Body Image and Healthy Relationship with Food

Helping you develop a positive body image and a balanced approach to eating.

Understanding the Body-Mind Connection

How we feel about our bodies impacts every area of life—from relationships to confidence to how we nourish ourselves. If your relationship with food feels fraught or filled with shame, therapy can help you rebuild trust with your body.

Disordered Eating and Negative Body Image

These may show up as food rules, emotional eating, compulsive behaviors, or cycles of restriction and guilt. They’re not just about food—they’re about deeper emotional needs.

▸ Common Signs

• Preoccupation with weight or appearance

• Emotional eating or binge-restrict cycles

• Negative self-talk about your body

• Compulsive exercise or food tracking

Root Causes

Diet culture, trauma, family dynamics, and perfectionism often contribute to body image struggles. These patterns are complex—and they are not your fault.

A Compassionate Approach

In therapy, we foster curiosity over judgment. Together, we’ll explore underlying emotional needs, rewrite body beliefs, and build sustainable patterns that support health and joy.
