Body Image therapists in Big Stone Gap, Virginia VA
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We live in a culture that values certain body types more than others. This reality often brings feelings of shame for people of all body types that do not feel they can live up to these impossible beauty standards. Shame surrounding issues of body image lead to depression, anxiety, self harm and relational difficulties. It is my goal to help patients recognize these harmful thought processes and habits that damage self esteem and ones relationship to their own body. I believe that mitigating these beliefs and patters and lead to happier and healthier lives for those who wish to embark on the journey of body positivity.

Body image can be such a tough concept to navigate in a world consumed with diet culture and specific standards of beauty. Together, we will challenge those standards and learn strategies to build yourself up rather than tear yourself down.

Vincent Sanchez
Life Coach, Master Certified Life Coach, Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) 200, Meditation & Mindful Resilience for Trauma (MRT)
Our body image is not just about liking what we see in the mirror. It's also about our internal value system as fuel for acceptance, whether it be through social media, family, social pressure, illness and multiple competing areas. We'll approach this area through forming new thoughts and behaviors that enhance new views from a position of strength while providing tools and practices to deliver the image you want.

Sierra Dayton
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
I work with clients who struggle with body image to reduce the pressure they out on themselves to reach society's standards of "perfect." Together, we will explore how "perfect" is an idea and not a reality and how the media's portrayal of bodies, both women's and men's, are inaccurate and damaging to individuals.
