Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a condition where you can’t stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance—a flaw that to others is either minor or not visible at all. This preoccupation can feel all-consuming and cause severe emotional distress. Our team provides a safe, non-judgmental space to address these concerns and help you see yourself with more compassion and clarity.

Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:

• Preoccupation with one or more perceived defects or flaws in physical appearance that are not observable or appear slight to others.
• Performance of repetitive behaviors (e.g., mirror checking, excessive grooming, skin picking, reassurance seeking) or mental acts (e.g., comparing one’s appearance with that of others) in response to the appearance concerns.
• The preoccupation causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
• Frequent comparisons of one’s appearance with that of others.
