Therapy for Body Image,
Shame, & Self-Esteem
For many, the struggle with body image and weight has been a lifelong burden tied to shame, comparison, and the exhausting cycles of dieting or self-criticism.
You may feel like no matter what you try, it’s never enough, and deep down, you’re left wondering if you’ll ever feel at peace with yourself.
Therapy offers a space to step out of these cycles, reconnect with your body, and rediscover a sense of worth that isn’t defined by appearance or numbers.
Do you feel…?
Like you’ve struggled with weight and body image for much of your life, only to feel stuck in cycles of shame and self-criticism?
Disconnected from yourself - holding it together on the outside while quietly falling apart inside?
Like you’re always bracing for what’s next, fixing, smoothing things over, yet deep down, feeling numb or far from joy?
Like you’ve learned to over-function and put others first, but now feel exhausted and unsure of who you really are?
Walking on eggshells in a relationship, grieving a life you thought you’d have, or wondering how you lost yourself along the way?
Disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in cycles of self-criticism? You may even find yourself asking: “I’ve done everything right… so why do I still feel this way?”
You don’t have to navigate these struggles alone.
What is Possible?
Many clients arrive in survival mode, looking fine on the outside, while inside, there’s exhaustion, self-doubt, and a longing for something more. With the right support, new possibilities begin to emerge…
With Support, you can:
Make peace with your body
→ move through the world with more ease and confidence
Quieter the inner critic
→ soften harsh self-talk and relate to yourself with compassion
Strengthen self-worth and self-trust
→ advocate for your needs and trust your voice
Ease overwhelm and overthinking
→ respond with more calm and clarity
set boundaries without guilt
→ speak up and honor your needs with respect
Create more fulfilling relationships
→ show up more honestly and freely, without fear
Hi! I’m Anita.
I’m so glad you found your way here.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and the Co-founder of Bountiful Health.
Life’s hardest moments can leave you overwhelmed, disconnected, or weighed down by stress, shame, and self-doubt. But with the right support, life can feel lighter, freer, and more grounded.
At Bountiful Health, I keep my caseload intentionally small so you’re never just another appointment on the calendar. Here, therapy is personal, private, and never rushed; a boutique, concierge-style experience where you’re truly seen.
This is a space for real connection. A place to slow down, be met with presence, and begin the process of change with compassion rather than pressure.

Why Boutique & Concierge Therapy?
Not all therapy feels the same. Larger clinics and mental health apps can leave you feeling like just another name. Boutique and concierge therapy offers something different:
-More presence – smaller caseloads mean deeper focus on you
-Personalized care – every session tailored, never one-size-fits-all
-Privacy – your story held with discretion and respect
-Flexibility & responsiveness – responsive scheduling and attunement to your pace
This is therapy that’s attentive, deeply personal, and centered entirely on you.
Whatever you’re carrying, whether it’s clear or hard to name, there’s room for it here.
The following are some of the challenges we help clients navigate with care, presence, and deep respect for their story.
