Licensed Professional Counselor, Pamela Tremblay LPC, NBCC, EMDR, CMHP, CTHP
Overcoming a poor body image requires a multi-faceted approach grounded in self-compassion, awareness, and self love. It's about embracing your individuality, reshaping your narrative, and recognizing that every body is unique and deserving of love. One way to start is by fostering a healthier relationship with your body and empowering your mind to be intentional to focus on the positive perspective and overall well-being.
Living in a human body is tough. Not to mention all the messages we receive about what an ideal body should look like. I help clients identify their critical voices and move towards self compassion.
If you are struggling with body image issues that prevents you from being the best version of yourself, I am here to support you and help you build confidence within yourself and love and accept the body you live in.

This component will help in developing and enforcing positive embodiment by increasing positive connection between the individual body, self-esteem, emotional awareness, feelings, and general life satisfaction. Therefore, the individual should be able to improve their physical, emotional and psychological health impairments.
I am passionate about helping people improve the way they feel about their body. I have experience helping people struggling with body image in college counseling centers, medical centers, and private practice. I also have research experience in body image and have presented at conferences and to counseling centers as well as schools about how to improve body image.

The embodied self is a psychospiritual concept that hosts existential questions of “Who am I? What am I? Where does my value lay?” Our relationship with our bodies can be fraught with neglect and dissociation as we learn to ignore the many messages it sends to us. The embodied self can be experienced in a positive or negative manner, and it is strongly related to self-esteem, self-image, and one’s satisfaction with personal and sexual intimacy. A positive sense of an embodied self is associated with autonomy, functionality, joy and fulfillment. However, chronic illness, disability and accidents, and negative social sanctions can result in a sense of disembodiment. Call our office for more detailed information.
In our image-obsessed society, body image concerns are unfortunately incredibly common. As a result of long-entrenched patterns of thought and behaviors, we can feel defined and constrained by our outside appearance. In the safe space of therapy, we can start to question and dismantle some of our habitual ways of thinking about our bodies, and learn to relate to ourselves with love and compassion.
Do you find yourself avoiding mirrors or scales? Or...are you constantly weighing yourself? Inspecting yourself? Dressing in ways to hide your body? Do you have rules about eating or exercise? I want to help you feel better about yourself, to calm those self-critical beliefs and feel secure in your skin. Please feel free to reach out to me to learn more about my approach to treating body image.
