Erica McArn
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self-esteem is an intrinsic self-evaluation and internal labeling of an individual's subjective self-worth. Low self-esteem can have significant negative effects in a person's life and lead to many difficulties from challenges in interpersonal relationships to issues navigating social situations. I work closely with clients utilizing an eclectic approach to explore self-worth, promote positive self-talk/affirmations, and develop goals around improving self-esteem.

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.

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.
