Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals who are struggling with self esteem, self doubt, or a harsh inner critic that affects their relationships, work, and sense of self. Low self esteem can show up as people pleasing, perfectionism, fear of rejection, or feeling like you are never quite enough, even when things appear to be going well on the outside.
In therapy, we focus on understanding where these beliefs developed and how they continue to influence your choices and relationships. I help clients build greater self awareness, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop a more compassionate and balanced relationship with themselves.
Over time, many clients find they are better able to trust themselves, set healthier boundaries, and show up more confidently in their lives and relationships. The goal is not to become someone else, but to strengthen your sense of worth and self respect as you are.

Amazing topic! Our approach is self actualization driven as an amalgam of student directed pedagogies, neurodevelopmental applications or care, attachment/belonging circuit work, polyvagal based, parts work based, intersectional/contextual based...It's an in-house recipe for how we arrive at this, the science is generally working from context/orientation> existential> attachment based>trauma work>situational and relational and adding integrative, functional or bio/neurofeedback care (sometimes administered by others) along the way. With a CPTSD focus, it's about building inner harmony with the parts or different layers of the psyche. We may also honor and work from eastern meditation principles, nature and support for the intuitive.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly — it shows up in the relationships you settle for, the opportunities you talk yourself out of, the relentless inner critic that measures everything you do and finds it lacking. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and challenge the deep-rooted beliefs driving low self-worth, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to build genuine, lasting self-confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more secure sense of identity. Telehealth therapy for self-esteem available across 40+ states.

Nathan Ely, LMFT

We all have a negative belief of self that connects to our experiences in the past affecting how we function in the present. Understanding what is under the surface of these dysfunctional thoughts can help us overcome the negative beliefs that can make it difficult to thrive. My hope is to help people improve their self worth and feel empowered to thrive in any situation.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem can affect nearly every aspect of emotional wellbeing, including relationships, decision-making, motivation, and the ability to cope with stress or criticism. Many individuals struggling with self-esteem experience chronic self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, or a persistent sense of inadequacy despite external success or positive feedback from others.
Therapy can help clients better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped their sense of self while developing greater self-awareness, self-compassion, emotional resilience, and confidence. My approach focuses not simply on “feeling better” about oneself temporarily, but on building a more stable, authentic, and internally grounded sense of worth and identity.

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?’

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Self Esteem reflects how we talk to ourselves based on how we see ourselves. You can learn to uplevel the parts of you that are confident and self supportive and quiet the parts of you that are critical or complaining. In the process of this integration you can develop a more solid sense of self.
