
I BELIEVE:
Your body is not a problem to fix — it’s your home, your history, and your ally.
Confidence grows when we practice kindness toward ourselves, not punishment.
Comparison steals joy, but connection restores it.
You deserve to live fully — wear the clothes you love, eat without guilt, and show up in your life as you are.
Healing becomes easier when we add a little humor and humanity along the way.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Our relationship with our body is deeply shaped by culture, family, trauma, and identity. Together we explore shame, comparison, and disconnection, helping you build a more compassionate, embodied relationship with yourself rooted in respect and agency. I am body positive and deeply respectful of the body as a source of wisdom. I bring curiosity and support of helping you to also hear the wisdom and medicine of your body.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
We are born happy in our own skin. As kids, we are curious about our bodies and enjoy exploring them. Then something goes wrong. A well-meaning parent suggests we skip dessert, and the dolls we play with are so anatomically inaccurate they would fall over if they were humans. Then we start to attend school and become more aware of the larger culture. We notice only certain types of bodies are portrayed in the media. Our peers and our social media tell us we should look a particular way. This story may sound familiar, and sadly, it’s a common one. Unfortunately, for so many of us, the dissatisfaction with our bodies starts when we are young and persists for many years, particularly if we don’t start to examine how we think. Together, through radical self-acceptance, fat positivity, and the anti-diet framework we can begin to work toward healing.

Struggling with how you view yourself? You're not alone. Our bodies change over time and those changes sometimes bring unwelcome thoughts about our appearance. Together we can work to restore a healthy self-image.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Body Image : Struggling with body image can affect far more than your appearance. You may find yourself constantly comparing yourself to others, criticizing your body, avoiding intimacy, or feeling like your worth is tied to how you look. These thoughts can impact confidence, relationships, and your ability to fully enjoy life.
As a therapist, sexologist, and embodiment practitioner, I help clients explore the emotional experiences, beliefs, and societal messages that contribute to body dissatisfaction. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-acceptance, self-compassion, and a healthier relationship with your body.
This work is about more than liking what you see in the mirror. It’s about feeling at home in your body and reclaiming the confidence to fully express yourself.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
If you feel trapped in your mirror, hating what you see no matter what you do, you are not alone. While body image problems are very common in our society, you can learn to see yourself in a positive light. If you are willing to change the way you think, you can free yourself from the bondage of your mirror and learn to treat yourself with respect and dignity.

Huntington Beach — 'Surf City USA' — cultivates a strong outdoor and athletic identity that creates particular mental health dynamics around body image, performance anxiety, and the psychological costs of a lifestyle culture that prizes youth and physical capability. The city's predominantly White, affluent coastal character contrasts with pockets of economic precarity and a substance use landscape connected to its beach culture and proximity to the broader Orange County recovery community. Hoag Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Huntington Beach and the surrounding South Orange County coastal corridor. The city's proximity to both Los Angeles and the Orange County recovery ecosystem means therapists here frequently work at the intersection of addiction, identity, and the particular stresses of competitive coastal California life.
