Body Image
You might be struggling with Body image Disorder
It is difficult to fully live when we feel at odds with our own body. But you don’t have to keep living this way! I have worked with hundreds of teenagers and adults during my career and helped them change their relationship with their body to allow for a fuller, happier life.
Body Image Therapy:
Therapy for body image focuses on helping individuals understand and improve their relationship with their bodies. Body image is more than just a mental picture of how we look; it encompasses our perceptions, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and actions related to our appearance. Many factors, such as past relationships, family roles, and cultural and media influences, can impact our body image.
Addressing body image issues is crucial because living with a negative body image decreases the quality of life. It’s challenging to feel positive about yourself when you don’t like the body you’re in. Having a positive body image doesn’t mean you always feel great about every part of your physical self all the time. Instead, it means that most of the time, you feel good about how you look, see yourself accurately, and feel comfortable in your body. Your appearance doesn’t dictate your self-confidence or mood.
Improving body image is vital for overall mental and emotional well-being. It allows individuals to engage in life more fully, participate in activities they enjoy, and develop a healthier and more positive sense of self.
Clients benefit from the combination of evidence-based treatment approaches in my work including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) , Family Systems and Family Behavioral Therapy (FBT). My work is informed and influenced by Health At Every Size literature and research. Treatment also heals depression, anxiety, perfectionism and other forms of psychological distress that often co-occur with body image issues. Treatment leads to overall improvement in emotional, physical and psychological well-being.
I provide a comprehensive and personalized therapy experience that addresses the root causes of body image issues and supports lasting change. My goal is to help you transform your relationship with your body from one of struggle and defeat to one of acceptance and peace.
