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.

When your inner critic takes over, it can be hard to see yourself clearly. I help clients shift from self-doubt to self-compassion by uncovering old stories and learning to relate to themselves with warmth, respect, and confidence.

Rima Danielle Jomaa
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-worth shows up everywhere — in how you speak to yourself, who you allow in your life, and how much you believe you deserve. With 17 years of clinical experience, I help clients dismantle the deep subconscious patterns that keep confidence out of reach using CBT, inner child work, and hypnotherapy. We build self-trust that actually holds — not the kind that depends on external validation.

Nadia Padurets
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT/LPCC
Everyone deserves to feel confident and at peace within themselves. Yet for many, self-doubt, negative self-talk, or past experiences can make it hard to recognize your own worth. The good news is that self-esteem can be rebuilt — and therapy can help you discover the strengths, resilience, and value you already carry.
In our work together, we’ll focus on quieting harsh inner critics, replacing self-doubt with self-compassion, and creating healthier patterns that support confidence and growth. With evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy, I’ll support you in building a stronger, kinder relationship with yourself — one that allows you to feel more fulfilled and empowered in your daily life.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
If you have low self-esteem and want to develop a different relationship with yourself, you may be interested in learning more about self-compassion. Self-compassion refers to treating ourself with understanding and kindness during our time of suffering, perceived failing, and when we make mistakes. Self-compassion helps us to break free from the "Are you good enough?" narrative and into ‘What is good for me?’

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Do you struggle to get out of your own head? Do people say, "you're too hard on yourself"? Is there a role you're afraid to apply for, a relationship you're afraid to pursue, or a leap you're hesitant to take? Building self-esteem is not about accomplishing more "to do's" on your checklist--that only builds situational confidence. Building self-esteem is really about removing the beliefs and blockages that keep you from experiencing your intrinsic value. Simply put, (like the statue of David) it's not about adding, it's about removing. Together we will explore what has led to the lack of self-esteem and work to get remove the beliefs that keep you from feeling confident and fulfilled.

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.

Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Self-esteem is a basic human need. A self is there to be realized and celebrated and not to be aborted and denied. Self-esteem is - in a comprehensive sense - the experience of feeling equal to life and all its challenges.
Self Esteem means to respect myself. But how can I deepen my understanding of self-respect and my resolve to uphold it?
Self-respect provides us honor and happiness, something most of us strive for through all sorts of means. We may try to buy our happiness with new technology, clothes, or vacations. We may try to beautify our bodies in hopes that others will honor us and make us feel loved. Many try to climb to unnecessary heights of material wealth to attract the joy we see missing around us. But those methods usually don’t work. If self-respect forms an important part of how we achieve the happiness and honor we crave, it seems pretty important that we understand it.
I work with the method of Nathaniel Branden and support people in the different 6 pillars of self-esteem. These are: 1. living consciously - 2. self-acceptance - 3. living self-reliantly - 4. asserting oneself - 5. living purposefully - 6. personal integrity.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
When it comes to enhancing self-esteem, hypnotherapy helps by reaching the subconscious mind, where many of our deepest beliefs and perceptions about ourselves are stored. During a hypnotherapy session, clients are guided into a state of deep relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions and affirmations. Hypnotherapy can also help uncover the root causes of low self-esteem and work through them, empowering individuals to build a healthier and more positive self-image, paving the way for greater personal and professional fulfillment. Its holistic approach ensures that the benefits extend beyond mere symptom relief, fostering long-term growth and resilience.
