Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you someone who struggles to feel present in their body? Do you feel attuned to your body's cues? Are you tired of always being on a diet? Are you hoping to have a better relationship with food and movement, but unsure how to get there?
Body image struggles can feel so isolating, but you do not have to face them alone. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” your relationship with your body- it's about building insight and practical tools around your body image struggles. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, chronic illness, and more- and how ALL of these affect how you feel about your body.

Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Body image concerns can impact far more than appearance. They often influence self-worth, confidence, relationships, and daily life. Whether you struggle with negative self-talk, comparison, shame, or difficulty accepting your body, therapy can help you develop a healthier relationship with yourself rooted in self-compassion, authenticity, and respect rather than criticism.

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.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with body image, you may find yourself constantly comparing your appearance to others, focusing on perceived flaws, or feeling dissatisfied no matter what you do. You might avoid certain clothes, social situations, or intimacy because you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin. Even when others reassure you, it can be hard to truly believe or feel okay about how you look.
I help clients change not just how they think about their bodies, but how they experience themselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and challenge the distorted thought patterns that drive self-criticism and comparison. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to shift the emotional responses and internal images that keep you stuck in a negative self-view. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you step out of the struggle with appearance and reconnect with your values, confidence, and sense of self-worth.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you may already recognize that you’re being hard on yourself. What’s missing is a way to interrupt the automatic negative lens through which you see yourself and replace it with a more balanced, compassionate, and realistic perspective. Without that deeper shift, the same patterns of self-judgment continue, regardless of changes in weight, appearance, or external validation.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for something different. If you’re willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, reduce self-criticism, and develop a healthier, more confident relationship with your body.

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.

Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems (IFS) body image concerns are understood as the result of protective parts (e.g., critical or perfectionistic parts) trying to manage deeper feelings of shame, rejection, or inadequacy. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to approach these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment or avoidance. As protective parts feel understood and burdens are unburdened, clients can develop a more accepting and connected relationship with their bodies.

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.

Summit Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, ATR-BC
Body image is addressed in individual counseling and historical and present day roots are explored. It is usually a part of a larger pattern of self-esteem and use of counseling to develop a healthy relationship can help people feel improvements in terms of self-acceptance and self-awareness which can impact body image. We typically will refer out if there are eating disorder symptoms outside of our scope. There are often historical roots to body image which can safely be explored in the counseling process.
