Body Image therapists in Kimberley, British Columbia BC, Canada CA
Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a nurturing and non-judgmental space for clients struggling with body image concerns, employing a holistic approach that combines various therapeutic tools to address each person's unique experience. Through Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, we delve into the roots of body image issues, working together to shift perceptions and foster a healthier relationship with oneself. This process is about more than just addressing concerns with appearance; it's about understanding and transforming the way one feels about their body at a deeper level. By integrating these strategies, I support clients in developing self-compassion, improving self-esteem, and embracing a more positive body image. My role is to guide and empower you through this journey of self-discovery and acceptance, providing the tools and encouragement needed to cultivate a more loving and accepting view of your body.

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.

Body image runs wild through our society. It has no malice or bias, it clings to a variety of us in each our own experiences. So what is it? How to overcome it? Is it about overcoming it? What is it trying to tell us?
I have run many workshops in this area as well as studied extensively with clients as to what is underneath it all for them. I'm also a fellow body image impacted person. I'm here, I'm with you, I see the path and light. Let's find yours.

I believe the path to healing body image issues involves understanding the root of how our current relationship with our bodies developed, as well as setting a new foundation based in a new narrative about our bodies that is firmly planted in acceptance and values-based self-knowledge, self-care, enhanced self-esteem, and loving kindness.
