Struggles with self-esteem often develop from early experiences that shaped how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem often begins in environments where your needs, emotions, or identity were dismissed or criticized. Rather than simply boosting your confidence, we explore the roots of self-doubt and gently repair the internal narratives shaped by past experiences. The goal is not perfection, it is self-trust, self-compassion, and a grounded sense of worth.

Self Esteem
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.

Self Esteem
Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Self-esteem is a basic human need. A self is there to be realized and celebrated and not to be aborted and denied. Self-esteem is - in a comprehensive sense - the experience of feeling equal to life and all its challenges.
Self Esteem means to respect myself. But how can I deepen my understanding of self-respect and my resolve to uphold it?
Self-respect provides us honor and happiness, something most of us strive for through all sorts of means. We may try to buy our happiness with new technology, clothes, or vacations. We may try to beautify our bodies in hopes that others will honor us and make us feel loved. Many try to climb to unnecessary heights of material wealth to attract the joy we see missing around us. But those methods usually don’t work. If self-respect forms an important part of how we achieve the happiness and honor we crave, it seems pretty important that we understand it.
I work with the method of Nathaniel Branden and support people in the different 6 pillars of self-esteem. These are: 1. living consciously - 2. self-acceptance - 3. living self-reliantly - 4. asserting oneself - 5. living purposefully - 6. personal integrity.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Low self-esteem isn't a personality trait it's a subconscious program installed early and reinforced over time. Imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt — these are identity-level patterns, not character flaws. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work with high performers in Dallas and virtually to locate the specific belief structures undermining their self-concept and replace them with an identity that matches their actual capability.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, including persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, and a tendency to hold back in relationships or opportunities. Difficulties with self-esteem often develop over time in response to early experiences, expectations, and the roles people have learned to occupy.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand how these inner patterns are organised and what they may be protecting. Rather than trying to build confidence directly, the focus is on exploring how different parts relate to one another and how beliefs about self-worth have formed. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When self-esteem feels low, it shows up everywhere. It changes how you talk to yourself, how you stand in your relationships, and what you believe you deserve in life. We will gently look at the stories you carry about who you are and check if they are actually true or just old habits you picked up along the way. Together we practice treating yourself with the same warmth and patience you would easily give to someone you care deeply about.
