Life Coach, Certified Betrayal Trauma & Sex/Porn Addiction Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Coach, IITAP, ADOH
Betrayal, infidelity, pornography use, and sex addiction can deeply affect body image and self-esteem.

A Safe Place To Share coaching can help you rebuild self-confidence, develop a healthier relationship with your body, and separate your self-worth from your partner’s sexual behaviors or choices.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in body image, my treatment approach is grounded in fostering self-acceptance, resilience, and a positive relationship with one's body. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, I work collaboratively with individuals to challenge negative beliefs and behaviors related to body image. By exploring underlying factors such as societal pressures, past traumas, and internalized messages, we develop personalized strategies to promote self-compassion and enhance body appreciation. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, boundary-setting, and building a supportive social network to reinforce positive body image. My goal is to empower individuals to embrace their bodies with confidence, cultivate holistic well-being, and navigate societal standards with authenticity.

NewBirth Counseling & Wellness Group LLC
Professional Christian Counselor, Certified Christian Counselor, Certified Life Coach & Consultant with a PhD in Psychology
The embodied self is a psychospiritual concept that hosts existential questions of “Who am I? What am I? Where does my value lay?” Our relationship with our bodies can be fraught with neglect and dissociation as we learn to ignore the many messages it sends to us. The embodied self can be experienced in a positive or negative manner, and it is strongly related to self-esteem, self-image, and one’s satisfaction with personal and sexual intimacy. A positive sense of an embodied self is associated with autonomy, functionality, joy and fulfillment. However, chronic illness, disability and accidents, and negative social sanctions can result in a sense of disembodiment. Call our office for more detailed information.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Body image concerns often extend beyond appearance and can be shaped by deeper experiences related to identity, self-worth, and external expectations. Many women find themselves in a cycle of self-criticism or comparison that impacts confidence and daily life. In our work together, we focus on understanding how these patterns developed and building a more compassionate and sustainable relationship with your body that supports overall well-being rather than constant evaluation.

Sioux Falls is South Dakota's largest city and a regional center for healthcare, finance, and retail, with two major health systems—Sanford Health and Avera Health—each operating significant behavioral health programs that serve the city and a wide surrounding rural region. The city has grown rapidly and attracted a notable refugee resettlement population, creating demand for culturally diverse and multilingual mental health services alongside the needs of the established community. Cold winters and geographic isolation from other major urban centers contribute to elevated rates of seasonal depression and loneliness. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship stress, and the challenges of navigating mental health care in a region where conservative and religious cultural attitudes toward therapy coexist with growing acceptance.
