Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
There is a strong mind-body connection and how someone thinks about their body is intertwined with self-concept, self-worth, and identity which are core issues when working on body image. Social comparison to others and the need for social recognition and approval, in particular, can lead to feelings of low self-worth, obsessive self-criticism, and unrealistic expectations and perceptions about the body. The wrong kinds of social media may perpetuate the vicious cycle. In counseling, I can work with you to build buffers against negative effects of social comparison and external messages. If you find yourself more and more dissatisfied with your body and yourself, and more anxious about your physical appearance, it may be time for counseling to evaluate the these concerns and ways to change them. I will work with you to foster a healthier body image and overall emotional and mental well-being. The social collective has cultivated unrealistic and unachievable expectations which are expressed ubiquitously, we are culturally immersed and it may take significant work to develop a healthy, realistic internal self-perception that can buffer these influences.

Diet culture has permeated our ideals and expectations of ourselves and most particularly can inform the relationships with have with food and movement. I work with clients from a HAES and intuitive understanding of how to embrace our bodies, how support out bodies to rest and replenish adaptively and how to frame nourishment and movement as affirming rather than punitive.

Linardi Therapy Services
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT)
Body image therapy helps individuals heal from shame, dissatisfaction, and disordered eating by cultivating a compassionate, neutral, or positive relationship with their physical self. Specialized therapists utilize CBT, SFBT and,ACT,, to help clients move from body hatred toward body neutrality, focusing on body functionality rather than just appearance.
- Compassionate & Body-Positive (Focus on healing): This approach helps clients stop body-checking, comparison, and shame. It aims to foster self-compassion and build a respectful relationship with the body.
- Direct & Clinical (Focus on behavior change): This approach uses CBT to treat body dysmorphia, chronic dieting, and body image disturbance. The goal is to move from dissatisfaction to body neutrality.
- Holistic & Inclusive (Focus on intersectionality): This approach provides a safe space to explore how racial, gender, and weight-based stigma have impacted self-worth. It helps individuals reconnect with their bodies.

Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
We do not live in a society that allows us to accept our bodies as they are. We receive message from a young age from parents, friends and media about how we are supposed to look and what it means if we don't look that way. The truth is that you only have one body and there is only so much you can do to control how it looks. Many of us developed unhealthy relationships with food and exercise to change our appearance and are now ready to learn to acceptance our bodies as they are. If you are looking for support to acceptance your body and pursue physical and mental health without trying to lose weight, I offer weight neutral therapy.

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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggles with body image are often tied to shame, trauma, and the pressures of diet culture. In addition to IFS and mindfulness, I draw on specialized training in Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, and Body Trust approaches. These frameworks recognize how dieting and cultural messages can fuel disordered eating patterns such as restriction, bingeing, or cycles of shame. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion, reconnecting with body wisdom, and creating a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and self. I provide diagnostic clarity when body image concerns overlap with eating disorders, depression, or trauma.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
If you’re constantly at war with your reflection or caught in a cycle of self-criticism, you’re not alone. We live in a world full of unrealistic standards and loud opinions about how we should look—and it can take a real toll on how we feel in our own skin.
I work with clients to untangle their relationship with their bodies using compassion-based therapy, mindfulness practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work. My approach isn’t about “fixing” your body—it’s about healing how you relate to it. We’ll explore where the harsh inner voice came from, learn to quiet it, and reconnect you with the values and experiences that matter far more than a number on a scale or the shape of a mirror image.
As a long-time psychologist (and a human in this culture too), I know that body image struggles are deeply personal—and deeply valid. I bring humor, warmth, and evidence-based tools to help you move toward body respect, self-compassion, and a healthier, more peaceful relationship with yourself.
You deserve to feel at home in your body—and I’d be honored to help you find your way back there.

Here's a concise therapist-directory version:
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies. Many individuals struggle with body dissatisfaction, negative self-talk, appearance-related anxiety, emotional eating, perfectionism, or the impact of societal and cultural pressures. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, improve self-esteem, cultivate body acceptance, and focus on overall well-being rather than appearance. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, empowered, and at peace in their own skin.

Jacksonville is home to one of the largest U.S. Navy installations in the country, making it a city with outsized demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, deployment-related adjustment, and military family dynamics. The city's sprawling geography and car-dependent layout can contribute to social isolation, and therapists here frequently address loneliness, relationship issues, and depression tied to the challenges of building community in a dispersed city. Baptist Health and UF Health Jacksonville provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Many Jacksonville therapists offer telehealth to reach clients spread across Duval County's wide geography.
