Do you struggle with body image issues?
Are you tired of feeling controlled by disordered eating and a negative body image? These things can significantly impact your mental well-being, taking away joyful moments and hindering your opportunities for personal growth. It can feel like an all-consuming struggle that leaves you feeling inadequate, filled with negativity, and take over your thoughts.
Finding peace and acceptance with your body can feel like an uphill battle in a culture that bombards us with conflicting messages about our appearance. Society somehow finds a way to constantly tell us that our bodies are either too much or not enough, leaving us feeling stuck and disheartened. To make matters even more worse, many of us have experienced size-based discrimination, whether it’s struggling to find clothing that fits comfortably or facing negative interactions with healthcare providers. These experiences can deeply affect our self-esteem and make it even harder to cultivate a positive body image.
But here’s the truth: You deserve so much more. You deserve to love yourself unconditionally, to be surrounded by people who appreciate and support you for who you are, and to receive compassionate healthcare that respects your unique needs. Most importantly, you deserve to live a full and meaningful life in the body you have right now, without waiting for some arbitrary standard of perfection.
At My Denver Therapy, we understand the many challenges you face with body image, and we’re here to help you break free from the grips of disordered eating and negative body image. Our experienced therapists provide compassionate support and evidence-based strategies to help you reclaim your life and establish a healthier relationship with food and your body.
Don’t let disordered eating and negative body image define you. Take the first step towards healing and rediscover the joy that life has to offer.Remember, you don’t have to face this journey alone – we are here to support you every step of the way.
Your life is too precious to be ruled by body image issues
Our bodies are precious. They carry us through life’s many journeys. It’s crucial to treat them with the utmost care and respect, just as we would with a friend we love. You can break free from the grip of shame and fear that stops you from fully embracing and living the life you want to live.
While loving your body may not be a requirement for a fulfilling life, fostering a relationship of kindness and compassion towards your body is essential. Rather than engaging in an adversarial mindset, we can help you strive for harmony and acceptance.
As body image therapists, we can help you create a life that’s guided by your deepest values and aspirations, rather than being consumed by the numbers on a scale.
Body image issues are not your fault
We live in a society inundated with food rules and societal expectations, and it’s no wonder that many of us find ourselves navigating the spectrum of disordered eating. From a young age, we’ve been bombarded with messages that equate thinness with health and success.
The relentless pressure to conform to beauty ideals can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and controlling. We are led to believe that being thin is the ultimate measure of desirability, respectability, and achievement. We often find ourselves trapped in a never-ending cycle of striving to attain an elusive standard of perfection.
If you’ve spent your life adhering to strict food rules, restrictions, and unrealistic expectations for your body, you are not alone. Many others share this struggle with you, even if it doesn’t feel like that.
The expectations placed on our bodies cannot be a one-size-fits-all approach. Each person is unique, with their own individual journey and needs.We are here to provide the support you need when you are ready to reconnect with yourself and find peace with your body and relationship with food.
Together, we will create a safe space for you to come home to yourself and embrace a life that celebrates your authentic beauty, inside and out.
How does therapy for body image issues work?
At My Denver Therapy, our goal is to foster a deep understanding of your relationship with your body and empower you to gain insights into how you’ve learned to care for it. Together, we’ll embark on a journey to explore your self-perception, uncover the internalized messages you’ve absorbed, and examine their impact on your well-being.
Through our therapeutic process, we’ll devote time to understanding how you nurture your body and the origins of these behaviors. We will dive into questions surrounding your relationship with food, examining the factors that have shaped this dynamic. By gaining clarity on these patterns, we can collaboratively discern which patterns are beneficial and which may be hindering your growth and happiness.
With the support of your therapist, you’ll have the opportunity to develop a transformative relationship with your body. We will encourage you to intentionally shift your self-talk and adopt practices that prioritize self-care and self-kindness. Throughout this challenging yet rewarding process, we will be by your side, offering guidance and unwavering support as you learn to treat yourself with the love and compassion you truly deserve.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.

Meet our Denver therapists
My Denver Therapy is one of the largest woman-owned therapy private practices in Colorado with many of the best, most requested therapists in Denver.
As a therapist-owned practice with decades of combined experience, we care about seeing our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We’re one of the only therapy practices in Colorado with licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, and psychiatric nurse practitioners who actively see new clients. Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in you.
Our practice started with one therapist in a shared office suite, but we’ve grown to help thousands of people in Colorado by providing in-person therapy at our conveniently located Denver Metro area counseling offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, plus online therapy for clients throughout Colorado. Because of the way our team works, our therapists provide consultation for other therapists and private practices in the Denver Metro area.
Our inclusive therapists provide some of the most innovative, effective, and in-demand forms of therapy available today, including EMDR, Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, CBT, and IFS. We also have more therapists trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy and more teen therapists and young adult counselors than nearly every other private practice in Denver.
We know that clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists with different backgrounds, specialities, and experiences to help you find the right fit. We’ll match you with one of our therapists who is the best for your goals, location, budget, and schedule to help you get started quickly.
We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy.
All of our therapists take a client-focused approach to counseling and approach each session with a commitment to your progress and growth.
