Linda Schartman, MA LPC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Body image challenges manifest in many ways and affect us on every level. It is uncomfortable to talk about these experiences, so my primary focus to start is helping you find language for them. Then, we work on deconstructing unhelpful narratives and repairing our relationships with our bodies. This process is not easy and I utilize a variety of interventions.

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.

Malama Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Body image is the subjective, internal representation of one’s own physical self, not necessarily reflecting reality, but rather influenced by social media, culture, and personal experience. Society often promote negative body image that can lead to unhealthy behaviors like eating disorders. I promote positive body image which fosters self-esteem and self-worth.

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.

Eugene is home to the University of Oregon and has a strong progressive, arts-driven identity, with a notably high density of therapists relative to its population and a community that generally holds therapy in high regard. The city's significant homelessness crisis, economic inequality, and substance use challenges sit in some tension with its progressive reputation, and therapists in Eugene often work across the full spectrum of economic circumstance. Lane County Behavioral Health provides publicly funded services, while a robust private therapy sector caters to university faculty, students, healthcare workers, and the outdoor recreation and arts communities. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma, identity and life transitions, and the stresses of living in a city grappling openly with housing insecurity and addiction alongside an otherwise strong quality of life.
