Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
We all have a negative belief of self that connects to our experiences in the past affecting how we function in the present. Understanding what is under the surface of these dysfunctional thoughts can help us overcome the negative beliefs that can make it difficult to thrive. My hope is to help people improve their self worth and feel empowered to thrive in any situation.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Do you struggle to get out of your own head? Do people say, "you're too hard on yourself"? Is there a role you're afraid to apply for, a relationship you're afraid to pursue, or a leap you're hesitant to take? Building self-esteem is not about accomplishing more "to do's" on your checklist--that only builds situational confidence. Building self-esteem is really about removing the beliefs and blockages that keep you from experiencing your intrinsic value. Simply put, (like the statue of David) it's not about adding, it's about removing. Together we will explore what has led to the lack of self-esteem and work to get remove the beliefs that keep you from feeling confident and fulfilled.

Sandra Davis
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I focus on establishing a balance of self-esteem. Low self esteem can lead to depression, or abusive/toxic situations and relationships. High self-esteem can lead to a sense of entitlement and inability to learn from failure.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC, PPS
If your self-esteem feels like it is chronically too low or it yo-yos based on what people say or don't say to you, increasing self-compassion and self-love can be valuable in building self-esteem and confidence for the long-term. Having a healthy self-esteem is important, a more fulfilling way to live, and essential in drawing in the types of relationships that we so often long for.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In addressing the complex issue of self-esteem in my practice, I delve deep into the root causes that underpin feelings of low self-worth, focusing on individuals who, due to their empathetic nature, high sensitivity, or autism, experience the world with intense emotional depth. These unique traits, while profound gifts, can also lead to overwhelming self-criticism, anxiety, and shame, often stemming from an acute awareness of others' emotions and judgments. This heightened sensitivity can culminate in challenges such as difficulty setting boundaries, a propensity towards people-pleasing, and perfectionism, all of which can erode self-esteem and contribute to a sense of burnout and disconnection from one's true self.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the understanding that low self-esteem often arises from these deep-seated patterns of thinking and interacting with the world. By exploring the origins of these feelings—whether they're rooted in childhood experiences, societal expectations, or the intrinsic challenges of navigating life with heightened sensitivity—we embark on a journey of healing and transformation. This process is focused on uncovering and addressing the underlying causes of low self-esteem, moving beyond surface-level solutions to foster lasting change.
Together, we work to develop healthier boundaries, reduce self-criticism, and embrace authenticity, empowering individuals to reclaim their self-worth independently of external validation. The goal is to help those I work with to confidently shine their light, building connections that honor their authentic selves, and to discover a sense of self that is free from overwhelm and self-doubt. This depth-oriented, root cause approach to therapy is about nurturing a strong, resilient sense of self-esteem that supports a life of fulfillment, confidence, and genuine connection, celebrating the unique gifts of sensitivity and empathy as sources of strength and connection.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
With low self-esteem you may often feel shame and self-doubt. Here are some warning signs that may indicate that it's time to seek help in the form of talk therapy:
- You frequently feel overwhelmed, angry, ignored and/or taken advantage of in relationships
- You experience frequent and sudden mood swings
- You frequently have difficulty beginning, completing and/or accomplishing tasks (at work, school, personal or otherwise)
- You frequently feel alone and at a loss as to how to help yourself
- You're constantly trying to “fix,” “do” or “say” the right thing to get people to like you, or agree with you
By using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) I can help you: 1) Identify and understand the source(s) of low self-esteem, 2) Process past negative experiences in a safe, nurturing space, 3) Learn to recognize critical voices that are not your own, 4) Notice “all or nothing” thinking patterns. I can help you learn to use your voice effectively, help you identify what you want and need, recognize unhealthy thought patterns, and make small changes in your day to day life that will add up to big changes in your overall happiness and contentment in life.
