Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for body image issues, low self-esteem, negative self-image, shame, and emotional struggles related to appearance, identity, and self-worth. Many individuals experiencing body image concerns struggle with anxiety, self-criticism, perfectionism, comparison, social pressure, or feelings of not being “good enough.” These challenges can affect confidence, relationships, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Body image difficulties are often connected to deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, bullying, criticism, rejection, relationship wounds, or painful life experiences that continue to shape how a person sees themselves. Social media, cultural expectations, and unrealistic standards portrayed in mainstream media can also intensify feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, and emotional distress.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to counseling, helping clients explore and heal the underlying emotional experiences contributing to negative self-image and unhealthy patterns of self-perception. Therapy focuses on helping clients move beyond shame, self-judgment, and unrealistic expectations while developing greater self-acceptance, emotional balance, confidence, and authenticity.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, mindfulness-based strategies, emotional regulation techniques, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support deep and lasting healing. Together, you will explore past experiences, emotional triggers, relationship dynamics, and core beliefs that may be impacting your self-worth and sense of identity today.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and personalized to each client’s unique experiences and goals. Brad provides a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly process emotional pain, strengthen self-awareness, improve self-esteem, and reconnect with who they truly are beyond external pressures and unrealistic standards.
The goal of therapy is not only to reduce emotional distress, but to help clients develop a healthier relationship with themselves, create lasting emotional resilience, and live with greater confidence, peace, and authenticity. Healing is possible, and you can learn to appreciate yourself for who you truly are while building a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, offering confidential and convenient access to professional trauma-focused therapy from the comfort of home.

Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
There is a strong mind-body connection and how someone thinks about their body is intertwined with self-concept, self-worth, and identity which are core issues when working on body image. Social comparison to others and the need for social recognition and approval, in particular, can lead to feelings of low self-worth, obsessive self-criticism, and unrealistic expectations and perceptions about the body. The wrong kinds of social media may perpetuate the vicious cycle. In counseling, I can work with you to build buffers against negative effects of social comparison and external messages. If you find yourself more and more dissatisfied with your body and yourself, and more anxious about your physical appearance, it may be time for counseling to evaluate the these concerns and ways to change them. I will work with you to foster a healthier body image and overall emotional and mental well-being. The social collective has cultivated unrealistic and unachievable expectations which are expressed ubiquitously, we are culturally immersed and it may take significant work to develop a healthy, realistic internal self-perception that can buffer these influences.

Body image impacts your ability to show up in the world and form close relationships with others. This type of work includes exploring how family, societal, and other systems impact your view of yourself.
