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.

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.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
If your self-esteem feels like it is too low or it yo-yos based on what people say or do around you, then increasing self-compassion and self-love can be really valuable in building self-esteem and confidence for the long-term. Having a healthy self-esteem is important, a more fulfilling and fun way to live, and helpful in drawing in the types of relationships that we long for. Demonstrating having a healthy self-esteem is also a beautiful thing to model when we long for that in our kids too.

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.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Self-esteem is often shaped by far more than confidence alone. It can be deeply influenced by trauma, marginalization, neurodivergence, family messages, culture, ableism, racism, and experiences of feeling unseen, misunderstood, or not enough.
I support in exploring the stories you have inherited or internalized about your worth and begin cultivating a more compassionate, authentic, and grounded relationship with yourself. Our work centers self-trust, self-acceptance, and reconnecting with strengths, values, and identities that may have been obscured beneath years of criticism, survival, or adaptation.
