Health at Every Size (HAES) therapy is an approach that prioritizes body acceptance and well-being over weight loss goals. It emphasizes that health can be pursued by individuals of all sizes and encourages intuitive eating, joyful movement, and self-compassion. Clients who benefit from HAES therapy often include those struggling with disordered eating, negative body image, or the emotional impacts of societal weight stigma.
This therapeutic approach fosters a positive relationship with food and the body, promoting holistic health rather than focusing solely on appearance. If you’re interested in embracing a healthier mindset and exploring HAES principles, schedule a session with a therapist at Willamette Wellness Center to begin your journey.
