Body Image, Eating Disorders & Self-Esteem in Women

In a culture where appearance often takes center stage, many women silently struggle with body image, eating patterns, and self-worth. Whether you're battling disordered eating or simply tired of the inner criticism, you're not alone. At the American Wellness Center in Dubai, we offer compassionate, culturally aware support to help women heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves.

Who This Is For

This service is ideal for women in Dubai who are:

• Experiencing chronic dissatisfaction with their body or appearance
• Struggling with restrictive eating, binge eating, or emotional eating
• Affected by social media, peer pressure, or cultural ideals of beauty
• Battling low self-esteem, perfectionism, or self-criticism
• Recovering from an eating disorder or disordered eating habits

If these concerns are taking up emotional space in your life, support can help you find relief and reconnect with yourself in healthier ways.

What We Address

Our therapeutic care includes:

• Body Dysmorphia & Negative Body Image: Obsessive thoughts about perceived flaws or appearance
• Anorexia Nervosa: Severe food restriction, intense fear of weight gain, and control around eating
• Bulimia & Binge Eating: Cycles of overeating and purging or shame-filled binge episodes
• Emotional Eating & Food Guilt: Using food to cope with stress or difficult emotions
• Low Self-Esteem & Identity Struggles: Feeling unworthy, invisible, or overly self-critical

Each condition is addressed with a mix of compassion and practical tools to foster emotional healing.

Our Approach

We use evidence-based and holistic methods, such as:

• Individual Therapy (CBT, DBT, ACT): Rewiring negative thought patterns and emotional triggers
• Self-Esteem & Empowerment Coaching: Rebuilding confidence, self-worth, and emotional independence
• Mindful Eating Practices: Developing awareness, acceptance, and healthier eating habits
• Family or Couples Support: Where appropriate, involving loved ones in recovery
• Medical & Nutritional Collaboration: Close partnership with physicians or dietitians when needed

Your journey is never judged, and your care plan is created with your goals, preferences, and cultural background in mind.
