Body Image therapists in Mantua, Virginia VA
Heather Wilcox, LCSW
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. 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.

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!

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
The relationship we have with our body and self-image can change over time. Comparison, feeling hyper focused on looking a certain way, and even messages you may have received growing up about your body can all go into affecting our view of self. I take a compassionate approach to understanding and helping you feel more confident (and compassionate!) with who you are on both an emotional and physical level.
