Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Struggling with body image can affect confidence, relationships, and overall well-being. We offer a trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach that helps you connect with your body in a compassionate, empowering way. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we explore the roots of self-criticism, perfectionism, and internalized messages about your body. Together, we work on developing self-compassion, emotional regulation, and a healthier relationship with yourself, addressing both thoughts and the bodily experience of stress, shame, or discomfort. Our sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental space to heal, cultivate self-acceptance, and move toward a life where your worth isn’t defined by appearance, but by who you are.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Poor body image or "Body dysmorphic disorder" is a mental health disorder that can cause you to unduly focus on perceived defects or flaws in your appearance. This may be something easily overlooked by others but can trigger such negative feelings inside of you that it can present as social anxiety, embarrassment or shame. Hypnosis can help you overcome these feelings and reach a point of self-acceptance that will allow you to move on with living your life unhindered.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
I have borrowed Andrew Seuber's approach to working with a negative body image, that is from the inside out.
He suggests that "The negative image is understood as a dissociated and shame-based “part” of the personality in need of understanding and compassion, achieved via mindful awareness, “parts” dialogue and trauma processing.
The first step is to create healthy separation between the "observing" or aware Self and the part(s) absorbed in the eating disorder via mindful awareness.
Once this separation between the "whole" self and part of self is established, the Gestalt polarity tradition (empty chairs) is utilized to develop understanding of the shame-based part.
Understanding leads to compassion for the eating disordered part from a non-enmeshed state of consciousness, aka the aware self, the experiencing self, the observing self.
Healing of the eating disordered part occurs when that part no longer feels exiled as a "not-I" and is assisted in processing the traumatic roots of the disorder."

Brian Baumal
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Body Image issues often go hand-in-hand with eating disorders and obesity and weight issues. People can judge their body harshly or have a negative relationship with it. Body image issues are often one of the latter topics that get discussed in therapy, because they are often so personal, and in some cases they may even be unknown to the client. There are a significant number of ways to address body image issues, but one that always is effective somewhat is to say to clients "Your body doesn't have a mouth. If it did, what would it say, and how would it say it?" Putting these words to one's body is a great and refreshing start to dealing with these important issues.

Tisha Misquita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do thoughts about your body shape how you see yourself or move through the world?
You may feel preoccupied with your appearance, critical of how you look, or disconnected from your body — even when others don’t notice the same things. These experiences can quietly affect confidence, relationships, and day-to-day comfort in your own skin.
You might find yourself fixating on specific body parts, comparing yourself to others, avoiding mirrors or photos, or feeling uncomfortable being seen or noticed. Over time, your sense of worth may start to feel closely tied to appearance.
Body image struggles often reflect deeper experiences around safety, belonging, and self-worth. Therapy can help unpack these layers and support a more compassionate, trusting relationship with your body beyond appearance alone.
