Struggling with eating or body image?In a society heavily saturated with diet culture ideology both in real-life interactions and online, it is not uncommon for individuals to feel discomfort, stress, or dissatisfaction related to how their bodies may look and feel. Whether disguised as a health boosting ‘diet’ or learned from influential people in our lives, disordered eating habits can sometimes become difficult to control and have detrimental effects on our health and wellbeing. If this dynamic is affecting your day-to-day life, it may be beneficial to explore your relationship with your body and with eating in a supportive therapeutic setting.
The therapists at Playa Vista Counseling work intentionally to create a safe space for clients to take a second look at their behaviors. Clients are encouraged to explore the feelings and meaning behind their eating or exercising habits that at one time may have felt beneficial or protective. We understand how hard it can be to foster self-acceptance and self-compassion in a world that focuses on criticism. We also understand that our individual relationships with food are tied to much larger things, including our family history and any history of trauma we may have. With the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and other empirically backed treatment modalities, we do our best to provide helpful treatment tailored to each individual client.
