Self Esteem

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.

San Francisco, California therapist: Julie Levin, marriage and family therapist
Self Esteem

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.

San Diego, California therapist: Chris 'Bucky' Bateman, marriage and family therapist
Self Esteem

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.

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.

San Francisco, California therapist: Sarah Jane Thomas, marriage and family therapist
Self Esteem

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.

Long Beach, California therapist: Holly Hall, LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Self Esteem

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.

Santa Cruz, California therapist: Rory Valentine Diller, registered psychotherapist
Self Esteem

Rory Valentine Diller

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
I believe that one of the pathways towards self-discovery, self-empowerment and self-love is through the creative spirit. Creativity, imagination, and self-expression can awaken our soul’s innate power to heal itself. Expressive Arts Therapies (EXA) include the full spectrum of creative mediums (Visual Arts, Illustration, Sculpture, Textiles, Film, Animation, Photography, Performing Arts, Theatre, Dance, Music, etc.) as clinically valuable in therapy. *You don’t have to “be an artist” or “be good at art” to engage with Expressive Arts Therapies. The value of EXA is more about the act of being creative and how it affects your brain functioning, consciousness, self-awareness, and capacity to make new neural pathways, beliefs and thought patterns… It is less about skill-level and conventional aesthetics and more about the heart and soul you give to the process.
