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.

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.

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.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem quietly shapes everything, how we show up in relationships, how we handle conflict, how we talk to ourselves when things go wrong. Therapy helps you understand where those patterns came from and begin replacing them with something healthier. We work with clients to build genuine confidence rooted in self-awareness, self-compassion, and a clearer sense of who they are.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

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.

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may be hard on yourself no matter how much you accomplish. Maybe you question your worth, compare yourself to others, people-please, or rely on outside validation to feel okay. Even when others see your strengths, it can be difficult for you to truly feel them.
Low self-esteem is often rooted in earlier experiences that shaped how you learned to see yourself. In therapy, we’ll explore the beliefs, relational patterns, and nervous system responses that keep self-doubt in place. Over time, you can develop a more grounded sense of worth, stronger boundaries, and a relationship with yourself that feels kinder and more secure.

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.

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.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.
