Self Esteem
Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Low self-esteem can quietly erode your confidence, even when you’re achieving big things—like completing ultras or hitting training goals. You might catch yourself downplaying successes, feeling “not good enough” no matter how hard you train, comparing yourself to others on the trail or in life, or carrying a harsh inner critic that makes every setback feel personal. For endurance athletes, this often shows up as tying your worth to performance, pace, body composition, or external validation.
In our sessions, we gently unpack where these patterns started and work to rebuild a stronger, kinder sense of self. Using CBT to challenge self-critical thoughts, ACT to reconnect with your core values, and DBT skills for self-compassion and emotion regulation, we focus on practical tools that fit your busy athletic lifestyle.
Many clients experience meaningful shifts such as:
Quieting the inner critic and celebrating progress instead of perfection.
Building genuine confidence that isn’t dependent on race results or appearance.
Setting healthier boundaries and speaking to themselves with the same encouragement they’d offer a training partner.
Feeling more worthy of rest, joy, and success—on and off the trails.
Developing a stable sense of self that endures through injuries, DNFs, and life’s ups and downs.
I share practical resources like self-compassion exercises and self-worth journal prompts that we can personalize and use between sessions.
You are already strong—mentally and physically. You deserve to feel that strength in your heart as well as your legs. Together we can help you build lasting self-esteem so you can show up fully, run freely, and finish stronger in every area of life.

Self Esteem
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.
