Dr. Jacqueline Bentley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Our social culture has created a nonrealistic standard for the way that we should look. However, instead of viewing these standards as unrealistic and unattainable, we continue to beat ourselves up for falling short of the way we believe we should look. I will strive to help you process through your own thoughts and feelings of body image and help to create a more realistic, and healthy perspective of yourself.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.

Marcus A. McDuffie Sr.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, BCD
I’m especially interested in helping people who struggle with body image and the challenges that can come with it, including negative self-perception, body dissatisfaction, comparison to others, feeling uncomfortable or critical of your appearance, low self-esteem, and preoccupation with weight, shape, or physical appearance. Therapy can be a safe and supportive place to explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that influence how you see and feel about your body while developing healthier ways to respond to self-criticism, comparison, and unrealistic expectations. Together, we can work toward developing greater self-acceptance, improving your relationship with your body, and building confidence that is not defined by appearance.
I also have experience with depression, anxiety, anger management, couples and family counseling, grief and loss, work and career challenges, PTSD and trauma-focused therapy, stress management, ADHD, and many other therapeutic concerns. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful and lasting change.

Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
Body image is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. It involves the way we perceive and feel about our bodies, as well as the way we believe others perceive us. Body image issues can manifest in a variety of ways, from feeling self-conscious about a specific feature to experiencing anxiety and depression related to body size and shape.
In today's society, where social media and advertising often promote unrealistic beauty standards, it can be challenging to develop a positive body image. However, learning to love and accept our bodies is essential for our overall well-being. It can help us feel more confident, improve our relationships, and enhance our overall quality of life.
Counseling and therapy can be valuable tools for addressing body image issues. Through therapy, individuals can learn to identify and challenge negative beliefs about their bodies, develop coping strategies for managing anxiety and depression, and build a more positive and accepting relationship with their bodies. By focusing on self-care, self-love, and self-compassion, individuals can learn to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
