Emily Rowe
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggling with body image can impact your self-esteem and well-being. I work with clients to explore the underlying beliefs that contribute to negative body image and help them develop a healthier relationship with their body. Using evidence-based therapies like CBT and ACT, we’ll focus on self-acceptance, reducing harmful comparisons, and building confidence in who you are beyond physical appearance.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Legacy Mental Health Consulting Services offers compassionate, evidence‑based support for individuals struggling with body image concerns, self‑criticism, and the emotional weight of not feeling comfortable in their own skin. We help clients explore the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that shape how they see themselves, while building healthier, more affirming ways of relating to their bodies. Through approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic insight, clients learn to challenge negative self‑talk, reduce comparison, and cultivate confidence rooted in self‑acceptance rather than appearance. Whether body image struggles stem from past experiences, social pressures, or internal expectations, we provide a safe, empowering space to heal, grow, and reconnect with a sense of worth that goes far beyond the mirror.

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.

Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems (IFS) body image concerns are understood as the result of protective parts (e.g., critical or perfectionistic parts) trying to manage deeper feelings of shame, rejection, or inadequacy. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to approach these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment or avoidance. As protective parts feel understood and burdens are unburdened, clients can develop a more accepting and connected relationship with their bodies.
