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.

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.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In addressing the complex issue of self-esteem in my practice, I delve deep into the root causes that underpin feelings of low self-worth, focusing on individuals who, due to their empathetic nature, high sensitivity, or autism, experience the world with intense emotional depth. These unique traits, while profound gifts, can also lead to overwhelming self-criticism, anxiety, and shame, often stemming from an acute awareness of others' emotions and judgments. This heightened sensitivity can culminate in challenges such as difficulty setting boundaries, a propensity towards people-pleasing, and perfectionism, all of which can erode self-esteem and contribute to a sense of burnout and disconnection from one's true self.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the understanding that low self-esteem often arises from these deep-seated patterns of thinking and interacting with the world. By exploring the origins of these feelings—whether they're rooted in childhood experiences, societal expectations, or the intrinsic challenges of navigating life with heightened sensitivity—we embark on a journey of healing and transformation. This process is focused on uncovering and addressing the underlying causes of low self-esteem, moving beyond surface-level solutions to foster lasting change.
Together, we work to develop healthier boundaries, reduce self-criticism, and embrace authenticity, empowering individuals to reclaim their self-worth independently of external validation. The goal is to help those I work with to confidently shine their light, building connections that honor their authentic selves, and to discover a sense of self that is free from overwhelm and self-doubt. This depth-oriented, root cause approach to therapy is about nurturing a strong, resilient sense of self-esteem that supports a life of fulfillment, confidence, and genuine connection, celebrating the unique gifts of sensitivity and empathy as sources of strength and connection.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem can permeate every area of your life—affecting your relationships, career decisions, daily interactions, and overall sense of fulfillment. When you struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, or feelings of inadequacy, it becomes difficult to pursue your goals, set healthy boundaries, or believe you deserve good things.
I help clients understand and transform their relationship with themselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll identify the negative thought patterns and core beliefs that undermine your self-worth—those critical inner voices that tell you you're not good enough, capable enough, or worthy enough. Together, we'll challenge these distorted beliefs and replace them with more balanced, compassionate perspectives grounded in reality. My goal is to help you develop genuine self-confidence, practice self-compassion, and recognize your inherent worth. You'll learn practical skills to quiet your inner critic, celebrate your strengths, and build a healthier, more authentic relationship with yourself.

DL, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CCTP
I specialize in self-esteem therapy for adults struggling with low self-confidence, chronic self-doubt, perfectionism, and negative self-talk. Many high-functioning individuals experience persistent feelings of inadequacy despite external success. In therapy, I help clients develop self-worth that is not tied to productivity, achievement, or external validation. This work supports increased emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure sense of self. The goal is lasting self-trust and confidence rooted in self-understanding rather than performance.

Most of us have an internal critical voice we have to contend with. For some people, that critic rules their lives. I like to help people reduce the impact of that inner critic and increase their self-compassion.

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.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Struggles with self-esteem often have deep developmental roots. Early attachment experiences, criticism, or unmet emotional needs can shape how we relate to ourselves. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, and Emotionally Focused principles to help clients understand where self-doubt, shame, or perfectionism began.
Together, we work with the parts of you that carry harsh self-criticism or fear of rejection, while strengthening your core Self—your natural capacity for confidence, clarity, and compassion. Therapy supports lasting change by fostering secure internal attachment and a more grounded sense of worth.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Self-Esteem issues can affect a wide range of ages, most commonly, from teenagers to young adults. It is surprisingly a common problem among many women. I work with Feminisms' perspectives, especially when I work with females in my treatment. I take the empowerment of female clients in treatment seriously as it is a critical component of becoming a self-agent to protect and further develop self as well as how we feel about ourselves.
