Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for self-esteem issues, including low self-worth, self-doubt, chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, and difficulty feeling confident or “good enough,” even when supported by others. These struggles can affect relationships, career confidence, decision-making, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to self-esteem counseling, helping clients understand the underlying emotional experiences, past trauma, and relational patterns that often contribute to negative self-beliefs. Many self-esteem challenges are not simply about confidence, but about deeper wounds formed through past experiences, attachment dynamics, criticism, neglect, or emotional invalidation.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process underlying experiences and shift long-standing negative beliefs about themselves. Therapy focuses on reducing shame, increasing self-awareness, and building a more stable and compassionate sense of identity.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating.
The goal of therapy is not only to improve confidence, but to support lasting change in how clients view themselves and their place in the world. Through this process, clients can develop greater emotional resilience, authenticity, and self-trust.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond self-doubt and develop a stronger, more grounded, and more secure sense of self-worth and identity.

Self Esteem
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with self-esteem, you may find yourself doubting your worth, second-guessing your decisions, or relying on others’ approval to feel okay about yourself. You might be highly capable, yet still feel “not good enough,” focusing on your mistakes while discounting your strengths. Over time, this can affect your confidence, relationships, and willingness to go after what you truly want.
I help clients build a stronger, more stable sense of self that doesn’t depend on constant external validation. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the negative thought patterns and beliefs that undermine your confidence. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to change the internal dialogue and emotional responses that reinforce self-doubt. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you take action in alignment with your values, even when confidence isn’t fully in place.
What’s often missing isn’t ability—you likely already have the skills and qualities needed to succeed. What’s missing is an internal foundation of self-trust and a way to interrupt the automatic self-criticism that keeps you feeling small or uncertain. Without that shift, self-doubt continues to influence how you think, feel, and act.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to see yourself differently. If you’re willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you develop greater self-confidence, reduce self-doubt, and build a more secure, consistent sense of self.

Dr. Hina Siddiqui; Insights Psychology
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP, LP
Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the choices you make. I work with individuals who struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, and feeling “not good enough,” often despite being capable and accomplished. Therapy focuses on understanding where these patterns developed, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and building a more compassionate and realistic self-view. Through practical, evidence-based strategies, clients learn to strengthen confidence, set healthier boundaries, and develop a sense of self-worth that is stable, authentic, and not dependent on external validation.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
In my sessions as a therapist, I often utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients build self-esteem by encouraging them to embrace their thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions aligned with their values. Additionally, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) allows us to explore and challenge negative thought patterns, fostering a healthier self-perception for individuals. I also integrate culturally sensitive, person-centered, and relational approaches to tailor the treatment to clients' unique cultural background and interpersonal dynamics, ensuring a holistic and effective therapeutic experience.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Low self-esteem often manifests as a persistent inner critic, chronic people-pleasing, and the habit of evaluating your entire worth based on external validation. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and acceptance-based strategies, I help individuals identify and dismantle deep-seated, negative core beliefs. Our clinical work focuses on shifting from harsh self-criticism to objective self-appraisal, building healthy boundaries, and establishing a resilient, internal foundation of self-worth that is independent of performance.

Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.
