MEET HEATHER MORGAN-SOWADA, PhD, LMFT

At The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Clinic of Iowa, our mission is:"From out of the darkness and into the light. One solution at a time."

​

As a recovering sufferer of BDD I understand just how debilitating this disorder is. I have devoted my career as a Marriage and Family Therapist to treating BDD.

 

As a researcher I have devoted my work to learning more about effective treatment for BDD, especially how to treat BDD through a family systems lens. I strongly believe that together we can find answers that will renew hope and help you feel empowered to change your life and take control of your BDD.

 

I practice Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and recognize that the patient is the expert in their own life. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to find unique solutions to the complex problems endured by sufferers of BDD. I believe focusing on client strengths, not weaknesses, elicits hope and leaves room for meaningful and long lasting change.

 

My training in play therapy has also afforded me the tools to work successfully with young children struggling with symptoms of BDD.
