In a culture that often promotes unrealistic beauty standards, many individuals struggle with body image, self-worth, and the relationship they have with their bodies. At The Summit Counseling Center, we offer body positivity counseling to support clients in developing a healthier, more compassionate view of themselves — one rooted in respect, not shame.
Is Body Image Affecting Your Well-Being?
You may benefit from body positivity counseling if you:
- Struggle with negative thoughts about your body or appearance
- Feel pressured to meet certain weight or beauty standards
- Avoid activities, clothes, or social situations because of body image concerns
- Have a history of disordered eating or chronic dieting
- Criticize your body or feel unworthy based on appearance
- Want to build confidence, self-acceptance, and emotional wellness
