Azmaira Maker, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Self Esteem reflects how we talk to ourselves based on how we see ourselves. You can learn to uplevel the parts of you that are confident and self supportive and quiet the parts of you that are critical or complaining. In the process of this integration you can develop a more solid sense of self.

Wilson Ho Yin Cheh
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
The formation of sense of self is a fascinating process. Yet when there are disruptions, it also can have profound impact in ways how we then relate to the rest of the world. I offer a safe and interactive space for clients to explore their process, and help them realize their full potentials.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic. Many people come to therapy feeling not “good enough,” second-guessing themselves, or feeling stuck in patterns that affect their confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.
In therapy, we explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped how you see yourself, while building greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients understand their emotional patterns and develop a stronger, more grounded sense of self. The goal is to help you move toward greater confidence, authenticity, and a more supportive relationship with yourself.

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.

Pedro F. Baez
Life Coach, LVN, MCC, CHC - Master Certified Coach
What if you could explore, understand and heed the transformative messages your insecurities and your anxiety have for you, in a gentle, loving, revealing way? What if hesitation, low self-esteem, perfectionism and dread were to give way to clarity, inner peace, a focused perspective and a confident outlook? What if you were able to reset your mind to become a joyful, productive, creative workshop where your life projects would take shape and be executed by way of a practical, self-generated, uniquely 'YOU' blueprint?

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.

J. Rosalyn Diehl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPPC, LPC
Self-esteem influences how you see yourself, relate to others, and navigate life's challenges. When self-worth is low, you may struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or constantly seeking validation from others. I help women build confidence, develop a healthier relationship with themselves, and create lasting changes that support greater self-worth, resilience, and emotional well-being.

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.

Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Are you your own biggest critic? Do you hold yourself to impossible standards & beat yourself up when you don't meet them? Do you talk to yourself in ways you'd never speak to someone you love? As a recovering perfectionist, I know how painful & lonely it is to never feel good enough. I use methods such as inner child work to help you develop self-compassion and improve your overall relationship with yourself.

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
What if you saw yourself the way others saw you? Imagine if you could finally feel like you're good enough, doing enough, loved enough. What if you talked to others the way you talked to yourself? How come your inner critic is giving you such a hard time?
Improving the relationship you have with yourself is where therapy often starts.
Let's make sense of the recurring themes in your negative self-talk. You'll practice re-evaluating what your mind's telling you to make sure it's accurate, representative, and helpful for you through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Where did these self-defeating messages come from? How can we reframe them to be more encouraging and reassuring so they stop holding you back?
You'll learn your preferences, your triggers, and how to assert boundaries through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). You'll identify your values and start noticing when people push you to act in ways that contradict what's most important to you through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
This is all figure-out-able.

Often in life, we experience difficult situations, transitions, or changes that can make us feel lost, anxious, and overwhelmed. Therapy should be a process where you have the right to fully express your true authentic self while rising to your fullest potential.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Self-Esteem & Confidence: When self-doubt becomes your inner voice, it can impact every area of your life. You may struggle with people pleasing, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you’re never quite enough despite your accomplishments.
I help clients identify the experiences and beliefs that have shaped their self-image and begin building a stronger foundation of self-worth. Through therapeutic insight, self-compassion practices, and practical strategies, you’ll learn how to challenge limiting beliefs and develop greater confidence in who you are.
The goal isn’t arrogance or perfection. It’s cultivating a deep sense of self-trust that allows you to show up authentically in your relationships, career, and personal life.

Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self esteem is a term often tossed around, but what does it mean? It's learning to take excellent care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually so we can share with our friends and family from our overflow, instead of being selfish and needy. It's the job of adults to take care of ourselves first, so we can take care of others. Sometimes people were raised in families that were very stressed and their was trauma that got in the way of this learning. That's ok. I can help. Learning how to take care of your adult self isn't that difficult and doesn't take much time. Then you just practice and grow.
