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.

Not only is having a negative body image difficult but if not attended to, individuals can develop Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Those with BDD struggle with similar concerns such as preoccupation with flaws and a distorted perception of their features, but they also engage in compulsive behaviors and avoid social situations due to shame and disgust. They have such a distorted view of their body that is considered extreme by others. Examples include getting a nose job to fix their nose that wasn’t “too big” in the eyes of others or having a healthy (or even below healthy) Body Mass Index (BMI) and considering themselves to be fat.
Holding a negative body image can quickly begin to affect one’s mental health. Body image issues have been linked to anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and eating disorders. It is crucial to seek professional help if you are experiencing any of these mental health concerns in addition to body image issues.
