FOR ADULTS & TEENS
Body Image Support
Serving Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Sandy Springs, and East Cobb
If you’re searching for body image therapy in Roswell, GA, you may be feeling stuck in cycles of comparison, self-criticism, or constant pressure to look or be a certain way. Maybe thoughts about your body, food, or exercise take up more mental space than you want or you notice your teen becoming more withdrawn, self-conscious, or hard on themselves.
At Kind Heart Counseling, I offer body image therapy for teens, college students, and adults in Roswell, Georgia, with a compassionate, weight-neutral approach. Therapy here isn’t about fixing your body. It’s about helping you build a steadier, kinder relationship with yourself.
What Body Image Struggles Can Look Like
Body image concerns don’t always look obvious from the outside. Many clients I work with appear “high-functioning” or successful, but internally they feel disconnected, ashamed, or never quite good enough.
Body image struggles may show up as:
Constant comparison to others (especially with social media)
Harsh self-talk or feeling uncomfortable in your own skin
Anxiety around food, exercise, or appearance
Perfectionism and fear of being judged
Avoiding mirrors, photos, or social situations
Feeling like confidence depends on how you look
For teens and young adults, body image concerns are often tied to identity, self-worth, academic pressure, and social belonging. Parents may notice changes in mood, confidence, eating patterns, or withdrawal but know exactly how to help.
Body Image Therapy for Teens and Young Adults
I specialize in working with teens, young adults, college students, and adults who struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, and pressure to be “enough.” Many of my clients are sensitive, high-achieving, or perfectionistic and deeply hard on themselves.
In body image therapy, we focus on:
Understanding where beliefs come from
Building awareness without judgment
Developing self-compassion and emotional flexibility
Reducing comparison and shame
Reconnecting with your body in safe, gentle ways
This work moves at your pace. There’s no pressure to talk about food, weight, or appearance before you’re ready and no expectation that you have everything figured out.
A Weight-Neutral, Compassion-Focused Approach
I utilize different modalities, depending on what works best for you:
Compassion-Focused Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
RO-DBT-informed strategies
Mindfulness and nervous system awareness
Creative and experiential interventions (without pressure to be “artistic”)
Together, we work toward more flexibility, self-trust, and ease especially for clients who feel stuck in control, rigidity, or self-criticism.
My approach to body image therapy is weight-neutral, meaning bodies are not labeled as “good” or “bad,” and worth is never tied to size or appearance. Therapy here focuses on how you relate to your body, not changing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
