Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I help individuals struggling with body image issues develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with themselves. Negative body image can impact self-esteem, mental health, and daily life, but it doesn’t have to define you. My approach focuses on uncovering the deeper beliefs that fuel body dissatisfaction, challenging harmful thought patterns, and fostering self-acceptance. Through mindfulness, self-compassion practices, and evidence-based techniques, I support clients in shifting from self-criticism to self-trust. You deserve to feel at home in your body—let’s work together to create a more positive and empowered sense of self.

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.

Andrea Elkon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you find yourself avoiding mirrors or scales? Or...are you constantly weighing yourself? Inspecting yourself? Dressing in ways to hide your body? Do you have rules about eating or exercise? I want to help you feel better about yourself, to calm those self-critical beliefs and feel secure in your skin. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating body image.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
