Debra Younger
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
Through an Internal Family Systems lens, how we view our Body Image, is usually a result of early childhood trauma or attachment wounds.
Using IFS we are able to identify the source of the wounds or trauma and heal them, which allows us to create a more positive Body Image.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
How you feel about your body is rarely actually about your body. It's about control, worth, safety, and the stories you've absorbed from your family, your culture, and every relationship that ever made you feel like you were too much or not enough. At Simple Empathy we work beneath the surface of body image struggles to address the deeper narrative — who told you that you weren't enough, and why did you believe them? Direct, honest and depth-oriented work for people ready to stop fighting their own reflection.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in supporting clients who struggle with body image, self-worth, and the mental performance pressures that often accompany high expectations, whether in athletics, academics, careers, or personal life. Many clients experience a constant internal dialogue of self-criticism, comparison, or feeling like their value is tied to their appearance or performance. This can lead to anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and a disconnection from their own sense of confidence and identity. Our work focuses on helping clients develop a healthier relationship with their body, strengthen self-trust, and shift from harsh self-judgment to a more grounded, supportive internal voice. Using evidence-based and performance-informed approaches, we help clients improve mental resilience, emotional regulation, and confidence so they can perform at their highest level while maintaining their well-being and sense of self.

Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Body image affects far more than how you feel when you look in a mirror. It can shape confidence, sexuality, intimacy, relationships, self-worth, and how comfortable you feel taking up space in the world. I help clients explore the messages and experiences that have shaped their relationship with their bodies, challenge shame and unrealistic expectations, and develop a more compassionate and authentic sense of embodiment. The goal isn’t to convince yourself that you must love every part of your body—it’s to help your body become a place you can live in with greater acceptance, confidence, and freedom.
