Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Body Image is especially a problem in young adolescents, but it sometimes persists through life. I explore how a person's body has served them well. Body image is also sometimes an issue for non-binary and trans. people and can show up as Body Dysphoria.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
Struggling with body image goes so much deeper than how you look in the mirror — it touches how you move through the world, how you relate to others, and how worthy of care you feel. I work from a trauma-informed, weight-inclusive lens to help clients explore the roots of their relationship with their body and begin building something that feels more like peace than war. You deserve to feel at home in your own skin.

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Do you spend a lot of time criticizing or worrying about your body and how you look? Are your thoughts often consumed with finding clothes that hide the parts of your body you feel are somehow "wrong" or "unacceptable?" Do you try to use food and/or exercise to control and change the shape and size of your body? Do you think that once you get down or up to "X" weight you will finally feel like you are enough?
If you are ready to learn how to make peace with your body and food, counseling can help. You want to figure out how to feel good in the body you have, but don't know where to start -- or if it's even possible. We will work together from a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework so you can redefine your relationship with your body. We will unpack the internalized and external messages that have shaped your beliefs about your body. You will learn how to hear and "trust your gut" again. You will learn how to develop a relationship with food and movement that feels like support vs. punishment. Compassion vs. judgement.
If you are ready to finally call a truce with the war on your body, then I would love to help.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
When a person’s concerns regarding their appearance become obsessive it can lead to a diagnosis of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. With this condition, an individual is beset by constant preoccupation with what they perceive as their physical flaws or defects. Symptoms can include excessive grooming, frequent mirror checking, skin picking, needing constant assurance about how they look, avoiding social situations, and in worse cases, eating disorders and suicidal thoughts. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts common in this condition, please call a mental health professional or call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeling. Anxiety, substance abuse, and physical pain from repeated surgical interventions can also be experienced. Psychotherapy is an effective approach to this condition and if medication is needed, I work with a psychiatrist who can provide what is necessary. Often, this condition begins in adolescence and long-term support may be needed into adulthood to prevent relapse. My regular free zoom workshops provide a way for potential clients to get acquainted with me and experience the effectiveness of some of my therepeutic approaches. Please feel free to call for a consultation: 301-229-8000

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients relate to their bodies, making body image work deeply intertwined with healing.
