Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
If you have a difficult family member who communicates with anger, contempt, criticism, blaming, or shaming, it can take a huge toll on your self-esteem - especially if you were emotionally abused in childhood. You may have learned to be hard on yourself in an effort to control your own behavior, hoping to avoid the worse pain of being bullied or hurt by a parent or sibling with mental health or addiction issues. Together, we can begin to invite a new inner voice to develop - one that is unfailingly kind, validating, and supportive. As you begin to treat yourself with the respect and care you always needed, something profound may happen. You may find that you really like the person within you who is always so warm and understanding. This is my definition of self-esteem - coming to genuinely like yourself because you treat yourself so well.

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.

If you’re interested in exploring ways to nurture your confidence and develop a healthier sense of self, feel free to reach out. Support is available whenever you’re ready.

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.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

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.

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.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
Most of us learn at some point in our lives that there are pieces of us that will be accepted and pieces that will not. When we struggle to feel accepted and loved for who we are, we often develop low self-esteem that presents in a number of ways, including depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction. I work with clients to decrease shame and increase self-love. I utilize a number of techniques to do this but especially love inner child meditations and reparenting. Please reach out to me if you'd like to learn more!

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Chronic feelings of self-doubt and low self-worth can lead to anxiety, depression, unsatisfying social and romantic relationships, distress at work, and to an exhausting sense of always needing to ‘do more’ or push ourselves to the brink just in order to feel like we’re enough. Our work together can help you to increase your understanding of where these internal drives come from, remain connected to your value while you reach for your ambitions, and improve your ability to view yourself with acceptance and compassion so that you can move through life with greater confidence and resilience.

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if you saw yourself the way others saw you? Imagine if you could finally feel like you're good enough, doing enough, loved enough. What if you talked to others the way you talked to yourself? How come your inner critic is giving you such a hard time?
Improving the relationship you have with yourself is where therapy often starts.
Let's make sense of the recurring themes in your negative self-talk. You'll practice re-evaluating what your mind's telling you to make sure it's accurate, representative, and helpful for you through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Where did these self-defeating messages come from? How can we reframe them to be more encouraging and reassuring so they stop holding you back?
You'll learn your preferences, your triggers, and how to assert boundaries through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). You'll identify your values and start noticing when people push you to act in ways that contradict what's most important to you through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
This is all figure-out-able.
