Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Struggling with body image can feel exhausting—especially as an endurance athlete. The mirror, race photos, or even your training clothes can trigger harsh self-criticism, comparison, or a sense that your body is never “enough,” no matter how strong or capable it is. Whether it’s tied to eating disorder recovery, past trauma, performance pressure, or the constant pursuit of an ideal runner’s body, these struggles can steal joy from the sport you love and from everyday life.
In our work together, we gently explore your unique story with your body—how it developed, where the pain points are, and how to shift toward appreciation and respect. Using CBT to challenge unhelpful thoughts, ACT to build self-acceptance, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness, we focus on practical steps that honor your athletic lifestyle.
Many clients experience meaningful shifts such as:
Learning to thank their body for what it can do instead of criticizing how it looks.
Reducing body-checking, comparison, and food guilt.
Developing a kinder, more compassionate inner voice.
Rebuilding trust and a healthier relationship with their body on and off the trails.
I regularly share my free downloadable resources, including the Body Talk Activity for Improving Body Image and the Body Image Journal Prompt for Athletes, which we can review and personalize together.
You deserve to feel at home in your body—the same body that carries you through ultras, tough training blocks, and daily life. If negative body image is weighing you down, let’s work on rewriting that story so you can run (and live) with greater freedom, confidence, and strength.

I have worked with individuals, including older adolescents, experiencing symptoms synonymous with "states" of "dis-orders" including anorexia and bulimia, as well as binge-eating disorder. Efforts to reprogram distorted thoughts and images regarding perceptions, as well as retraining healthy habits and relationships with food are usually incorporated into the therapy and treatment programs.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Body image can often been a root to many other mental health concerns such as anxiety, depressiveness/isolation, relationship difficulties and eating disorders. They have often been seen as particularly harmful to women. This remains true, but is also a growing concern among men and within certain populations, such as gay men, athletes, etc. etc.

Therapist, DHS, M.S., M.ED, ASE
Body image comes up often in sex therapy and relationships (and life in general). There's lots of layers to this, messaging, narratives, trauma, health and wellness etc. Body image is very individual and personal and out journey explores the depth of what is going on.

As someone who works around sexuality one of the most common issues I confront is body image issues and Body Dismorphia. I work with many Trans people in various stages of gender transformation who have issues with truly stepping into their new gender identity, feeling comfortable in their bodies. Using both hypnosis as well as hands on work, I help them more fully embrace their new identities, love their bodies more.

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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for body image issues, low self-esteem, negative self-image, shame, and emotional struggles related to appearance, identity, and self-worth. Many individuals experiencing body image concerns struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, perfectionism, comparison, social pressure, or feelings of not being “good enough.” These challenges can affect confidence, relationships, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Body image difficulties are often connected to deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, bullying, criticism, rejection, relationship wounds, or painful life experiences that continue to shape how a person sees themselves. Social media, cultural expectations, and unrealistic standards portrayed in mainstream media can also intensify feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, and emotional distress.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to counseling, helping clients explore and heal the underlying emotional experiences contributing to negative self-image and unhealthy patterns of self-perception. Therapy focuses on helping clients move beyond shame, self-judgment, and unrealistic expectations while developing greater self-acceptance, emotional balance, confidence, and authenticity.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, mindfulness-based strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting healing. Together, you will explore past experiences, emotional triggers, relationship dynamics, and core beliefs that may be impacting your self-worth and sense of identity today.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and personalized to each client’s unique experiences and goals. Brad provides a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly process emotional pain, strengthen self-awareness, improve self-esteem, and reconnect with who they truly are beyond external pressures and unrealistic standards.
The goal of therapy is not only to reduce emotional distress, but to help clients develop a healthier relationship with themselves, create lasting emotional resilience, and live with greater confidence, peace, and authenticity. Healing is possible, and you can learn to appreciate yourself for who you truly are while building a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, offering confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of home.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Body image concerns are some of the most common conversations people have in building a satisfying sexual life. Body image concerns can also deeply affect self-esteem, confidence, emotional well-being, and other relationship dynamics. Couples therapy provides a supportive space to explore the experiences, messages, and pressures that may contribute to negative self-image or self-criticism. Together, couples compassionately discuss the relationship each partner has with their body while addressing the anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or comparison that often accompany body image struggles. Through increased self-awareness and the experience of being known and accepted by their partner, people can begin to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves. When they are more intimately connected to themselves, they are also able to more deeply connect to their partner.

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.
If you're struggling with body image issues, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Reach out to us, and let’s work together toward a more positive and accepting view of your body, fostering a healthier, happier you.
