Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with body image concerns, I help clients explore the deeper thoughts, emotions, and experiences that shape how they relate to their bodies. Together we bring curiosity and compassion to patterns of self-criticism while reconnecting with the body as a source of awareness rather than judgment. Through mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and supportive exploration, clients often begin to develop a more balanced, respectful, and caring relationship with themselves.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who struggle with body image, body dissatisfaction, self-criticism, or feeling disconnected from their bodies. Together, we explore the deeper beliefs and experiences that may have shaped the way you see and relate to your body, including messages about worth, appearance, acceptance, and belonging. My work helps clients move away from shame, judgment, and the belief that their bodies must look a certain way to be worthy, lovable, or enough. Through a compassionate, somatic, and trauma-informed approach, I help clients develop a safer, more accepting relationship with their bodies and reconnect with their inherent worth beyond appearance.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
If a person has a negative view of their body image, it usually stems from negative experiences where a child was made to feel unloved or unsafe around others, if they were the target of some negative judgment, abuse, or trauma. If a belief was formed that they were not good enough/ pretty enough/ perfect enough/ big enough/ safe enough, or felt they had to comply with abuse from a caregiver whom they depended on, or they feel too different compared to others, it affects the way they see themselves and impacts their ability to connect with other people in a healthy way. An example of another such belief can look like "I want to feel/ look attractive, but attractive people get abused/ assaulted". Rapid Transformational Therapy is incredibly effective at helping a person see how those beliefs of poor body/ self-image were trying to help them or protect them. They can then be compassionately released, and new beliefs of empowerment and acceptance created in their place. RTT specializes in transforming people with complete self-acceptance, as that is often the root of so many issues. Ongoing support is given after the session to provide further help.

Columbia is South Carolina's state capital and home to the University of South Carolina, creating a city with a significant student population, major public health infrastructure, and the complex racial and political dynamics of a Deep South capital navigating its Confederate history and ongoing racial equity challenges. Fort Jackson, the US Army's largest initial entry training post, is located in Columbia and brings a significant military population whose mental health needs—particularly around transition and trauma—are an important part of the local care landscape. Prisma Health provides behavioral health services to the community, and a private therapy sector serves the city's mix of students, government workers, and military families. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, military and veteran transition, race and identity in a historically complex Southern capital, anxiety, depression, and the political stress of living in a contentious state capital environment.
