Do you have a negative relationship with your body and little respect for yourself? Are you hard on yourself as you grow older and/or gain weight? Body Image is the mental picture we have of our bodies. This includes what it looks like and how we perceive it. Self-Esteem is the true opinion we have of ourselves and how we respect ourselves as a person. We don't want to admit it, but at times we suffer from thinking our physical appearance is important in all factors of our lives. We must break this way of thinking and embrace a more positive body image and move towards self-love and self-acceptance.

If you like the idea of speaking freely about your thoughts and feelings without being judged, if you like feeling completely accepted for who you are, without having to change anything about yourself, then you’ve come to the right place. Therapy is an opportunity to meet with someone who will accept and support you unconditionally. It’s a space where you can safely discuss your insecurities, worries, the parts of yourself that you’ve always felt ashamed of. It’s a space where you can actually learn to stop judging yourself and to let go of thought patterns and beliefs that have been holding you back from experiencing inner peace.

Grief can be isolating. You might be scared to feel the gravity of a loss, afraid you will fall apart. The pain is unavoidable, however, the suffering can be reduced by learning healthy ways to cope and build meaning. In addition to grief work, I enjoy working with adults struggling with anxiety/OCD as well as postpartum concerns. Being a parent is both wonderful and brutal. You are trying to survive adjusting to a totally new way of life. It can be challenging, but you are not alone. I will help you strategize to most effectively utilize your support system and walk with you as you navigate this period.

You can't seem to give yourself a break. Your own voice is the harshest one you know. Whether it's at work or school, in your relationships, or with yourself, nothing ever seems to be "good enough" and finding fault in yourself is easy. Perhaps you cope by over-correcting, overthinking, or forgetting your own needs. Maybe you turn inward and pull away from the important relationships and responsibilities in your life. Either way, you find yourself exhausted, unhappy, and unsure of what else to do to feel better.

Obesity Therapists
Can obesity be a cause of depression and anxiety?
Yes. It can be stressful and debilitating to carry excess weight. Many people make inaccurate assumptions about people who are overweight. This stigma may lead individuals to feel badly about themselves, decreasing their self-esteem, or leading to feelings of worthlessness. An association between obesity and depression is well-established.
When should an individual seek treatment for obesity?
When obesity, or the feelings it causes, creates a disruption in your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Examples include avoiding social situations due to anxiety, an inability to participate in family life as a result of health problems, or poor performance at work due to low self-esteem or other concerns.
Are there specific medications for weight loss?
There are several prescription drugs that can help with weight loss, including semaglutide and phentermine. These drugs reduce appetite and must be prescribed by a physician. Professionals will suggest lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, before turning to drugs, which have side effects and typically are prescribed only for a short duration. Many people regain weight after taking weight loss drugs if they have not made significant lifestyle changes.
What is body positivity?
Body positivity is a cultural movement that promotes the acceptance of bodies of all sizes and types, rather than those that conform to societal ideals of beauty. It places self-worth, self-acceptance, and an appreciation for one’s body as goals to achieve a happier, healthier attitude about oneself and others, focusing on who a person is rather than what they look like.
