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.

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.

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.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
How we feel about ourselves is the foundation of our lives. It influences our relationships, creativity, work, mood, everything! So many of us are judgmental of ourselves in a way that we wouldn't be towards others. We may critique ourselves and feel we should be different, should be more. All stemming from this belief that we are somehow not enough. If you are willing to look at this pain and connect it to early memories and experiences, we can begin to heal your inner child and help transform your self-worth into a more loving identity.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The way we see ourselves is the lens through which we engage in the world around us. Poor self-esteem and feelings of being broken or inadequate triggers sadness or anxiety. On top of that, though, holding a low opinion of ourselves affects the choices we make, too. We may avoid socializing or putting ourselves out there for a big promotion.
In our work together, we will examine these negative beliefs and improve your relationship with yourself.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Self-esteem and self-worth can often be old negative beliefs and narratives that have been repeated over time by others and with your internal dialogue. Learning self-compassion and practicing the nurture of self-care can help to create a different and more loving relationship with yourself.
