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.

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.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Body image concerns are often rooted in early relational experience and internalized emotional patterns. My work integrates psychoanalytic thinking, clinical sexology, and somatic awareness to support a more compassionate and embodied relationship with the body. This process helps patients reconnect with their sense of self beyond shame and self-judgment.
