Levana Slabodnick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW-S, LCSW
We do not live in a society that allows us to accept our bodies as they are. We receive message from a young age from parents, friends and media about how we are supposed to look and what it means if we don't look that way. The truth is that you only have one body and there is only so much you can do to control how it looks. Many of us developed unhealthy relationships with food and exercise to change our appearance and are now ready to learn to acceptance our bodies as they are. If you are looking for support to acceptance your body and pursue physical and mental health without trying to lose weight, I offer weight neutral therapy.

Linardi Therapy Services
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT)
Body image therapy helps individuals heal from shame, dissatisfaction, and disordered eating by cultivating a compassionate, neutral, or positive relationship with their physical self. Specialized therapists utilize CBT, SFBT and,ACT,, to help clients move from body hatred toward body neutrality, focusing on body functionality rather than just appearance.
- Compassionate & Body-Positive (Focus on healing): This approach helps clients stop body-checking, comparison, and shame. It aims to foster self-compassion and build a respectful relationship with the body.
- Direct & Clinical (Focus on behavior change): This approach uses CBT to treat body dysmorphia, chronic dieting, and body image disturbance. The goal is to move from dissatisfaction to body neutrality.
- Holistic & Inclusive (Focus on intersectionality): This approach provides a safe space to explore how racial, gender, and weight-based stigma have impacted self-worth. It helps individuals reconnect with their bodies.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Lots of people don’t like their bodies. Maybe abuse or neglect created dissociation, an eating disorder or depression. Body distortions can happen for a variety of reasons, each needing a somewhat different approach. I’m also an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist.
