Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Having a poor self-image and thinking negatively about yourself can tear you down. But knowing your worth in Christ and tackling negative messages can lift you up and give you a renewed sense of self-worth. Dealing with past issue and messages that led to the self-esteem can prove beneficial to the client.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have low self-esteem and want to develop a different relationship with yourself, you may be interested in learning more about self-compassion. Self-compassion refers to treating ourself with understanding and kindness during our time of suffering, perceived failing, and when we make mistakes. Self-compassion helps us to break free from the "Are you good enough?" narrative and into ‘What is good for me?’

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
One of my favorite things as a therapist is to see the strengths in others and help them see it within themselves. It's a true honor to be a part of someone's process to help them feel empowered. Working on self-esteem in therapy involves identifying and challenging deep-seated negative beliefs and cognitive distortions. Therapy also helps clients cultivate self-compassion, recognize personal strengths, and break cycles of self-criticism. Therapy for self-esteem aims to change the internal dialogue, build emotional resilience, and foster a healthier, stable, resilient, realistic, and positive self-view.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You have just taken a small, ginormous step in healing your sense of self. To reach out for help is a BIG declaration of "I am worth it," "I can live a freer life, a kinder to myself life." I am so appreciative of your courage at this very moment. Together, we'll reflect on other times you've taken these small, ginormous steps in recognizing your sense of self, as well as, your intrinsic sense of self-worth. We'll get to know the painful, and, the uplifting messages that tend to echo in your mind, body, and spirit. We'll discover the parts of you that are really holding true to these different messages, and, we'll learn new roles for these parts that are more helpful to you now. There will be time for story-telling and for story-rewriting. We'll heal stories known in word memory, as well as, the stories known only in your body. You'll be the director, and I'll be right there with you paving paths, highlighting different options on the journey towards a more confident posture as you live your most genuine life--being known, safely, by yourself and others.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Everyone is unique and worthy as a human being. Unfortunately it can be hard to experience self-worth for a kaleidoscope of reasons, which are often layered. Using an integrated approach that includes parts work (IFS) and EMDR therapy I will help you understand and explore these reasons and underlying needs, meet needs of various parts and increase access to self-esteem.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Low self-esteem can make you feel unworthy, insecure, or constantly second-guessing yourself. Often, it develops from early experiences, criticism, or unrealistic expectations. In therapy, we help clients uncover the root of these beliefs, challenge negative self-talk, and build a stronger, healthier sense of self. Through evidence-based strategies and Christ-centered guidance, you’ll learn to embrace your inherent worth, develop self-compassion, and step into life with confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Struggles with self-esteem often develop from early experiences that shaped how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve. Together we explore the origins of self-criticism, perfectionism, and negative core beliefs. Using trauma-informed and somatic approaches, we work to quiet the inner critic and build a more grounded, stable sense of self-worth that is not dependent on constant achievement or approval.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You Feel “Not Enough”
You may look like you have it all together — capable, caring, successful — yet underneath it all, you’re often questioning yourself. You replay conversations, worry you’ve disappointed someone, or feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. Even small mistakes can feel huge, and compliments are hard to believe. If you’re stuck in cycles of perfectionism, self-criticism, or people-pleasing, I can help you change how you relate to yourself from the inside out.
Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, we’ll uncover the beliefs that fuel low self-worth and learn how to replace them with compassion, confidence, and emotional balance. Together, we’ll work to:
Quiet the inner critic that keeps moving the goalpost
Identify and challenge distorted thoughts about your value and competence
Build emotional resilience so your mood isn’t dependent on others’ approval
Strengthen your sense of identity and confidence in your choices
Experience genuine self-respect — not the temporary kind that fades with praise or performance
You’ll gain tools you can use daily to shift from feeling “not enough” to knowing you are already whole. Therapy becomes less about “fixing yourself” and more about discovering your worth that’s been there all along.
I BELIEVE:
You can be both confident and a work in progress.
Self-compassion creates change faster than self-criticism ever will.
You deserve relationships that mirror your true worth — not your self-doubt.
Confidence is a skill you can learn, not a personality trait you either have or don’t.
Growth happens when we replace judgment with curiosity and kindness.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
When it comes to enhancing self-esteem, hypnotherapy helps by reaching the subconscious mind, where many of our deepest beliefs and perceptions about ourselves are stored. During a hypnotherapy session, clients are guided into a state of deep relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions and affirmations. Hypnotherapy can also help uncover the root causes of low self-esteem and work through them, empowering individuals to build a healthier and more positive self-image, paving the way for greater personal and professional fulfillment. Its holistic approach ensures that the benefits extend beyond mere symptom relief, fostering long-term growth and resilience.

Victoria Miller
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.
