Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Body image issues and body image struggles are a complex and also very common phenomenon. They occur across all gender lines though women tend to talk most openly about these struggles, which have sometimes existed since childhood. My approach is to begin with curiosity ( and helping you to build your curiosity) which can then facilitate an exploration of the meanings that body preoccupation can hold. Opening up awareness about these issues often is really fruitful and can be helpful in the long term in providing some emotional and psychological freedom.

Julie Harris
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
I help people who struggle with body image, concerns about appearance, weight, and their relationship with food to feel more comfortable in their own skin. With curiosity and compassion we can listen to the parts of you that are critical or uncomfortable, understand what they’re really trying to tell you, and find a way forward that feels more manageable and less at war with yourself.

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
