Just As You are...
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
CSTS- Certified Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist
Self-esteem is a concept that speaks to how we feel about ourselves. When one has high self-esteem, they feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often feel critical of themselves and are unworthy of love or praise.
low self-esteem manifests, the results are always the same:
Depression and anxiety
Lack of joy in life
Anger, guilt, sadness
Self-doubt
A lack of resilience
Loneliness
Isolation
Eating issues
Codependency
Self-harm
The good news is that self-esteem is something that can be changed by changing your beliefs, behavior and how you think about yourself. Having said this, most people developed their self-esteem issues in childhood and have been living with low self-esteem for a very long time. For this reason, it is advised that they seek the guidance of a trained therapist.
Having a knowledgeable and supportive therapist in your corner can help you develop a healthier and more realistic sense of self. He or she will help you connect the dots in your life, discover where your low self-esteem came from, and provide tools so you can absolve your negative beliefs and critical self-talk and replace them with self-love and self-compassion.
If you suffer from low self-esteem and would like to explore treatment options, please reach out to me.

Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Many of us are our own harshest critics, trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and self-doubt. I specialize in helping individuals bridge the gap between their external success and their internal sense of value. By integrating Clinical Hypnotherapy with trauma-informed psychotherapy, we address the subconscious blocks that prevent you from owning your strengths. We don’t just 'build' self-esteem; we remove the barriers—like guilt, shame, and fear of failure—that have been obscuring your true value for years.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Low self-esteem is often linked to past unhealthy attachments and a negative internal dialogue. Evidenced based practices such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help us see how the power of attachments and thoughts impact our internal voice and how we talk to ourselves.

Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Self esteem can be tough to access when there has been early life and childhood trauma. When our caregivers cannot reflect our goodness back to us from an early age, we often struggle to feel worthy and have a hard time with self-love. Therapy can be a wonderful support to find that healthy self esteem, self love and worthiness. We can work with resourcing to help you find the places within that already know that esteem, worthiness, and love so we can draw it outward and encourage it to ground more into your everyday life.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Grief can deeply affect self-esteem, especially when a griever begins questioning who they were to the person who died. Many people blame themselves after a death and wonder if they loved enough, visited enough, said enough, noticed enough, or should have done something differently. Caregivers may carry an even heavier burden, believing they should have been able to save the person they loved.
I support adults through the guilt, regret, self-blame, and painful questions that can follow a loss. I acknowledge these thoughts and feelings by explaining that they make sense, that many grievers experience them, and that they are not proof of failure or a lack of love. I also provide plain-language grief education and practical tools to help clients manage these thoughts when they are triggered, so they can respond to themselves with more understanding instead of self-punishment.

Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, CCTP
Self-esteem isn’t just about confidence. It’s about acceptance. It’s what you actually see when you look at yourself in the mirror.
It shows up in how you see that person, how you relate to others, the boundaries you set, the choices you make, and in that internal dialogue you carry with you every day.
Sometimes it looks like overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re not enough. Even when you’re doing everything right, it can feel like you don’t really deserve it, or that at some point people will realize who you really are and leave.
We can work on understanding where that comes from, how those patterns developed, and how to shift them so you can feel more grounded in who you are, trust yourself more, and move through your life and relationships with more clarity and confidence, because you deserve to feel and live as the person you already are.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Low self-esteem does not always look the way people expect. It does not always show up as someone who seems visibly insecure or withdrawn. More often it looks like a high achiever who never feels like enough, someone who constantly seeks validation from others, a person who avoids taking risks because failure feels catastrophic, or a man who has spent years measuring his worth by his productivity, his income, or what other people think of him.
The internal experience is usually some version of the same thing: a persistent sense of not measuring up, difficulty accepting positive feedback, a harsh inner voice that is quick to criticize and slow to acknowledge progress, and a pattern of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own.
Self-esteem is not something you either have or do not have. It is built through experience, shaped by relationships and environment, and it can be changed with the right kind of focused work. That means examining where those beliefs about yourself came from, challenging the patterns that reinforce them, and building a more accurate and stable sense of who you actually are.
My approach is direct and practical. We identify the specific ways low self-esteem is showing up in your life, address the thinking patterns and behaviors that sustain it, and build real confidence grounded in self-awareness and action rather than approval from others.
If you are tired of being your own harshest critic and ready to approach yourself differently, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
If you are struggling with your self esteem, we will work on setting realistic expectations of self and building oneself up as opposed to unhelpful, toxic critiques. If your self esteem concerns are linked to your self talk or behaviors (compare and despair) we will work to interrupt and/or limit these patterns in a realistic manner. We also look to address if your messaging is your own or if it is taken from society, social media, childhood, others or an ex. We will work to deconstruct the messaging that is holding you back and build healthier ways to manage your feelings.

Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
Every where we go we are bombarded with daily comparisons to other people. Movies, magazines, commercials etc. are never ending. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling a bit inadequate when we become fused with our thoughts surrounding these comparisons. In my practice, we work on self compassion and self-acceptance focusing on what really matters (our values) in hopes of working towards finding our authentic self.

Pamela Saladino - The Healing Heart
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S., M.A., LMHC, QSFL, CHP
True self-esteem is everyone’s birthright, but we are born to imperfect parents and into imperfect families, neighborhoods, religions and schools. Recovery is definitely possible. A good therapist can help to empower clients in that recovery process.

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.
