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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you're reading this you're probably wanting to feel better about how you look. You might not like my approach then, because my approach is to help you feel better about how you feel.
Instead of taking a cognitive approach to adjust your thinking about self-image, we can take a somatic approach, working with the charge of discomfort that can come up around body stuff, and finding ways to lower the intensity of that charge.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Body image struggles are rarely just about appearance—they are often rooted in messages from culture, family, and trauma. I create a safe space to untangle shame, comparison, and disconnection from your body. Through somatic awareness and culturally centered conversations, we work toward body respect, intuitive eating, and freedom from the weight of external expectations.
