Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Body image is what you think of yourself when you look in the mirror. It involves how you feel about your body weight, height, and shape, how you physically experience your body when you move, and what you believe about your appearance. People with negative body image are most likely to develop eating disorders and suffer from depression, obsessions with weight-loss, and low self-esteem. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is one of the best way to address body image issues.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Body image refers to an individual's perception, thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards their own body. It is influenced by various factors including cultural standards, media messages, and personal experiences. A negative body image can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, and can interfere with daily life activities. On the other hand, a positive body image is associated with better mental health and overall well-being.
Body image concerns are common and can affect people of all ages and genders. Psychotherapy can help individuals develop a healthier relationship with their body by addressing negative thoughts and beliefs, exploring their personal experiences, and promoting self-acceptance and self-compassion. If you or a loved one is struggling with body image concerns, a licensed mental health professional can provide support and guidance towards a more positive and healthy relationship with your body.

Bianca Uguccioni
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, RP
Body image concerns can have a significant impact on someone’s wellbeing. Addressing body image in therapy will allow you to explore the origins of these concerns, the narratives that uphold these concerns and how these concerns impact you, and how you want to feel about your body moving forward. Therapy, with me, will be a safe space where you can explore the different emotions associated with these concerns and find ways to develop self-compassion and an alternate story that allows you to have the relationship you want with your body. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.
