Body Image therapists in Alexandria, Virginia VA
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Especially in my work with transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) community, body image is often in context to what we are processing. Body image work can look a variety of ways, such as deconstructing and healing internalizations of fat phobia, transphobia, and European body ideals. I like to make it clear - I am a firm believer in the Healthy at Every Size movement and we can utilize this space to find a path towards connecting your mind and your authentic and congruent body.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW
Due to unrealistic cultural expectations, many if not most women have times in their life when they struggle with the way they feel about their body. We work together to identify negative messages that have become internalized over the years and replace them with more realistic, positive ones.

Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
This culture today is totally messed up with regard to the importance it places on body image. I can work to help you understand where you got stuck here, and to heal it. Each person is beautiful, and what your shell looks like does not determine whether you are going to be securely loved. Come and learn what does determine that and learn to "live in your skin" what you really are in the inside!

Baumann Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Body image concerns are very common and my approach includes an emphasis on highlighting societal impacts as well as personal beliefs about body and a client's relationship to their body. I utilize some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles with a focus on improving a client's relationship with their body, exploring emotional factors that contribute to dissatisfaction and healing one's relationship with their body.
