Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Body image concerns can show up as constant self-criticism, comparison, dissatisfaction with your appearance, or feeling disconnected from your body. These struggles often affect confidence, mood, relationships, and overall sense of self-worth.
I provide therapy for body image issues to help you explore the deeper patterns beneath these thoughts and feelings, including the emotional and nervous system responses that keep them in place. Together, we’ll work to understand where these beliefs come from and how they impact your day-to-day experience.
The focus is on developing a more compassionate and grounded relationship with your body, reducing self-judgment, and supporting a greater sense of acceptance, ease, and internal stability.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
As my clinical research has been focused on how to improve our relationship to our bodies, I work with individuals seeking to reconnect with their bodies through compassion and curiosity rather than control. My approach invites exploration of how cultural, relational, and internalized messages shape self-perception, fostering greater self-acceptance and shifting form objectification to embodiment.

When You Don’t Feel at Home in Your Body
You might spend hours thinking about food, weight, or how your body looks — yet still feel disconnected or never “enough.” Maybe you compare yourself to others, replay comments you’ve heard about your appearance, or struggle to enjoy things you love because you’re too aware of how you look doing them.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many people — especially women — carry an invisible burden of shame, guilt, and self-criticism around their bodies. What starts as “wanting to be healthier” can turn into a constant inner battle. In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you quiet those harsh inner voices and reconnect with your body in a kinder, more trusting way. You’ll learn tools to:
Challenge the perfectionistic thoughts that feed self-criticism
Understand what drives body-focused fears and anxiety
Build new habits of self-acceptance and calm
Experience genuine comfort and confidence in your skin
Our sessions blend science, mindfulness, and compassion. You’ll have weekly check-ins to track progress and brief daily exercises to practice new patterns — because real change happens between sessions.
I BELIEVE:
Your body is not a problem to fix — it’s your home, your history, and your ally.
Confidence grows when we practice kindness toward ourselves, not punishment.
Comparison steals joy, but connection restores it.
You deserve to live fully — wear the clothes you love, eat without guilt, and show up in your life as you are.
Healing becomes easier when we add a little humor and humanity along the way.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.
