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.

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. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Especially in my work with transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) community, body image is often in context to what we are processing. Body image work can look a variety of ways, such as deconstructing and healing internalizations of fat phobia, transphobia, and European body ideals. I like to make it clear - I am a firm believer in the Healthy at Every Size movement and we can utilize this space to find a path towards connecting your mind and your authentic and congruent body.

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.

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.
