BODY IMAGE & DISORDERED EATING

Are you struggling with the impacts of body image or disordered eating?

Right now, you might be experiencing:

Constant Body Checking

You frequently look in mirrors, pinch or measure parts of your body, or compare yourself to others, even if you don’t want to.

Food Rules and Rigid Habits

You follow strict rules about what, when, or how much to eat—and feel anxious or guilty when those rules are broken.

Exercise Driven by Shame

Movement feels like a way to earn food, punish your body, or try to "fix" how you look, rather than something supportive or joyful.

Preoccupation with Control

Thoughts about food, weight, or appearance take up so much space that it’s hard to focus on anything else.

You've started to recognize how body image and disordered eating are impacting your daily life

Missing Out on Social Events

You avoid meals out, group activities, or celebrations because they involve food or you’re worried about how you’ll be seen.

Mood depends on body

Your self-worth shifts dramatically depending on how you perceive your body that day.

Secret Shame and Isolation

You keep your habits or thoughts hidden, even from people you trust, because you're afraid they won’t understand or will worry.

Mental Exhaustion

You feel drained from the constant planning, tracking, or self-criticism around food, movement, or appearance.

You’re wondering so now what?

Common questions

How can therapy help?

Therapy can help you understand the deeper roots of your relationship with food, movement, and your body—whether it’s about control, safety, identity, or coping. Together, we’ll untangle shame from self-worth, gently challenge rigid beliefs, and develop more supportive ways of relating to your body. You’ll build emotional tools for managing anxiety around eating, unpack the impact of diet culture or trauma, and learn to reconnect with hunger, fullness, and care, not punishment or perfection.

What if I'm not sure?

You don’t need a diagnosis to start therapy. If any of this resonates with you, we welcome you to explore it with us—no pressure, no judgment.
