Deb Schachter and Whitney Otto:
Deb Schachter is recognized as one of Boston's leading clinicians in the areas of body image and eating disorder recovery. She has spent her 30-year career helping people unpack their body's story and all of the wisdom it has to offer. With authenticity, curiosity and compassion, she seeks to emphasize the profound power that connection has in the healing process. Her workshops, individual and group work are all inspired by how unique the growth process is for each of us. Deb also trains other therapists and health professionals on how best to approach body image with their clients and staff. Using a language and approach that is accessible to all, Deb helps all her clients transform their relationship with their bodies with humor and mindfulness. Whitney Otto is a US world rowing champion and 2000 Olympic alternate who pivoted her skill and passion into helping individuals and teams achieve their goals through leadership development and clinical intervention. She holds a BA from Brown University, an MA in counseling psychology from Lesley University, and a Professional Coaching Certification from The Coaches Training Institute. Her clinical perspectives are informed by over a decade of experience treating eating disorders. Her inspiring and collaborative style was further honed through years of experience serving as a Master coach for physicians, elite athletes, entrepreneurs and C-Suite executives. She is the co-host of UNTRAINED, a podcast that launched in January of 2023 focusing on giving the tools and mindsets needed to help corporate executives "untrain" from toxic mindsets and perspectives that result in professional success at personal expense.
