Registered Psychotherapist
Often my clients suffer from body image issues. This often causes anxiety, depression, social anxiety and confidence issues. It is difficult to show up confident to a date, at school or work when you are feeling self-conscious or not good about all or part of your body. I have had this sort of anxiety in the past and I have worked with many women and men to resolve body image issues. You can schedule a 30 minute complimentary session on my website to explore working together. I hope you will do this for yourself. I work in Boulder, CO and by zoom from anywhere.

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
We are born happy in our own skin. As kids, we are curious about our bodies and enjoy exploring them. Then something goes wrong. A well-meaning parent suggests we skip dessert, and the dolls we play with are so anatomically inaccurate they would fall over if they were humans. Then we start to attend school and become more aware of the larger culture. We notice only certain types of bodies are portrayed in the media. Our peers and our social media tell us we should look a particular way. This story may sound familiar, and sadly, it’s a common one. Unfortunately, for so many of us, the dissatisfaction with our bodies starts when we are young and persists for many years, particularly if we don’t start to examine how we think. Together, through radical self-acceptance, fat positivity, and the anti-diet framework we can begin to work toward healing.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I have extensive experience working with negative body image. In our culture we get bombarded by objectifying and impossible messages of what our body should look like. It’s no wonder we eventually start to objectify ourselves. I work by identifying the messages clients have introjected to create more and more mental and somatic Soave from them. I use compassion focused therapy to help clients nurture a sense of empathy for their journeys and their bodies. From a place of compassion self-love can flourish.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Body image struggles are pandemic in our society. The constant messages we receive as both males and females undermine our relationship to our body. It is so easy to believe and act as if the appearance of our body is the most important thing. Even if we disagree with that statement, our minds can habitually go back to those critical and obsessive thoughts. If this resonates with you, let's work on it together.
