Body Image therapists in Middletown, Connecticut CT
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.

Are you unhappy with what you see in the mirror? Do you immediately notice flaws – a nose you wish was smaller, a stomach you wish was flatter, legs you wish were longer or capable of running faster? The thoughts and feelings that you have about your physical appearance are the focus of body image research. Getting comfortable in your own skin can be hard work, but it is truly worth it to put in the work necessary to loving yourself inside and out. Let me guide you through this journey because your worth is not in your weight.

Body image concerns are very common and my approach includes an emphasis on highlighting societal impacts as well as personal beliefs about body and a client's relationship to their body. I utilize some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles with a focus on improving a client's relationship with their body, exploring emotional factors that contribute to dissatisfaction and healing one's relationship with their body.
