Shannon Mick
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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for body image issues, low self-esteem, negative self-image, shame, and emotional struggles related to appearance, identity, and self-worth. Many individuals experiencing body image concerns struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, perfectionism, comparison, social pressure, or feelings of not being “good enough.” These challenges can affect confidence, relationships, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Body image difficulties are often connected to deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, bullying, criticism, rejection, relationship wounds, or painful life experiences that continue to shape how a person sees themselves. Social media, cultural expectations, and unrealistic standards portrayed in mainstream media can also intensify feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, and emotional distress.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to counseling, helping clients explore and heal the underlying emotional experiences contributing to negative self-image and unhealthy patterns of self-perception. Therapy focuses on helping clients move beyond shame, self-judgment, and unrealistic expectations while developing greater self-acceptance, emotional balance, confidence, and authenticity.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, mindfulness-based strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting healing. Together, you will explore past experiences, emotional triggers, relationship dynamics, and core beliefs that may be impacting your self-worth and sense of identity today.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and personalized to each client’s unique experiences and goals. Brad provides a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly process emotional pain, strengthen self-awareness, improve self-esteem, and reconnect with who they truly are beyond external pressures and unrealistic standards.
The goal of therapy is not only to reduce emotional distress, but to help clients develop a healthier relationship with themselves, create lasting emotional resilience, and live with greater confidence, peace, and authenticity. Healing is possible, and you can learn to appreciate yourself for who you truly are while building a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, offering confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of home.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients relate to their bodies, making body image work deeply intertwined with healing.
