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.

We help clients explore the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that shape how they see themselves, while building healthier, more affirming ways of relating to their bodies. Through approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and psychodynamic insight, clients learn to challenge negative self‑talk, reduce comparison, and cultivate confidence rooted in self‑acceptance rather than appearance. Whether body image struggles stem from past experiences, social pressures, or internal expectations, we provide a safe, empowering space to heal, grow, and reconnect with a sense of worth that goes far beyond the mirror.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.
