Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Body image can influence how you feel about yourself, your relationships, your confidence, and your ability to fully engage in life. I help clients explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that shape their relationship with their bodies. Together, we work toward challenging unhelpful beliefs and thoughts, cultivating self-compassion, and building a more accepting and supportive relationship with your body. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin and engage in life with greater confidence and self-understanding.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our body image counseling services are dedicated to helping individuals develop a healthier, more positive relationship with their bodies. Recognizing the profound impact that body image can have on overall mental wellness, self-esteem, and daily functioning, we offer a compassionate, supportive setting where clients can explore their feelings about their body and work towards acceptance and self-love.
Empowering Approaches to Improving Body Image
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This strategy is fundamental in addressing the negative thought patterns that often underpin poor body image. CBT helps clients identify and critically evaluate their beliefs about their bodies, challenging and changing those that are distorted or self-defeating.
* Mindfulness Practices: Incorporating mindfulness can enhance body awareness and acceptance. Through practices such as mindful eating and body scans, clients learn to experience their body from a place of gratitude and respect, rather than judgment and criticism.
* Media Literacy Education: Our approach includes education on how media images are often manipulated and do not reflect realistic standards. Understanding this can significantly reduce feelings of inadequacy and negative comparison to others.
* Self-Esteem Enhancement: Enhancing a client's overall self-esteem is crucial in improving body image. Therapy focuses on recognizing and cultivating personal strengths and achievements, providing a more balanced and positive self-perception.
Goals of Body Image Counseling
Our primary aim is to empower individuals to see beyond societal standards and embrace their unique qualities. Counseling goals include:
* Increased Body Acceptance: Clients can achieve a greater appreciation and acceptance of their body, recognizing its capabilities and resilience rather than focusing solely on appearance.
* Reduced Impact of Negative Thoughts: Develop the ability to recognize and manage negative thoughts about one's body, replacing them with affirmations and positive self-talk.
* Improved Mental and Emotional Wellbeing: As body image improves, so often does overall mental health, leading to reduced anxiety, less depression, and more positive social interactions.
* Healthier Behaviors: With an improved body image, clients are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors for the right reasons, rather than as a punishment or compensation.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Struggling with body image can impact every part of your life—how you show up in relationships, how you move through the world, and how you feel about yourself day to day. If you’re constantly critiquing your body, comparing yourself to others, or feeling disconnected from the person you see in the mirror, you’re not alone. In therapy, we’ll explore where these beliefs come from and begin to untangle the pressures, messages, and experiences that shaped them. Together, we’ll work toward building a more compassionate relationship with your body—one grounded in respect, trust, and acceptance rather than criticism or shame.

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.
