Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
The inner critic is a common obstacle that most people face at some point in their meditation practice. When self-critical thought patterns creep into our mind, we can easily become consumed with feelings of shame that sometimes pushes us towards a relentless striving for self-improvement. As we loosen the grip of self-doubt through the cultivation of self-compassion, the voice of inner wisdom naturally emerges to take its place.

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.

The formation of sense of self is a fascinating process. Yet when there are disruptions, it also can have profound impact in ways how we then relate to the rest of the world. I offer a safe and interactive space for clients to explore their process, and help them realize their full potentials.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic. Many people come to therapy feeling not “good enough,” second-guessing themselves, or feeling stuck in patterns that affect their confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.
In therapy, we explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped how you see yourself, while building greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients understand their emotional patterns and develop a stronger, more grounded sense of self. The goal is to help you move toward greater confidence, authenticity, and a more supportive relationship with yourself.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Self-esteem issues is a polite way of talking about shame. Underneath the mean things you say about yourself is shame and fear. I've struggled with this most of my life. The terrible things I used to say about myself always seemed to manifest around me, which kept me trapped. We will work to unwind the web of beliefs you have and find the beauty deep inside.

What if you were able to reset your mind to become a joyful, productive, creative workshop where your life projects would take shape and be executed by way of a practical, self-generated, uniquely 'YOU' blueprint?

David Eshleman
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
If we do not improve and heal our self esteem, we will go throughout life either as a doormat that eventually becomes resentful, or as someone who carries a great deal of rage. Either way, life is not in balance, and this creates more suffering. Healing self-esteem (self respect and admiration) leads to a deep internal shift that frees us to be more authentic, balanced, and whole not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. This leads to better relationships across the board. Many times trauma and attachment is at the root of this. Building con+fidence (to go, with trust), self-love, assertiveness and boundary setting, increases the ability to give and receive love and acceptance.

A harsh inner critic can shape everything from relationships to career. Therapy helps clients notice where those critical voices come from and learn to respond differently, building confidence without slipping into arrogance.

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.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Self-Esteem & Confidence: When self-doubt becomes your inner voice, it can impact every area of your life. You may struggle with people pleasing, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you’re never quite enough despite your accomplishments.
I help clients identify the experiences and beliefs that have shaped their self-image and begin building a stronger foundation of self-worth. Through therapeutic insight, self-compassion practices, and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to challenge limiting beliefs and develop greater confidence in who you are.
The goal isn’t arrogance or perfection. It’s cultivating a deep sense of self-trust that allows you to show up authentically in your relationships, career, and personal life.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Self-Esteem is such a difficult thing to work on for people. We are always our own worst critics. We tell ourselves so many negative things about ourselves if we have low self-esteem. It affects our relationships with others. It is important to recognize the value in improving your self-esteem and I can assist you in that process. It is not about saying phony things, it's about understanding the core issues that contribute to your low self-esteem. From there, we can build your self-esteem from the ground up.

Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
I believe that one of the pathways towards self-discovery, self-empowerment and self-love is through the creative spirit. Creativity, imagination, and self-expression can awaken our soul’s innate power to heal itself. Expressive Arts Therapies (EXA) include the full spectrum of creative mediums (Visual Arts, Illustration, Sculpture, Textiles, Film, Animation, Photography, Performing Arts, Theatre, Dance, Music, etc.) as clinically valuable in therapy.
*You don’t have to “be an artist” or “be good at art” to engage with Expressive Arts Therapies. The value of EXA is more about the act of being creative and how it affects your brain functioning, consciousness, self-awareness, and capacity to make new neural pathways, beliefs and thought patterns… It is less about skill-level and conventional aesthetics and more about the heart and soul you give to the process.

Ross Kellogg, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Individual, Marriage, and Family Therapist (LMFT)
Self-Esteem is closely connected to our values and behavior. Therapy can help you identify how your daily habits may be breaking down a healthy sense of self and how to replace those habits. Approaches I use to accomplish this work include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
