Self Esteem
Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
I believe that one of the pathways towards self-discovery, self-empowerment and self-love is through the creative spirit. Creativity, imagination, and self-expression can awaken our soul’s innate power to heal itself. Expressive Arts Therapies (EXA) include the full spectrum of creative mediums (Visual Arts, Illustration, Sculpture, Textiles, Film, Animation, Photography, Performing Arts, Theatre, Dance, Music, etc.) as clinically valuable in therapy.
*You don’t have to “be an artist” or “be good at art” to engage with Expressive Arts Therapies. The value of EXA is more about the act of being creative and how it affects your brain functioning, consciousness, self-awareness, and capacity to make new neural pathways, beliefs and thought patterns… It is less about skill-level and conventional aesthetics and more about the heart and soul you give to the process.

Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
I help individuals who struggle with low self-esteem with an evidence-based approach called Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). It combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion and provides a powerful tool for emotional resilience. Over a thousand research studies have demonstrated that people who are more self-compassionate experience less depression, anxiety, stress, and shame and more happiness, life satisfaction, self-confidence, and physical health. Together, we can work on increasing your ability to relate to yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would show to a good friend.

Michelle VanderJagt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Struggling with low self esteem can be exhausting and disorienting. Many of our attempts to 'fix' it barely make a dent and all the positive affirmations and quotes in the world sound false and fall flat. Real self love is the goal and a healthy self esteem starts there.

Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Are you your own biggest critic? Do you hold yourself to impossible standards & beat yourself up when you don't meet them? Do you talk to yourself in ways you'd never speak to someone you love? As a recovering perfectionist, I know how painful & lonely it is to never feel good enough. I use methods such as inner child work to help you develop self-compassion and improve your overall relationship with yourself.
