"Training with Deb and Whitney has transformed my practice. They bring a special mix of depth, humor, and clarity to the often murky work of supporting clients on the body image journey. For any clinician looking to deepen their practice, I can't recommend the Body Image Inside Out training enough!" - Alex Smith, MSW
