Many of my clients have issues related to their trauma that manifest in how they feel about their bodies and see themselves. Many have body dysmorphia or have a history of disordered eating.

We explore the emotional stories and relational experiences that shape how clients see and speak to their bodies. Our work aims to replace criticism with compassion and reconnect clients to a sense of worth beyond appearance. Healing becomes possible when the body is treated as an ally, not an enemy.

Heinig Health and Wellness Counseling
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, M.S. Health Psychology, M.A. Clinical Psychology, PSYPACT Providers
We provide support for body image concerns that focuses on helping individuals develop a healthier, more balanced relationship with their bodies and themselves. Through a compassionate and evidence-based approach, treatment addresses negative self-perceptions, self-esteem challenges, body dissatisfaction, and the impact of social or cultural pressures. Clients learn strategies to cultivate self-acceptance, improve confidence, and build a more positive sense of self while supporting overall emotional well-being.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Body image can often been a root to many other mental health concerns such as anxiety, depressiveness/isolation, relationship difficulties and eating disorders. They have often been seen as particularly harmful to women. This remains true, but is also a growing concern among men and within certain populations, such as gay men, athletes, etc. etc.

Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Struggling with body image can feel exhausting—especially as an endurance athlete. The mirror, race photos, or even your training clothes can trigger harsh self-criticism, comparison, or a sense that your body is never “enough,” no matter how strong or capable it is. Whether it’s tied to eating disorder recovery, past trauma, performance pressure, or the constant pursuit of an ideal runner’s body, these struggles can steal joy from the sport you love and from everyday life.
In our work together, we gently explore your unique story with your body—how it developed, where the pain points are, and how to shift toward appreciation and respect. Using CBT to challenge unhelpful thoughts, ACT to build self-acceptance, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness, we focus on practical steps that honor your athletic lifestyle.
Many clients experience meaningful shifts such as:
Learning to thank their body for what it can do instead of criticizing how it looks.
Reducing body-checking, comparison, and food guilt.
Developing a kinder, more compassionate inner voice.
Rebuilding trust and a healthier relationship with their body on and off the trails.
I regularly share my free downloadable resources, including the Body Talk Activity for Improving Body Image and the Body Image Journal Prompt for Athletes, which we can review and personalize together.
You deserve to feel at home in your body—the same body that carries you through ultras, tough training blocks, and daily life. If negative body image is weighing you down, let’s work on rewriting that story so you can run (and live) with greater freedom, confidence, and strength.
