Dr. Amana Carvalho
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In therapy, clients can overcome negative body image by learning to challenge negative thoughts, promote self-acceptance, and build a healthier relationship with one’s body. Therapy addresses underlying emotional factors like low self-esteem or trauma. I also teach coping strategies to reduce comparison, shame, and disordered behaviors.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Body image counseling is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on assisting individuals in developing a healthier and more positive relationship with their bodies. Body image is how individuals perceive and feel about their physical appearance, such as size, shape, and overall attractiveness. A negative body image can result in emotional distress, low self-esteem, and the onset of eating disorders or other mental health issues.
Body image therapy aims not to achieve a particular ideal body shape or size but to promote self-acceptance and a positive body image regardless of physical appearance. The therapeutic process is individualized, and the therapist collaborates with the client to address his or her particular requirements and objectives.
If negative body image is significantly affecting your well-being or contributing to mental health issues, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified mental health professional with experience in body image therapy to begin the process of developing a healthier and more positive body image.

Pharion Counseling, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
Self-esteem and self-confidence is an ongoing process in life. I believe that positive body image is completely intertwined in the self. I want to come alongside my clients and help them raise their confidence. When their confidence is up, their body image becomes positive. If the client wishes to change their body, then positive plans and steps are developed to help them along that path.
8 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH Ohio
Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health System and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
