Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
Body image is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. It involves the way we perceive and feel about our bodies, as well as the way we believe others perceive us. Body image issues can manifest in a variety of ways, from feeling self-conscious about a specific feature to experiencing anxiety and depression related to body size and shape.
In today's society, where social media and advertising often promote unrealistic beauty standards, it can be challenging to develop a positive body image. However, learning to love and accept our bodies is essential for our overall well-being. It can help us feel more confident, improve our relationships, and enhance our overall quality of life.
Counseling and therapy can be valuable tools for addressing body image issues. Through therapy, individuals can learn to identify and challenge negative beliefs about their bodies, develop coping strategies for managing anxiety and depression, and build a more positive and accepting relationship with their bodies. By focusing on self-care, self-love, and self-compassion, individuals can learn to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Body image counseling is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on assisting individuals in developing a healthier and more positive relationship with their bodies. Body image is how individuals perceive and feel about their physical appearance, such as size, shape, and overall attractiveness. A negative body image can result in emotional distress, low self-esteem, and the onset of eating disorders or other mental health issues.
Body image therapy aims not to achieve a particular ideal body shape or size but to promote self-acceptance and a positive body image regardless of physical appearance. The therapeutic process is individualized, and the therapist collaborates with the client to address his or her particular requirements and objectives.
If negative body image is significantly affecting your well-being or contributing to mental health issues, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a qualified mental health professional with experience in body image therapy to begin the process of developing a healthier and more positive body image.
