Self Esteem
Centers for Counseling and Wellness, Int'l
Psychologist, PhD
So many of us are walking around with a running commentary in our heads that we would never say to someone we love. You are not good enough. You do not deserve that. Who do you think you are? That inner critic can be relentless, and over time it shapes the choices you make, the relationships you accept, and the dreams you talk yourself out of before you even try.
You deserve better than that voice. And you do not have to keep living by its rules.
At CCW International, rebuilding self-esteem is at the heart of so much of the work we do. For the women we serve, low self-worth often shows up as over-apologizing, shrinking in rooms where they belong, staying in situations that do not honor them, or tying their value entirely to what they produce or who they take care of. For our veteran clients, it can look like struggling to see their own worth outside of their rank, their role, or their service.
Wherever your self-esteem story began, we help you rewrite it. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we help you challenge the beliefs that have held you back, reconnect with your inherent worth, and start showing up in your own life with the confidence and self-compassion you have always deserved.
You are enough. We just want to help you feel it.

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.

Mary W. Prentiss
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I help children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with self-doubt, comparison, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or feeling like they aren't “good enough.” Together, we explore the beliefs and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and work toward developing a more compassionate and confident relationship with yourself.
Therapy can help you recognize your strengths, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, set healthier boundaries, and build confidence that isn't dependent on comparison or outside validation.

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.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have been struggling with self-esteem issues and the challenges that this can lead to in their mood, relationships, sense of competence at school or work, and sense of identity. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming to many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.
