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.

Dr. Alexavery Hawkins
Psychologist, PhD
I help people with body image concerns create flexibility as they heal their relationship with their body and move away from thin ideal/diet culture so they can soften their perfectionism and live a more full and joyous life. I also enjoy addressing gender dysphoria in treatment and helping clients find ways to affirm their gender identity and start to see and appreciate their true selves.

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.
