Summit Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, ATR-BC
Body image is addressed in individual counseling and historical and present day roots are explored. It is usually a part of a larger pattern of self-esteem and use of counseling to develop a healthy relationship can help people feel improvements in terms of self-acceptance and self-awareness which can impact body image. We typically will refer out if there are eating disorder symptoms outside of our scope. There are often historical roots to body image which can safely be explored in the counseling process.

Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems (IFS) body image concerns are understood as the result of protective parts (e.g., critical or perfectionistic parts) trying to manage deeper feelings of shame, rejection, or inadequacy. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to approach these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment or avoidance. As protective parts feel understood and burdens are unburdened, clients can develop a more accepting and connected relationship with their bodies.
