Self Esteem therapists in Winchester, Virginia VA
Self Esteem
Melanie Lewis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
The way you feel about yourself, the way you see yourself, or the way you talk to yourself... It matters! So many clients of mine struggle because they internalized negative messages about themselves that are not actually true. In our work together, I would like to join you to discover the parts of you that exist below the surface. You know they are there but they aren't yet taking up the space they deserve. People may have treated you in a way that made you feel that you were less than. But is it the truth? As we work together, my goal is to help you listen to the soft messages inside that actually dare to question the loud voices. Do I really not deserve better? What if I was worthy? What if I'm missing out on opportunities just because I don't believe in my potential? We'll lean into your strengths to foster experiences that generate confidence and fulfillment. We'll use strategies that help you challenge your own unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so that you start changing the way you think and feel about yourself. It won't happen overnight, but I love seeing the growth in my clients as we work together. It is possible. You can be happy with who you are!

Self Esteem
Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Maybe you have experienced some difficult life events (divorce, anxiety, infidelity, family dynamics) that have caused you to second guess yourself. To think poorly about who you are. To have unkind thoughts of self that seem to surface with no rhyme or reason and interfere with your ability to feel confident. Having an intact, strong sense of self, believing in who you are, and knowing your worth (cliche but true!) are keys to having a healthy self esteem. The good news? Self esteem can be improved. Your view of self can change. I help women reclaim your identity, know who you are on a core level, reframe and change negative thoughts of self, and let go of negative (and untrue!) messages you may have received along the way in life so you feel confident in your skills, abilities, and know what you are willing to tolerate (and not tolerate!) in your relationships.

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.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
How we feel about ourselves often will influence how we see relationships, life satisfaction, and the world around us. When we see ourselves negatively, we tend to put ourselves down and only believe negative appraisals of who we are. Therapy can help challenge that tendency to be self-critical and only see our worst qualities and build a better understanding about our strengths, attributes, and positive characteristics. We can learn how to show ourselves kindness and compassion and this will help us be better people who are able to be resilient and confront the challenges we face in our lives.
