Body Image Therapy in Chicago

Struggling with how you feel about your body can affect so many parts of your life, from your self-confidence to your overall well-being. If you find yourself constantly battling negative thoughts about your appearance; comparing your body to other people’s bodies; avoiding photos, mirrors, social events, or certain clothing; feeling that your worth depends on your weight, shape, or appearance; difficulty feeling present or comfortable in your body; guilt or anxiety related to food, exercise, or rest; feeling disconnected from your body’s needs; you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it on your own.

Our body image therapy utilizes Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe negative thought patterns, fostering a more positive self-perception. We will also incorporate somatic techniques like yoga therapy and mindfulness training to help you develop a more mindful and compassionate relationship with your body. Additionally, we will utilize Health at Every Size (HAES) to redefine what it means to be healthy. Our goal is not only to alleviate the distress associated with body image concerns but to foster a profound sense of self-acceptance. Whether you are dealing with body dysmorphia, self-esteem issues, or seeking body positivity therapy, we are here to support your journey towards holistic healing and self-acceptance.

Sometimes we stay because of how much time, energy, or love we’ve already invested. But everything you’ve given doesn’t obligate you to keep giving. You’re allowed to recognize that something no longer fits, even if you once worked hard to make it work.

Our bodies develop holding patterns, or habitual ways of responding to stress.
The good news is that they can be changed. Somatic therapy helps you notice these patterns, understand what they're communicating, and gradually teach your nervous system a new way of responding.

Maybe you've been in therapy before but still feel like something is missing. Or maybe you've noticed that stress doesn't just live in your mind. It shows up as tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, stomach issues, or feeling like you can never truly relax. Somatic therapy recognizes that healing isn't just about changing your thoughts. It's about understanding what your body has been holding onto, too. In our newest blog, we're sharing seven signs that somatic therapy might be right for you, how it works, and why including the body in the healing process can lead to deeper, more lasting change. Read the full blog through the link in our bio.

Therapy can help you create more authentic and solid relationships. One of the transformations that often comes from working on relationships in therapy is about allowing yourself to show up more authentically in relationships, and prioritizing that over being liked by everyone. You might still care what people think. You might still feel uncomfortable when someone is disappointed in you. The difference is learning that you can handle that discomfort without abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
