Body Image
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I have worked with many clients struggling with body image, including body dysmorphia, body dysphoria, and eating disorders. Body image is often not really about appearance—it’s about control, shame, identity, trauma, and how we learned to be seen by others. Many people I work with have complicated relationships with their bodies due to trauma, gender identity, cultural pressure, or past experiences of being judged or objectified. In therapy, we focus on changing your relationship with your body from something you fight against into something you can live in with more compassion, safety, and choice.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Body image struggles are rarely just about appearance. They often reflect deeper experiences of shame, self-criticism, comparison, and the belief that your worth depends on how you look. Therapy offers a space to understand these patterns with compassion, reconnect with your body as an ally rather than an enemy, and cultivate a more grounded, accepting relationship with yourself.
