Self Esteem
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.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my approach to supporting clients with self-esteem issues, I create a warm and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore and understand the roots of their feelings towards themselves. Incorporating a blend of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic techniques, such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I guide clients on a journey towards self-acceptance and confidence. This comprehensive method not only addresses the immediate challenges related to self-esteem but also fosters a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-compassion. By working together to identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier ways of relating to oneself, clients can build a more positive self-image and enhance their overall quality of life. My role is to support and empower you through this process of self-discovery, providing the tools and insights to establish a positive self-acceptance.

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy

We all have an inner voice, but for some that voice can be overwhelmingly negative and self-critical. Hypnotherapy can be used to "flip the script", teaching you tools to turn negative self-talk into powerful self-motivation.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
Most of us learn at some point in our lives that there are pieces of us that will be accepted and pieces that will not. When we struggle to feel accepted and loved for who we are, we often develop low self-esteem that presents in a number of ways, including depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction. I work with clients to decrease shame and increase self-love. I utilize a number of techniques to do this but especially love inner child meditations and reparenting. Please reach out to me if you'd like to learn more!

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults - especially women - on feeling good about who we are as a person and the bodies we live in. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (and how they interact to impact our self esteem) is incredibly empowering, and an essential part of my therapy practice. I provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy to boost and maintain your confidence as well.
I am passionate about providing a safe and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Self-Esteem is closely connected to our values and behavior. Therapy can help you identify how your daily habits may be breaking down a healthy sense of self and how to replace those habits. Approaches I use to accomplish this work include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

June Dean-Villatoro

Self Esteem
Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Therapy has helped me learn how to trust myself despite expectations from family, friends, and culture. The weight of societal pressures may cause us to doubt ourselves and second-guess our decisions. As you connect more deeply with who you are, your own self awareness will inspire confidence and clarity in your values, desires, and boundaries. This awareness acts as our anchor when our self esteem is challenged. My hope is to provide a safer place for you to cultivate that deeper connection with yourself. Call or email me today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.

The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Certified Neurofeedback
Self esteem is rooted in the development of our identity when we are very young. We get stuck seeing ourselves in a limited and often very cruel way. With mindful tools and coaching we can begin to get at those roots and work with them to grow and change.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Self Esteem reflects how we talk to ourselves based on how we see ourselves. You can learn to uplevel the parts of you that are confident and self supportive and quiet the parts of you that are critical or complaining. In the process of this integration you can develop a more solid sense of self.

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.

Jessica Thompson
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.
