Erica McArn
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The perception and view one holds of their body is an integral part of how they experience their life as it often impacts their interactions with others as well as interactions with self and their environment as it is a self-reflection of how one perceives their appearance. In addition, it contributes to self-esteem and internal thoughts of self. A negative sense of self or negative body image can significantly effect a person's ability to relate to others as well as the world around them and often leads to other mental health issues, such as depression, relationship issues, and social anxiety.
Shifting perceptions of self can be hard and often takes personal commitment, self-compassion, and the willingness to step outside of one's comfort zone. Utilizing a person-centered and holistic approach, I work with clients, meeting them where they are on their journey, to develop reasonable and achievable treatment goals.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
The relationship we have with our body and self-image can change over time. Comparison, feeling hyper focused on looking a certain way, and even messages you may have received growing up about your body can all go into affecting our view of self. I take a compassionate approach to understanding and helping you feel more confident (and compassionate!) with who you are on both an emotional and physical level.

Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
Does this sound familiar?
You struggle with negative thoughts about your body, basing your worth on your appearance, obsessing about your weight and shape, and constantly comparing yourself to others. Your self-esteem is tied to the number on your scale. You may even find that your relationships and ability to enjoy life are suffering. You may avoid wearing certain kinds of clothes, being in photos, attending social events, swimming, pursuing hobbies, or trying new things. Deep down, you yearn for a more peaceful, connected and fulfilling life where your time and energy are focused on the things that truly matter to you.
With Health at Every Size (HAES), Intuitive Eating (IE), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and other evidence-based approaches, I will help you cultivate self-worth and body respect so you can be kind to yourself and redirect your energy to what fills you with purpose and joy. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with negative body image and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, ACSW, APCC, AMFT
Body Image issue may be a sign of an eating disorder. Some symptoms of an eating disorder are if your teen begins to eat healthy, cutting out certain food groups that are “bad” or “unhealthy,” deciding to be a vegetarian or vegan but taking it to an extreme. You may notice your teen pushing food around their plate but not eating it, developing excessive rules around food that seems above and beyond those of a typical teen.
At Campbell Teen & Family Therapy, we offer treatment for all eating disorders. Our philosophy is that it takes a team. This team consists of the family, the therapist, the primary care doctor and a dietitian. We partner with Bay Area Nutrition, to make access to dietitian services easy and convenient, they are located next door to us! We allow our patients to use whichever medical doctor they are comfortable with. If your doctor is not an eating disorder specialist and you cannot get into an eating disorder specialist doctor due to wait lists, then we can help to coach your doctor on the tests needed to assess for an eating disorder and on what our program requires for medical monitoring.
