Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems (IFS) body image concerns are understood as the result of protective parts (e.g., critical or perfectionistic parts) trying to manage deeper feelings of shame, rejection, or inadequacy. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to approach these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment or avoidance. As protective parts feel understood and burdens are unburdened, clients can develop a more accepting and connected relationship with their bodies.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with body image, you may find yourself constantly comparing your appearance to others, focusing on perceived flaws, or feeling dissatisfied no matter what you do. You might avoid certain clothes, social situations, or intimacy because you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin. Even when others reassure you, it can be hard to truly believe or feel okay about how you look.
I help clients change not just how they think about their bodies, but how they experience themselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and challenge the distorted thought patterns that drive self-criticism and comparison. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to shift the emotional responses and internal images that keep you stuck in a negative self-view. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you step out of the struggle with appearance and reconnect with your values, confidence, and sense of self-worth.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you may already recognize that you’re being hard on yourself. What’s missing is a way to interrupt the automatic negative lens through which you see yourself and replace it with a more balanced, compassionate, and realistic perspective. Without that deeper shift, the same patterns of self-judgment continue, regardless of changes in weight, appearance, or external validation.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for something different. If you’re willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, reduce self-criticism, and develop a healthier, more confident relationship with your body.

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.
