Couples Therapy for You and Your Body Image

”The longest relationship you’ll ever have is with your body.”

— Anna Sweeney

The BodySelf is a groundbreaking approach to working with negative body image; not one created by scientists studying survey results, but by two therapists using their friendship to heal their own body image challenges. Whitney and Deb share these powerful strategies through their popular BodySelf Workshops. The profound impact of The BodySelf approach is the inspiration for their book being published by Sheldon Press in the Fall of 2024.

What our clients are saying

Although my behaviors and very loud ED brain have drastically changed during this time, my negative body image stuck. Accepting my body as it was, is, and will be, felt like an impossible task. Deb and Whit's BodySelf Workshops sparked hope that I could not only develop a neutral, but perhaps (one day), positive understanding of my body! They led with care and self-energy, giving space to whatever arose and making the group feel like we had known one another for years. I felt seen and heard, but more importantly, I left with a deep desire to explore what makes me feel good. I cried relieved, cathartic tears on my long journey home. The freedom to put on a pair of jeans and say, "Nah, not for today," to know - and believe - that fat is not a feeling, and to choose a wedding jumpsuit because it's fucking cool, not because it is "flattering": It's been the greatest gift.

Deb and Whitney bring warmth, connection, and humor to everything they create. Their body image workshops gave me much-needed opportunities to be vulnerable, discover and nurture my own inner wisdom, and feel support from others who "get" the body image journey. There's a magic to their ability to bring people together, tune into our needs, and translate what can feel like such messy, hard concepts. They helped me shift from, "why can't I feel at peace in my body?" into opportunities to be curious and compassionate. I have learned so much, and healed even more, because of them.

Deb and Whitney’s workshops take learning, introspection, and collaboration to an entirely new level. They humanize the experience, putting all participants at ease, and most importantly, are open to what are not easy topics to delve into even more deeply. Their expertise, warmth, humor and kindness are present at every step, making us all feel safe and able to advance our very important and personal journeys to wellness.
