Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults whose self-esteem has been shaped by years of masking, code-switching, or measuring themselves against corporate, academic, or cultural standards, including neurodivergent adults, first-generation professionals, and Latinx clients navigating cultural identity. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify the specific thought patterns underneath self-doubt and build a more accurate, sustainable sense of your own competence. Many of my clients arrive highly accomplished on paper and privately unconvinced of it, our work together closes that gap. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Struggles with self-esteem often show up as self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or difficulty trusting your own voice. Rather than trying to “think more positively,” we explore the deeper patterns that shaped how you relate to yourself. Through somatic and relational work, you can begin to develop a more grounded sense of worth that feels stable, embodied, and less dependent on external validation.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self-esteem is something everyone struggles with from time to time. My belief is that it comes from childhood messages from both environmental and caregiving factors. I am positive that through talking and working through these factors that patients can find relief and new perspectives on their self-esteem and self-worth

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but inwardly feel like you’re never quite good enough, it chips away at your ability to show up authentically in your life. Maybe you constantly doubt your own decisions, second-guess your value, or wrestle with the fear that others will see through your confidence to your insecurities beneath. Dr. Jenny Shields helps driven professionals rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self-worth through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and narrative approaches. Her highly individualized style supports you in untangling critical self-beliefs, reclaiming your strengths, and moving toward a genuine, resilient self-confidence—one that isn’t dependent on external validation or fleeting success.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
As a therapist specializing in self-esteem building, I help clients reconnect with their inherent worth and challenge the inner critic that distorts their self-image. Low self-esteem often stems from early experiences, societal pressures, or chronic self-doubt—and I guide individuals in rewriting those narratives through compassion, cognitive restructuring, and strengths-based reflection. My approach encourages clients to recognize their value beyond achievements or external validation, fostering a more resilient and authentic sense of self. Confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about embracing who you are, flaws and all.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
The way you see yourself can have a powerful impact on your relationships. When self-worth has been shaped by criticism, rejection, inconsistency, trauma, or difficult relationship experiences, it can become harder to trust yourself, express your needs, set boundaries, or feel secure in your connections with others. You may find yourself people-pleasing, seeking validation, staying in unhealthy relationships, questioning your worth, or feeling like you are never quite enough. I help you understand the experiences that shaped these patterns, develop a stronger sense of self, and build healthier relationships rooted in authenticity, self-respect, and connection.

Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Struggling with self-esteem can leave you feeling not good enough or feelings of frequent comparison. Maybe you have low self-esteem in general. Maybe you struggle with imposter syndrome. Regardless, these patterns often run deep, shaped by past experiences and internalized messages. In therapy, I help you explore where these beliefs come from, build self-compassion, and reconnect with a more confident, grounded sense of who you are.

Self Esteem
Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Systems of oppression impact self-esteem by perpetuating discrimination, marginalization, and negative stereotypes that devalue us based on race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or other identities. These oppressive systems can lead to internalized negative beliefs, chronic stress and diminished self-worth as we constantly face societal messages that undermine their value and abilities. This ongoing marginalization and exclusion contribute to feelings of inferiority, powerlessness and self-doubt, significantly harming self-esteem and overall mental health. My approach to therapy actively works to reduce sexism, racism, classism, ableism, weightism and other exclusionary classes by helping you understand how you have been impacted by these systems and deconstructing the beliefs youhold that perpetuate these exclusionary institutions.

Low self-esteem can quietly shape everything—our choices, our relationships, all the way down to the way we speak to ourselves.

Together, we weave confidence and self-trust into your daily life so you can move through the world with more clarity, courage, and joy.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Over the course of my extensive career working with clients, I have come to recognize a central theme that underpins many psychological conditions: the pervasive belief that one is "not good enough." It's these negative thoughts, deeply ingrained, that often serve as the bedrock of depression and anxiety. Yet, the undeniable truth is that you are inherently perfect and complete just as you are in this very moment. There's no need to strive for greater wealth, slimmer physique, heightened intelligence, or increased affluence to be deserving and inherently worthy.
My approach to bolstering your self-esteem is highly personalized, crafted to align with your unique personality and life circumstances. As a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help you uncover blind spots and confront those negative core beliefs that may be eroding your self-esteem. Together, we embark on the journey of rewiring your brain with more empowering thought patterns. This multifaceted approach may incorporate various therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, thought conditioning, cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, problem-solving strategies, and honing your social skills. Throughout this transformative process, I will impart specific tools and techniques designed to fortify your self-esteem, drawing upon practices such as affirmations, mindfulness, meditation, visualization, and positive self-talk. Our collaborative efforts aim to empower you with heightened self-esteem and a profound sense of self-efficacy, ultimately paving the way for a life filled with inner joy and tranquility.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their low sense of self. I help them to identify strengths, and focus on what is in that person's control in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their self-perception.

One of the most interesting aspects of self-esteem is that it wavers. At times, we stand firm and confident; other times, we may struggle. I can help you develop a daily practice to support a strong sense of self and self-love.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself, how you show up in relationships, and how willing you are to take up space in the world. You may struggle with self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or feeling like you're never "enough." I help individuals rebuild a more compassionate, confident relationship with themselves—one grounded in self-awareness, resilience, and self-worth.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever wondered why you feel like you’re not enough—no matter how hard you try? You accomplish, serve, achieve, and still sense a quiet ache of inadequacy underneath it all. That voice of comparison or guilt keeps whispering, “You should be doing better.”
At Rising Calm Center, we help you understand that voice for what it is—not truth, but a wound. Our Christian counselors walk with you to heal the root causes of shame, perfectionism, and fear, so confidence can grow from the inside out.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend biblical identity work with evidence-based therapies—CBT, ACT, IFS, and somatic calming tools—to help you:
• Silence the inner critic and build self-compassion
• Recognize and rewrite the false stories that fuel insecurity
• Strengthen your sense of worth through God’s truth, not performance
• Cultivate boundaries, resilience, and courage in relationships
• Live with calm assurance instead of constant proving
You were never meant to earn your value—it was given. When you begin to see yourself as God does—chosen, capable, and loved—peace replaces striving, and confidence becomes quiet strength.
If you’re ready to rise above self-doubt and walk in steady assurance, we’re here to help you rediscover your God-given worth.
Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

Self Esteem
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is not something you build by telling yourself better things in the mirror. That is cosmetics. Real self-worth is structural — it comes from having been received by someone who could actually see you, and from learning, over time, to hold yourself with that same steadiness. When that early receiving didn't happen, or happened only conditionally, a person learns to earn their right to exist through performance, through usefulness, through disappearing their own needs. Therapy is not about learning to think more positively. It is about discovering that the part of you that was never good enough was answering a question someone else asked — and that you are allowed to stop answering it.

Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I approach social anxiety through a relational and nervous system lens, recognizing that fear, self-consciousness, and avoidance often develop as protective responses to experiences of feeling unsafe, disconnected, or misunderstood. Therapy focuses on creating a space of relational safety where clients can better understand their responses, build confidence, and gradually develop a greater sense of comfort and connection in relationships and social situations.
