Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Living under the pressures of diet culture and social media can severely fracture your relationship with your physical self. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parts of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) frameworks, I help individuals challenge deep-seated, unrealistic appearance standards and self-critical thought distortions. Together, we unpack the family, cultural, and societal origins of these beliefs, working to replace avoidance behaviors and body-checking habits with sustainable self-compassion, resilience, and body neutrality.

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.

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.

NewBirth Counseling & Wellness Group LLC
Professional Christian Counselor, Certified Christian Counselor, Certified Life Coach & Consultant with a PhD in Psychology
The embodied self is a psychospiritual concept that hosts existential questions of “Who am I? What am I? Where does my value lay?” Our relationship with our bodies can be fraught with neglect and dissociation as we learn to ignore the many messages it sends to us. The embodied self can be experienced in a positive or negative manner, and it is strongly related to self-esteem, self-image, and one’s satisfaction with personal and sexual intimacy. A positive sense of an embodied self is associated with autonomy, functionality, joy and fulfillment. However, chronic illness, disability and accidents, and negative social sanctions can result in a sense of disembodiment. Call our office for more detailed information.

Body image issues may or may not be related to an eating disorder...or disordered eating. Emotional eating. As we work through shame, regrets, and a sense of low self-esteem, the body image will most likely improve.

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.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in a culture that values certain body types more than others. This reality often brings feelings of shame for people of all body types that do not feel they can live up to these impossible beauty standards. Shame surrounding issues of body image lead to depression, anxiety, self harm and relational difficulties. It is my goal to help patients recognize these harmful thought processes and habits that damage self esteem and ones relationship to their own body. I believe that mitigating these beliefs and patters and lead to happier and healthier lives for those who wish to embark on the journey of body positivity.

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.

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
