Your relationship with your body can significantly impact your confidence, happiness, and overall mental health. If you are struggling with negative thoughts about your appearance or find that body dissatisfaction affects your daily life, body image therapy with Dr. Diana can help you begin to heal and reconnect with yourself in a healthier and more compassionate way. 

Understanding Body Image
Body image isn’t just how you see yourself, but also how you feel about your body, how you think others see you, and how those thoughts and emotions shape your behavior. Many people experience body dissatisfaction, but for some, these feelings can become overwhelming, leading to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or disordered eating patterns. A healthy body image is deeply connected to self-esteem, or the way we value ourselves as a whole person. When self-worth becomes tied to appearance or achievement, perfectionism often takes root, driving unrealistic expectations and harsh self-criticism. This can lead to all-or-nothing thinking, where a single perceived flaw or “bad day” overshadows all progress. In therapy, we work to challenge these rigid patterns, helping individuals build self-compassion, recognize their inherent worth beyond appearance, and embrace the idea that healing and growth come from progress, not perfection.

Dr. Diana provides a safe, supportive environment where you can explore these feelings without judgment. Her goal is to help you understand the roots of your body image struggles and build a more balanced, accepting view of yourself.

A Compassionate and Evidence-Based Approach
Drawing on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based approaches, Dr. Diana works collaboratively with clients to challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop self-compassion, and reduce the impact of negative body image on daily life.

Therapy may include exploring cultural and social influences, past experiences, and personal expectations that have shaped how you view your body. Together, you will learn ways to manage critical self-talk, regulate emotions, and focus more on your body’s strength, functionality, and resilience rather than appearance alone. Dr. Diana will also help you increase insight surrounding behaviors that maintain body image and work together to overpower negative thoughts and shift toward body neutrality.

Who Can Benefit From Body Image Therapy?
Body image therapy can be beneficial to anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of negative self-image and comparison. Whether you’re recovering from an eating disorder, coping with changes in your body due to aging or illness, or simply tired of feeling at war with your reflection, Dr. Diana can guide you toward a more peaceful, confident relationship with your body. Changing how you feel about your body takes time, patience, and support, but you don’t have to do it alone. Dr. Diana offers a compassionate space for you to reconnect with your sense of self-worth and rediscover confidence beyond appearance. Book a session today!
