Do you struggle with how you see or feel about your body? You may find yourself frequently criticizing your appearance, comparing yourself to others, avoiding mirrors or photos, feeling uncomfortable in certain clothes, or spending a lot of time worrying about how others perceive you. Body image concerns can affect confidence, relationships, intimacy, and how comfortable you feel in everyday life.
I specialize in supporting individuals who are struggling with body image, self-esteem, appearance-related anxiety, and a difficult relationship with their body. Therapy provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be shaping how you see yourself.
My approach integrates traditional talk therapy with specialized neuroscience-informed and body-based therapies to support a deeper understanding of the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, and nervous system. Depending on your needs and goals, therapy may incorporate approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Ego State Therapy, Clinical Hypnosis, and other evidence-based approaches.
Whether you prefer the comfort of virtual sessions or in-person support, I offer therapy in London and Grand Bend, Ontario, as well as secure online therapy across Ontario. Together, we can work toward developing a more compassionate relationship with your body, strengthening self-confidence, and feeling more comfortable being yourself.
If you’re looking for support with your relationship with your body, I invite you to connect and explore whether therapy may be a good fit for you. Book your initial appointment through our secure online booking portal at https://serenitymindbodypsychotherapy.janeapp.com.

Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
For many of us, the body image messages we’ve received from our external world have become internalized. We’ve created a dialogue for ourselves convincing us that our bodies are not good enough, not worthy of love, respect, kindness or acceptance and that they need to change. Having issues with our body image can show up in our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships, and can very easily lead to significant self-esteem issues, anxiety, and disordered eating.
Get in touch to learn more on dismantling the body image narrative we've had for so long, and work towards a place of body acceptance and neutrality.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Often negative body image and body dysmorphia are rooted in deeper, unresolved concerns such as trauma and/or neurodivergence. Unfortunately, the body often becomes a convenient "punching bag" when we lack the ability to regulate our thoughts, feelings, and behaviour; for some, the body is viewed as something we can control in lieu of having control in other areas of life. In session, we can explore the root cause of your anxiety or shame and work towards improved self-esteem and body neutrality, if not body acceptance. My approach is anti-diet culture and informed by years of research on fat-phobia.

Struggling with body image can affect so much more than how we feel about our appearance. It can influence our confidence, relationships, and sense of self-worth. You may find yourself caught in cycles of comparison, self-criticism, or feeling uncomfortable in your own body. Drawing on my background in eating disorder recovery coaching, I offer a compassionate space to explore your relationship with your body, understand the beliefs and experiences that shape how you feel about yourself, and work toward greater self-acceptance. My hope is to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and at peace with yourself, wherever you are in your journey.

We are bombarded daily with ideals and opinions about ideal body shapes. We need to uncover an acceptance of who we are as we are. I work with clients to develop a healthier mindset and self-image.
