Body Image therapists in Athens, Texas TX
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.

Body image impacts your ability to show up in the world and form close relationships with others. This type of work includes exploring how family, societal, and other systems impact your view of yourself. I also use mindfulness and other techniques to help you get connected to your body and learn self-acceptance.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in a culture that values certain body types more than others. This reality often brings feelings of shame for people of all body types that do not feel they can live up to these impossible beauty standards. Shame surrounding issues of body image lead to depression, anxiety, self harm and relational difficulties. It is my goal to help patients recognize these harmful thought processes and habits that damage self esteem and ones relationship to their own body. I believe that mitigating these beliefs and patters and lead to happier and healthier lives for those who wish to embark on the journey of body positivity.
