Mary Karlan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Work
I am experienced working with young adults struggling with body image issues such as body dysmorphia, Bulimia, Anorexia Nervosa, and being overweight. Social media can be great in many ways, however, young people today are increasingly feeling that they always have to look “camera ready!” People are judged on their instagram photos and how many “likes” they get, and this can make body image take center stage and ;therefore, cause low self-esteem.

Babak Max Karimbeik
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Body image refers to how people see themselves. Distorted body image (also called negative body image) refers to an unrealistic view of how someone sees their body. Like eating disorders, it is seen most commonly in women, but many men also suffer from the disorder. You begin forming your perceptions of your body’s attractiveness, health, acceptability and functionality in early childhood. This body image continues to form as you age and receive feedback from peers, family member, coaches, etc. Personality traits such as perfectionism and self-criticism can also influence the development of a negative internalized image of your body until you bring awareness to the negative effects that body image has on the mind, body, and soul. I will create a safe environment where you can identify your thoughts and feelings exploring for possible triggers. The purpose of this is to weaken the trigger by desensitizing it or teaching you skills to counter-act the trigger so you can be more confident and increase your self-esteem. Cognitive restructuring will begin by first exploring how your negative body image is influenced by cultural beliefs, peers and society. Ego strengthening is a necessary part of the process where a healthy relationship with the therapist is established by creating boundaries and a safe container.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
People struggle with body image in response to a variety of triggers, some internal and some external. The American culture historically has reinforced a specific body image that most of us don't fit into. A history of trauma can further increase body-image challenges. I help people explore and get to know parts of themselves struggling to accept the body they are in.

Meg McGuire
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Poor body image often goes hand-in-hand with eating disorders or disordered eating. I help clients challenge their faulty beliefs about their body so they can learn to love, accept and respect the body that they live in.
