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.

Hilary Stokes
Therapist, PHD, LCSW
Self esteem comes from our beliefs about ourselves which are often deeply rooted in past experiences. Accessing and changing these beliefs requires going beyond practicing affirmations and talking about how we feel. We have to access our subconscious beliefs, address where they came from and change them. I have found a mind body approach using EMDR, brainspotting and somatic therapy are highly effective at doing just that.

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.

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.

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.

Self esteem is rooted in the development of our identity when we are very young. We get stuck seeing ourselves in a limited and often very cruel way. With mindful tools and coaching we can begin to get at those roots and work with them to grow and change.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience and received my Ph.D. from University of Michigan in both the child and adult tracks. Self esteem is a core area of wellness that is addressed across the therapeutic process. Negative beliefs, false assumptions, core beliefs of failure and inability, shame, isolation, and identity issues are organically incorporated in the therapy sessions. We utilize cognitive-behavioral, behavioral, family systems, coaching, and expressive arts to empower you and enhance self-esteem.

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

Su Boudreau, LMFT
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.
