Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Body image struggles can be quiet and constant—an ongoing sense that your body isn’t good enough, attractive enough, or worth trusting. These thoughts can show up in subtle ways, or take over your daily life. Whether it’s tied to food, weight, aging, sexuality, or how you move through the world, body image issues can affect your confidence, relationships, and self-worth.
This is also personal for me. I’ve done my own work around body image, so I understand how layered and emotional this process can be. Therapy isn’t about pushing unrealistic positivity. It’s about helping you build a more compassionate and honest relationship with your body, one step at a time.
Together, we can explore where these messages came from, how they’ve shaped your behavior and identity, and how to start living in your body with more peace and less shame.
