Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Body image is not just personal—it’s shaped by powerful cultural messages about which bodies are acceptable, desirable, and worthy of care. From a young age, many people are exposed to narrow, often Eurocentric and ableist standards that are reinforced through media, family systems, healthcare, and broader societal norms. These messages don’t just stay external—they get internalized. Over time, they can shape how you see yourself, how you treat your body, and even what you believe you deserve. For people in marginalized bodies—whether due to race, size, gender identity, disability, or other identities—these pressures are often more intense, more scrutinized, and more harmful.
At Nour Counseling, we take a deeper approach to body image work. We actively help you unpack the cultural conditioning and dominant narratives that have shaped your beliefs about your body, so you can begin to separate your voice from what you’ve been taught to internalize. We look at how these patterns show up in your daily life—whether that’s body checking, restriction, avoidance, comparison, or harsh self-talk—and build practical, realistic ways to shift them. This might include changing how you engage with social media, setting boundaries around conversations that reinforce harm, reconnecting with your body’s needs, and developing a more grounded, respectful relationship with yourself. This isn’t about forcing body positivity—it’s about helping you step out of inherited narratives and move toward something that actually feels like yours.
