Summit Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, ATR-BC
Body image is addressed in individual counseling and historical and present day roots are explored. It is usually a part of a larger pattern of self-esteem and use of counseling to develop a healthy relationship can help people feel improvements in terms of self-acceptance and self-awareness which can impact body image. We typically will refer out if there are eating disorder symptoms outside of our scope. There are often historical roots to body image which can safely be explored in the counseling process.

LEGACY MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING SERVICES
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.

Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Body image concerns can impact far more than appearance. They often influence self-worth, confidence, relationships, and daily life. Whether you struggle with negative self-talk, comparison, shame, or difficulty accepting your body, therapy can help you develop a healthier relationship with yourself rooted in self-compassion, authenticity, and respect rather than criticism.

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.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which then leads to meaningful and lasting changes. That means we will use real experiences from your life - about body image, or anything else - to help you make sense of and overcome the difficulties related to it.
