Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In addressing the complex issue of self-esteem in my practice, I delve deep into the root causes that underpin feelings of low self-worth, focusing on individuals who, due to their empathetic nature, high sensitivity, or autism, experience the world with intense emotional depth. These unique traits, while profound gifts, can also lead to overwhelming self-criticism, anxiety, and shame, often stemming from an acute awareness of others' emotions and judgments. This heightened sensitivity can culminate in challenges such as difficulty setting boundaries, a propensity towards people-pleasing, and perfectionism, all of which can erode self-esteem and contribute to a sense of burnout and disconnection from one's true self.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the understanding that low self-esteem often arises from these deep-seated patterns of thinking and interacting with the world. By exploring the origins of these feelings—whether they're rooted in childhood experiences, societal expectations, or the intrinsic challenges of navigating life with heightened sensitivity—we embark on a journey of healing and transformation. This process is focused on uncovering and addressing the underlying causes of low self-esteem, moving beyond surface-level solutions to foster lasting change.
Together, we work to develop healthier boundaries, reduce self-criticism, and embrace authenticity, empowering individuals to reclaim their self-worth independently of external validation. The goal is to help those I work with to confidently shine their light, building connections that honor their authentic selves, and to discover a sense of self that is free from overwhelm and self-doubt. This depth-oriented, root cause approach to therapy is about nurturing a strong, resilient sense of self-esteem that supports a life of fulfillment, confidence, and genuine connection, celebrating the unique gifts of sensitivity and empathy as sources of strength and connection.

Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy

I help clients struggling with self-esteem issues by identifying and challenging negative beliefs about themselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work together to address the underlying thoughts that contribute to low self-worth and replace them with healthier, more empowering perspectives. My approach also focuses on building self-compassion and developing the skills necessary to create positive changes in how clients see and value themselves. With these tools, clients gain confidence and a stronger sense of self.

Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
The inner critic is a common obstacle that most people face at some point in their meditation practice. When self-critical thought patterns creep into our mind, we can easily become consumed with feelings of shame that sometimes pushes us towards a relentless striving for self-improvement. As we loosen the grip of self-doubt through the cultivation of self-compassion, the voice of inner wisdom naturally emerges to take its place.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem can affect nearly every aspect of emotional wellbeing, including relationships, decision-making, motivation, and the ability to cope with stress or criticism. Many individuals struggling with self-esteem experience chronic self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, or a persistent sense of inadequacy despite external success or positive feedback from others.
Therapy can help clients better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped their sense of self while developing greater self-awareness, self-compassion, emotional resilience, and confidence. My approach focuses not simply on “feeling better” about oneself temporarily, but on building a more stable, authentic, and internally grounded sense of worth and identity.

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.

Victoria Miller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
With low self-esteem you may often feel shame and self-doubt. Here are some warning signs that may indicate that it's time to seek help in the form of talk therapy:
- You frequently feel overwhelmed, angry, ignored and/or taken advantage of in relationships
- You experience frequent and sudden mood swings
- You frequently have difficulty beginning, completing and/or accomplishing tasks (at work, school, personal or otherwise)
- You frequently feel alone and at a loss as to how to help yourself
- You're constantly trying to “fix,” “do” or “say” the right thing to get people to like you, or agree with you
By using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) I can help you: 1) Identify and understand the source(s) of low self-esteem, 2) Process past negative experiences in a safe, nurturing space, 3) Learn to recognize critical voices that are not your own, 4) Notice “all or nothing” thinking patterns. I can help you learn to use your voice effectively, help you identify what you want and need, recognize unhealthy thought patterns, and make small changes in your day to day life that will add up to big changes in your overall happiness and contentment in life.

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.

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.

We all have a negative belief of self that connects to our experiences in the past affecting how we function in the present. Understanding what is under the surface of these dysfunctional thoughts can help us overcome the negative beliefs that can make it difficult to thrive.

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
