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.

Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Body image concerns are often shaped by more than appearance alone. Experiences of trauma, criticism, cultural expectations, difficult relationships, or major life transitions can affect how safe, comfortable, or connected we feel in our bodies. Whether you struggle with self-criticism, comparison, disordered eating, or feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can help you better understand these experiences and develop a more compassionate relationship with your body.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with body image, I take a compassionate, body-centered approach that invites curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we explore how cultural messages, early experiences, and internalized narratives have shaped the way you relate to your body. Using somatic awareness and parts work, we begin to untangle the protective strategies that may be at play and build a more respectful, connected, and empowered relationship with your body over time.

When you look in the mirror, what you see is not what other people see, you are constantly focused on what you perceive as flaws, lets work on this inner sabotaging.

Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Struggles with coping with body image concerns can lead to problems with relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can explore how to address your body image concerns and how these struggles may impact your happiness and ability to get what you want. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
