Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people struggle with body image because of the messages they have received from family, peers, culture, and social media about how they "should" look. In therapy, we'll explore how these experiences have shaped the way you view yourself and work toward developing a more compassionate and accepting relationship with your body. Together, we'll also examine your relationship with food and identify sustainable, balanced approaches that support both your physical and emotional well-being, helping to reduce the self-criticism and distress that often accompany body image concerns.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Body image concerns are often rooted in early relational experience and internalized emotional patterns. My work integrates psychoanalytic thinking, clinical sexology, and somatic awareness to support a more compassionate and embodied relationship with the body. This process helps patients reconnect with their sense of self beyond shame and self-judgment.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our body image counseling services are dedicated to helping individuals develop a healthier, more positive relationship with their bodies. Recognizing the profound impact that body image can have on overall mental wellness, self-esteem, and daily functioning, we offer a compassionate, supportive setting where clients can explore their feelings about their body and work towards acceptance and self-love.
Empowering Approaches to Improving Body Image
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This strategy is fundamental in addressing the negative thought patterns that often underpin poor body image. CBT helps clients identify and critically evaluate their beliefs about their bodies, challenging and changing those that are distorted or self-defeating.
* Mindfulness Practices: Incorporating mindfulness can enhance body awareness and acceptance. Through practices such as mindful eating and body scans, clients learn to experience their body from a place of gratitude and respect, rather than judgment and criticism.
* Media Literacy Education: Our approach includes education on how media images are often manipulated and do not reflect realistic standards. Understanding this can significantly reduce feelings of inadequacy and negative comparison to others.
* Self-Esteem Enhancement: Enhancing a client's overall self-esteem is crucial in improving body image. Therapy focuses on recognizing and cultivating personal strengths and achievements, providing a more balanced and positive self-perception.
Goals of Body Image Counseling
Our primary aim is to empower individuals to see beyond societal standards and embrace their unique qualities. Counseling goals include:
* Increased Body Acceptance: Clients can achieve a greater appreciation and acceptance of their body, recognizing its capabilities and resilience rather than focusing solely on appearance.
* Reduced Impact of Negative Thoughts: Develop the ability to recognize and manage negative thoughts about one's body, replacing them with affirmations and positive self-talk.
* Improved Mental and Emotional Wellbeing: As body image improves, so often does overall mental health, leading to reduced anxiety, less depression, and more positive social interactions.
* Healthier Behaviors: With an improved body image, clients are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors for the right reasons, rather than as a punishment or compensation.

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.

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.

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.
