Self Esteem therapists in West Columbia, South Carolina SC
Self Esteem
Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Do you often feel awkward and self-conscious in social settings? Are you constantly comparing yourself to others and finding you never measure up?
Self-esteem is a concept that speaks to how we feel about ourselves. When one has high self-esteem, they feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often feel critical of themselves and are unworthy of love or praise.
Having a knowledgeable and supportive therapist in your corner can help you develop a healthier and more realistic sense of self. He or she will help you connect the dots in your life, discover where your low self-esteem came from, and provide tools so you can absolve your negative beliefs and critical self-talk and replace them with self-love and self-compassion.
If you suffer from low self-esteem and would like to explore treatment options, please reach out to me.

Self Esteem
Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a compassionate journey toward self-discovery and self-esteem building. I understand the silent struggles that come with low self-worth — the doubts, the internal criticisms, and the fear of not being 'enough.' With a heart full of empathy and understanding, I guide my clients to gently peel back the layers of their self-perception, revealing the unique and intrinsic value of each person. Together, we work to transform negative self-talk into empowering affirmations, turning personal challenges into opportunities for growth. This journey is about more than just feeling better about oneself; it's about embracing and celebrating your true self, unleashing the confidence and self-love that has always been there, waiting to be acknowledged and flourished.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self Esteem has numerous ways that it can become a struggle; maybe it’s a lack of confidence, maybe it’s not believing you deserve good things, maybe it’s less noticeable ways that you forget to take care of yourself, and sometimes it’s a doubt that underneath it all, there is a self that exists, let alone deserves esteem. As a psychologist specializing in building deeper connection to one’s self, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to open shame-free spaces and explore who you are and who you want to be. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our sense of self is formed or disrupted by our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.
