Psychologist, MA, LLP
Not only is having a negative body image difficult but if not attended to, individuals can develop Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Those with BDD struggle with similar concerns such as preoccupation with flaws and a distorted perception of their features, but they also engage in compulsive behaviors and avoid social situations due to shame and disgust. They have such a distorted view of their body that is considered extreme by others. Examples include getting a nose job to fix their nose that wasn’t “too big” in the eyes of others or having a healthy (or even below healthy) Body Mass Index (BMI) and considering themselves to be fat.
Holding a negative body image can quickly begin to affect one’s mental health. Body image issues have been linked to anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and eating disorders. It is crucial to seek professional help if you are experiencing any of these mental health concerns in addition to body image issues.

Lyz Luidens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LLMSW
Our society and media are full of ideas of what bodies should look like or be able to do, which can make it extremely difficult to love yourself and your body if it does not fit the idealized version of bodies that we so often see glorified in the media. I would be honored to support you in your journey towards healing your relationship with your body and building confidence and coping skills to change your perception of yourself into one that is loving and compassionate.
