Body Image therapists in Port Charlotte, Florida FL
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.

Earlyn Sharpe
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.Ed, MHCP, NLP, ND
Body image concerns can significantly impact mental health and overall well-being. As a counsellor and coach, I specialize in supporting individuals who struggle with body image issues, including body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and low self-esteem related to appearance.
Together, we explore underlying beliefs and emotions surrounding body image, challenge negative self-talk, and develop healthier perspectives towards oneself and one's body.
My approach emphasizes self-compassion, acceptance, and empowerment, helping clients cultivate a more positive relationship with their bodies and foster greater self-confidence and self-worth. Through compassionate and personalized therapy, I aim to assist individuals in embracing their unique selves and achieving greater peace and contentment with their bodies.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Especially in my work with transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) community, body image is often in context to what we are processing. Body image work can look a variety of ways, such as deconstructing and healing internalizations of fat phobia, transphobia, and European body ideals. I like to make it clear - I am a firm believer in the Healthy at Every Size movement and we can utilize this space to find a path towards connecting your mind and your authentic and congruent body.
