A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Struggling with body image can affect so much more than how you feel when you look in the mirror. It can show up as constantly comparing yourself to other women, criticizing your appearance, avoiding photos or certain clothes, seeking reassurance, or believing you would finally feel confident if you could just change something about your body. I work with women who are tired of feeling like their worth is tied to how they look or how others perceive them. Together, we’ll explore the experiences, messages, and deeper wounds that have shaped the way you see yourself while working toward greater self-compassion, confidence, and acceptance. My goal is not to convince you to love every part of your body every day, but to help you build a relationship with yourself where your appearance no longer determines your worth.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our body image counseling services are dedicated to helping individuals develop a healthier, more positive relationship with their bodies. Recognizing the profound impact that body image can have on overall mental wellness, self-esteem, and daily functioning, we offer a compassionate, supportive setting where clients can explore their feelings about their body and work towards acceptance and self-love.
Empowering Approaches to Improving Body Image
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This strategy is fundamental in addressing the negative thought patterns that often underpin poor body image. CBT helps clients identify and critically evaluate their beliefs about their bodies, challenging and changing those that are distorted or self-defeating.
* Mindfulness Practices: Incorporating mindfulness can enhance body awareness and acceptance. Through practices such as mindful eating and body scans, clients learn to experience their body from a place of gratitude and respect, rather than judgment and criticism.
* Media Literacy Education: Our approach includes education on how media images are often manipulated and do not reflect realistic standards. Understanding this can significantly reduce feelings of inadequacy and negative comparison to others.
* Self-Esteem Enhancement: Enhancing a client's overall self-esteem is crucial in improving body image. Therapy focuses on recognizing and cultivating personal strengths and achievements, providing a more balanced and positive self-perception.
Goals of Body Image Counseling
Our primary aim is to empower individuals to see beyond societal standards and embrace their unique qualities. Counseling goals include:
* Increased Body Acceptance: Clients can achieve a greater appreciation and acceptance of their body, recognizing its capabilities and resilience rather than focusing solely on appearance.
* Reduced Impact of Negative Thoughts: Develop the ability to recognize and manage negative thoughts about one's body, replacing them with affirmations and positive self-talk.
* Improved Mental and Emotional Wellbeing: As body image improves, so often does overall mental health, leading to reduced anxiety, less depression, and more positive social interactions.
* Healthier Behaviors: With an improved body image, clients are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors for the right reasons, rather than as a punishment or compensation.
If you're struggling with body image issues, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Reach out to us, and let’s work together toward a more positive and accepting view of your body, fostering a healthier, happier you.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
Struggling with body image goes so much deeper than how you look in the mirror — it touches how you move through the world, how you relate to others, and how worthy of care you feel. I work from a trauma-informed, weight-inclusive lens to help clients explore the roots of their relationship with their body and begin building something that feels more like peace than war. You deserve to feel at home in your own skin.
