Linardi Therapy Services
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT)
Body image therapy helps individuals heal from shame, dissatisfaction, and disordered eating by cultivating a compassionate, neutral, or positive relationship with their physical self. Specialized therapists utilize CBT, SFBT and,ACT,, to help clients move from body hatred toward body neutrality, focusing on body functionality rather than just appearance.
- Compassionate & Body-Positive (Focus on healing): This approach helps clients stop body-checking, comparison, and shame. It aims to foster self-compassion and build a respectful relationship with the body.
- Direct & Clinical (Focus on behavior change): This approach uses CBT to treat body dysmorphia, chronic dieting, and body image disturbance. The goal is to move from dissatisfaction to body neutrality.
- Holistic & Inclusive (Focus on intersectionality): This approach provides a safe space to explore how racial, gender, and weight-based stigma have impacted self-worth. It helps individuals reconnect with their bodies.
