Body Image Therapy in Utah
When Every Day Feels Like a Battle With Your Reflection
You’re Tired of Feeling This Way
You wake up already bracing for the fight.
Putting on clothes feels like a test you know you’ll fail.
You stare at your closet, try on outfit after outfit, and hate how every single one looks.
By the time you leave for work or class, your mind is full of frustration and shame.
You’re fighting back tears before the day even starts, convinced everyone who looks at you is judging your body.
You tell yourself that if you could eat differently, work out harder, or lose enough weight, things would finally feel okay.
No matter what you try, it doesn’t stick, and you still end up here, stuck in the same loop.
It’s exhausting. It’s constant. And it’s not about vanity.
It’s about wanting to feel okay being seen.
The Real Problem Isn’t Your Body, But It’s the Battle You’ve Been Dragged Into
You’ve been taught to see your worth through how you look.
Every ad, every “before and after,” every offhand comment has told you that confidence is earned through appearance.
So when you look in the mirror and hate what you see, it feels like proof that you’ve failed.
But what if the problem isn’t your body?
What if it’s the world that made you believe you had to fight it every day to be enough?
You don’t have to keep living in that fight.
There’s a Way Out of the Constant Body Criticism
Body image therapy helps you step out of the daily war with your reflection and understand what’s fueling it.
It’s not about convincing yourself to “love your body.”
It’s about learning how to stop letting body thoughts run your entire day.
At Maple Canyon Therapy, together we’ll look at what’s underneath the shame, the pressure, the comparisons, the perfectionism, and find new ways to relate to yourself that aren’t ruled by the mirror.
This isn’t about becoming confident overnight.
It’s about finding relief from the noise in your head so you can start showing up for your life again.
How Body Image Therapy in Utah Works
1. Schedule a Free Consultation
Start with a brief, no-pressure call to see if therapy feels like a good fit.
2. Meet Weekly Online
You’ll have a space to talk about what you’ve been hiding: the thoughts, the guilt, the constant self-criticism, and learn what’s really keeping you stuck.
3. Feel Like Yourself Again
You’ll begin to care less about the number on a tag and more about what actually matters: living your life without the daily body battle.
What’s at Stake If Nothing Changes
If things stay the same, every morning starts the same way, staring at the mirror, feeling defeated before the day even begins.
You’ll keep missing out on moments that matter because of how uncomfortable you feel in your skin.
You’ll keep sitting out of photos, canceling plans, and wondering why everyone else seems free when you feel trapped.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
You deserve a life that isn’t measured by what you look like in a mirror or a pair of jeans.
You’re Allowed to Stop the War
You don’t have to spend one more day tearing yourself apart to feel acceptable.
You can step out of the fight and start living again, not because your body changed, but because your relationship with it did.
It starts with one conversation.

-
Body image therapy helps you understand how your thoughts and feelings about your body developed and how to change the patterns that keep you stuck in shame or comparison.
It’s not about learning to love every part of your body overnight. It’s about creating a more peaceful, respectful relationship with it. -
Many women reach out for body image therapy when they notice things like:
Feeling constantly preoccupied with appearance
Mood changing based on how they feel about their body
Avoiding social events or photos because of body image
Frequent comparison to others
Ongoing attempts to change weight or appearance
Low self-esteem or depression linked to body dissatisfaction
These are signs that body image concerns are taking too much energy, and therapy can help you find a more grounded, peaceful way to relate to your body.
-
No. You don’t have to love your body to start healing your relationship with it. In fact, I don’t suggest that loving your body is actually even our goal in working together.
In therapy, we focus on respect and compassion not necessarily just body positivity. It’s ok if you never feel thrilled about your body or host any “body-positive pep rallies.” The goal isn’t constant love; it’s learning to treat your body with care, respond to it with kindness, and stop spending so much mental energy thinking about it.
Over time, body image therapy can help you quiet the constant self-criticism so you can live more freely without your body taking up so much space in your mind.
-
Yes, body image therapy can help you feel more confident, and less consumed by how you look. Many women I’ve worked with came in feeling frustrated and ashamed after years of trying to “fix” their bodies on their own. Therapy offers a space to understand why those attempts haven’t worked and to begin seeing your body with more respect, not judgment.
It’s possible to look in the mirror without disgust and to think about your body far less than you do now. No matter how long you’ve struggled with body image issues, this doesn’t have to be something you keep living with. Therapy can help you get to the root of your struggle and finally find relief.
-
Yes. Online therapy in Utah is just as effective as in-person therapy for body image work.
It gives you privacy and flexibility, so you can do meaningful work from your own space: no commute, no waiting room.With online counseling, I can work with you wherever you are in Utah, including Salt Lake City, Logan, Provo, St. George, Cedar City, Park City, and everything in between.
-
Yes. Many women who struggle with body image also experience disordered eating or emotional eating. These challenges are deeply connected, and how you feel about your body often shapes how you relate to food.
In therapy, we’ll explore both sides of that connection so you can begin to heal your relationship with food and yourself. If you’re also struggling with eating patterns that feel out of control, you can learn more about my Eating Disorder Therapy services here.
-
If your thoughts about your body affect how you eat, dress, or show up in your life, therapy can help.
Many people seek body image therapy when they notice constant comparison, body checking, or avoiding photos, social events, or mirrors. -
Body image struggles can come from many places: unrealistic beauty standards, trauma, dieting, family messages, or social media.
Therapy helps you unpack where these beliefs started and create new ways to relate to your body that feel more compassionate.
-
Absolutely. You will never catch me suggesting to anyone weight loss as a solution to body image or any emotional struggle.
Body image therapy isn’t about changing your body but it’s about changing how you feel about your body.
Healing is possible at any size, without another diet or exercise plan. -
In therapy, you’ll explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself.
You’ll learn how to separate your worth from your appearance and practice tools to treat your body with more respect, not criticism.
