Body image involves two key elements: a mental picture of one’s physical body (including size, shape, and appearance), and one’s attitude toward the physical self (such as thoughts, feelings and beliefs about one’s body). A negative or unhealthy body image can contribute to low self-esteem and cause persistent anxiety, which in some extreme cases can interfere with our daily living. A healthy body image means that you begin to accept the body that you have and are committed to loving and caring for your body even with the flaws. Let's work together to begin to love and celebrate our bodies.

Therapist, LCMHCA, NCC
Body image challenges speak in metaphor. Together we uncover these metaphors and the way they speak to attachment challenges and self-trust challenges. I see the body as a wise source to be listened to. As we restore your sense of self trust, body image challenges can decrease so that your life can be full of more meaningful ways to spend your time than trying to manipulate the size and shape of you. You are worthy of taking up space.

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.
