Therapy for Teen Body Image & Self-Esteem Concerns
BODY IMAGE & SELF-ESTEEM CONCERNSSupporting Teens in Developing Confidence and a Healthy Self-Image.
Many teens struggle with self-esteem, body image, or confidence, which can affect their social life, school, and overall well-being. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space where teens can explore these concerns, understand how they impact daily life, and learn practical strategies to build self-confidence and a positive sense of self.

Frequently critical of their appearance or abilities
Avoiding social situations or activities due to self-consciousness

Experiencing anxiety or low mood related to body image or performance

How Therapy Helps
Therapy provides teens with strategies tailored to their unique experiences and challenges. Teens learn to challenge negative self-talk, develop healthier body image perspectives, and practice self-compassion. Evidence-based therapeutic strategies can be used to guide this work, helping teens overcome their fears and build confidence in everyday life. Parents are an important part of the process and working with the therapist may further support their teen’s growth and reinforce these skills at home.
