Rediscover your worth. Define yourself on your own terms.
In a city like Dubai, where image, success, and social comparison can feel overwhelming, it’s easy to question your value or feel like you’re falling short. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, feeling disconnected from who you are, or trying to rebuild confidence after a setback, therapy can help you strengthen your sense of identity and cultivate lasting self-worth. At American Wellness Center, we create a safe space for you to reconnect with yourself.
Who This Is For
- Adults in Dubai dealing with low self-esteem or chronic self-criticism
- Individuals who feel lost, stuck, or unsure about their life direction
- People who constantly compare themselves to others or feel "not good enough"
- Expats navigating cultural identity, personal growth, or belonging
- Adults rebuilding confidence after a breakup, job loss, or major life shift
- Those seeking a deeper sense of purpose or emotional clarity
What We Address
- Low Self-Worth: Persistent feelings of inadequacy or failure
- Imposter Syndrome: Doubting your success or fearing exposure as a "fraud"
- People-Pleasing: Difficulty saying no or prioritizing your own needs
- Identity Confusion: Struggles with knowing who you are or what you want
- Inner Critic & Shame: Harsh self-talk or feeling fundamentally flawed
- Perfectionism: Unrealistic expectations leading to burnout and avoidance
Our Approach to Care
At AWC, we take a compassionate, affirming approach to therapy:
- Self-Esteem-Focused CBT: To challenge negative beliefs and build healthier self-talk
- Narrative Therapy: To help you rewrite your personal story with empowerment and clarity
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT): To foster kindness toward yourself and reduce shame
- Values Exploration: To clarify what truly matters to you and align actions accordingly
- Identity Development Work: For those navigating life transitions or cultural change
- Mindfulness & Grounding Techniques: To stay connected to your present self
Our goal is to help you feel more secure in who you are—without the pressure to be perfect.
The Confidence Struggle Beneath the Surface
Even outwardly successful individuals can feel plagued by self-doubt, perfectionism, or a lost sense of identity. In competitive, image-conscious environments like Dubai, imposter syndrome and low self-esteem are more common than many realize. Studies have shown that self-esteem-focused therapy significantly boosts emotional resilience, assertiveness, and overall well-being, often more effectively than self-help alone.
