I'm a plus sized woman. I've been there. You eat with friends at a restaurant, and police yourself and what or how much you eat. You walk into a gym (if you make it that far!) to either lose weight or gain mass, but cannot seem to do anything because it feels like there's judgement coming from all sides. You are exasperated that people think it's OK to make remarks about being 'so skinny' or otherwise comment on your body/appearance. You hate shopping for clothes or cosmetics, or participating in activities because of how you feel about your body. Let's talk. It's so difficult to break free from societal expectations without someone on your side.

Is your relationship with your body one of judgement, shame, disconnection or control?
Are you tired of being limited by and unhappy with how you look?
We carry around our families old stories or culture's stories of our bodies so we need learn to rewrite those stories and live out different endings. You deserve a loving strong relationship with your body that allows you for more self-acceptance and peace in your life. Through a variety of tools that may include somatic work, art therapy, yoga or other modalities begin the path of returning to your body.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
Navigating the tumultuous landscape of adolescence, many teens grapple with body image concerns that can profoundly impact their self-esteem and overall well-being. Drawing upon my expertise in adolescent psychology, I have dedicated myself to providing compassionate and evidence-based treatment for teens struggling with body image issues. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychoeducation, and experiential interventions, I work collaboratively with teens to challenge negative beliefs and cultivate a more balanced and compassionate relationship with their bodies.
