Help for teens who have body image, eating, and weight issues
Teenagers have a difficult world to navigate - they have pressure
to excel in school and extra-curricular activities, they are discovering
who they are, and they are figuring out where they fit into their families
and in with their peers.
When children are having trouble, they will either "act in" or "act out."
"Acting in" includes withdrawing, depression, self-mutilation, overeating,
undereating, purging food, sleeping too much or too little, video game and internet overuse, and drug or
alcohol abuse.
"Acting out" includes anger, getting into fights, promiscuity, vandalism,
truancy, failing grades, etc.
Eating, weight and body image issues fall under the "acting in" category.
How I Can Help
I offer your children a safe place to explore their feelings - both verbally and non-verbally. We will talk about the stresses in their life - school, family, and friendships - explore the underlying beliefs about themselves and I will work with them reach more adaptive and positive ways to be in the world.Schedule Consultation
