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.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
The way you see yourself can have a powerful impact on your relationships. When self-worth has been shaped by criticism, rejection, inconsistency, trauma, or difficult relationship experiences, it can become harder to trust yourself, express your needs, set boundaries, or feel secure in your connections with others. You may find yourself people-pleasing, seeking validation, staying in unhealthy relationships, questioning your worth, or feeling like you are never quite enough. I help you understand the experiences that shaped these patterns, develop a stronger sense of self, and build healthier relationships rooted in authenticity, self-respect, and connection.

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!

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.

Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
You might appear confident on the outside, but internally struggle with self-doubt, overthinking, or feeling like you're never quite "enough." Many clients share that they are their own harshest critic, constantly comparing themselves or questioning their worth. In therapy, we'll gently unpack where these beliefs came from and how they've been reinforced over time. Our goal is to help you develop a more grounded, compassionate relationship with yourself, one that isn't dependent on perfection or external validation.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever wondered why you feel like you’re not enough—no matter how hard you try? You accomplish, serve, achieve, and still sense a quiet ache of inadequacy underneath it all. That voice of comparison or guilt keeps whispering, “You should be doing better.”
At Rising Calm Center, we help you understand that voice for what it is—not truth, but a wound. Our Christian counselors walk with you to heal the root causes of shame, perfectionism, and fear, so confidence can grow from the inside out.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend biblical identity work with evidence-based therapies—CBT, ACT, IFS, and somatic calming tools—to help you:
• Silence the inner critic and build self-compassion
• Recognize and rewrite the false stories that fuel insecurity
• Strengthen your sense of worth through God’s truth, not performance
• Cultivate boundaries, resilience, and courage in relationships
• Live with calm assurance instead of constant proving
You were never meant to earn your value—it was given. When you begin to see yourself as God does—chosen, capable, and loved—peace replaces striving, and confidence becomes quiet strength.
If you’re ready to rise above self-doubt and walk in steady assurance, we’re here to help you rediscover your God-given worth.
Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
Maybe you don't feel very confident, aren't very nice to yourself or you just don't take very good care of yourself. I will do a comprehensive assessment process to really get to know all of the relevant information and then will design a plan with your input to look at how you can change your self-talk for the better as well as how you can set and maintain better boundaries, enabling you to feel good about yourself in a way that doesn't rely on external validation.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
