Self Esteem
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We all receive messaging about who we are and what we can achieve. Some of that messaging has been internalized. we have all internalized messages that have influenced how we see ourselves and how we interact with our world. Some of it is accurate and some of it is not... some messaging is helpful, but only for a season... some messaging needs to be updated. The messages that have been communicated to us about ourselves will be examined to determine their proper place in our lives.

Self Esteem
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I address issues of self-esteem with a compassionate and faith-based approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward a healthier sense of self-worth. Recognizing the significance of understanding one's identity in Christ, I incorporate biblical teachings on love, purpose, and the inherent value of each person. Through therapy sessions that may include prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on God's perspective, I collaborate with individuals to explore the root causes of low self-esteem and develop strategies for building a positive self-image. Encouraging reliance on God's unconditional love and acceptance, I empower individuals to overcome negative thought patterns and embrace their true identity within the context of their Christian faith, fostering a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence.

Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
In my sessions as a therapist, I often utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients build self-esteem by encouraging them to embrace their thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions aligned with their values. Additionally, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) allows us to explore and challenge negative thought patterns, fostering a healthier self-perception for individuals. I also integrate culturally sensitive, person-centered, and relational approaches to tailor the treatment to clients' unique cultural background and interpersonal dynamics, ensuring a holistic and effective therapeutic experience.
