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.

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.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Everyone is unique and worthy as a human being. Unfortunately it can be hard to experience self-worth for a kaleidoscope of reasons, which are often layered. Using an integrated approach that includes parts work (IFS) and EMDR therapy I will help you understand and explore these reasons and underlying needs, meet needs of various parts and increase access to self-esteem.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Amazing topic! Our approach is self actualization driven as an amalgam of student directed pedagogies, neurodevelopmental applications or care, attachment/belonging circuit work, polyvagal based, parts work based, intersectional/contextual based...It's an in-house recipe for how we arrive at this, the science is generally working from context/orientation> existential> attachment based>trauma work>situational and relational and adding integrative, functional or bio/neurofeedback care (sometimes administered by others) along the way. With a CPTSD focus, it's about building inner harmony with the parts or different layers of the psyche. We may also honor and work from eastern meditation principles, nature and support for the intuitive.

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.

The more confident we feel in our body, mind and spirit the more we can evolve into the best version of ourselves. I am committed to helping you gain a better understanding of yourself while also working with you to be more comfortable with yourself.

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.

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.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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
