Size Inclusive Therapy for Body Image and Disordered Eating in Ankeny
Thoughts about food, eating, or your body can take up more space in your life than you want. You may feel caught in self-criticism, uncomfortable eating around others, or tired of having your concerns dismissed because of how your body looks.
Full Heart Family Therapy offers a place for adults to explore body image and eating concerns with respect and compassion. Our size-inclusive approach welcomes people in different bodies and makes room for your lived experience.
Questions about getting started? Contact Mariah at 515-705-0174 or office@fullheartfamilytherapy.com.
Talk about what has been difficult
You may want support with distress about your appearance, shame around eating, rigid expectations about food, or the effect these concerns have on relationships and daily life. Your experience deserves attention even when other people have minimized it.
Therapy can offer space to understand difficult thoughts and feelings, identify what matters to you, and explore ways to respond with greater flexibility and care.
Support that respects your body
Hollie Wilson works with adults and has a particular interest in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns, including the experiences of people in larger bodies. She welcomes LGBTQIA+ clients and people with disabilities.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotion regulation skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Together, you can explore how thoughts, feelings, and expectations affect your choices and practice skills that support your goals.
Explore the right fit for your care
Contact Mariah to discuss whether outpatient therapy at Full Heart fits your needs and to ask about current availability, insurance, and fees. In-person appointments are offered in Ankeny, with telehealth options for clients located in Iowa.
You can request Hollie or ask for help finding a clinician. If you are uncertain how to describe your concerns, you can start with what has been difficult and what you hope will change.
Depending on your needs, your therapist may recommend coordinating with a medical provider, a registered dietitian, or a program offering more intensive support.
