Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
There is a strong mind-body connection and how someone thinks about their body is intertwined with self-concept, self-worth, and identity which are core issues when working on body image. Social comparison to others and the need for social recognition and approval, in particular, can lead to feelings of low self-worth, obsessive self-criticism, and unrealistic expectations and perceptions about the body. The wrong kinds of social media may perpetuate the vicious cycle. In counseling, I can work with you to build buffers against negative effects of social comparison and external messages. If you find yourself more and more dissatisfied with your body and yourself, and more anxious about your physical appearance, it may be time for counseling to evaluate the these concerns and ways to change them. I will work with you to foster a healthier body image and overall emotional and mental well-being. The social collective has cultivated unrealistic and unachievable expectations which are expressed ubiquitously, we are culturally immersed and it may take significant work to develop a healthy, realistic internal self-perception that can buffer these influences.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Body image counseling is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on assisting individuals in developing a healthier and more positive relationship with their bodies. Body image is how individuals perceive and feel about their physical appearance, such as size, shape, and overall attractiveness. A negative body image can result in emotional distress, low self-esteem, and the onset of eating disorders or other mental health issues.
Body image therapy aims not to achieve a particular ideal body shape or size but to promote self-acceptance and a positive body image regardless of physical appearance. The therapeutic process is individualized, and the therapist collaborates with the client to address his or her particular requirements and objectives.
If negative body image is significantly affecting your well-being or contributing to mental health issues, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified mental health professional with experience in body image therapy to begin the process of developing a healthier and more positive body image.

St. Petersburg has undergone rapid transformation as an arts and culture hub, attracting young creatives, LGBTQ+ residents, and a growing tech community, and therapists here frequently work with identity exploration, life transitions, and the pressures of building an unconventional career in a mid-size city. The city has a well-established LGBTQ+ community centered around the Grand Central District, and affirming therapists are well represented relative to the city's size. St. Anthony's Hospital and Bayfront Health St. Petersburg provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Many St. Pete therapists serve clients across the wider Tampa Bay area, making the region's therapeutic resources interconnected regardless of which side of the bay clients live on.
