When You Don’t Feel at Home in Your Body
You might spend hours thinking about food, weight, or how your body looks — yet still feel disconnected or never “enough.” Maybe you compare yourself to others, replay comments you’ve heard about your appearance, or struggle to enjoy things you love because you’re too aware of how you look doing them.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. So many people — especially women — carry an invisible burden of shame, guilt, and self-criticism around their bodies. What starts as “wanting to be healthier” can turn into a constant inner battle. In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you quiet those harsh inner voices and reconnect with your body in a kinder, more trusting way. You’ll learn tools to:
Challenge the perfectionistic thoughts that feed self-criticism
Understand what drives body-focused fears and anxiety
Build new habits of self-acceptance and calm
Experience genuine comfort and confidence in your skin
Our sessions blend science, mindfulness, and compassion. You’ll have weekly check-ins to track progress and brief daily exercises to practice new patterns — because real change happens between sessions.
I BELIEVE:
Your body is not a problem to fix — it’s your home, your history, and your ally.
Confidence grows when we practice kindness toward ourselves, not punishment.
Comparison steals joy, but connection restores it.
You deserve to live fully — wear the clothes you love, eat without guilt, and show up in your life as you are.
Healing becomes easier when we add a little humor and humanity along the way.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Nancee Belshaw
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The way you feel about your body can profoundly influence your confidence, relationships, and emotional well-being. If you struggle with self-criticism, dissatisfaction with your appearance, or the pressure to meet unrealistic expectations, therapy can help you develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I work with clients to explore the feelings and experiences shaping their self-image, strengthen their sense of personal worth, and discover greater freedom from painful judgments about their appearance.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Often times, the way we attribute our self worth is through our body image overlooking our whole selves leading to negative perceptions and low self-esteem. By integrating hypnotherapy, you can overcome your body image challenges and embrace a more balanced and fulfilling life. The transformation achieved through this therapeutic process not only enhances your self-esteem but also contributes to your overall emotional and mental well-being.
