Self Esteem
The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Struggles with self-esteem often show up as self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, people-pleasing, or feeling “not enough” no matter what you accomplish. From an Adlerian perspective, low self-esteem is closely tied to discouragement and mistaken beliefs about worth, belonging, and significance. In counseling, we work together to identify these patterns, challenge self-defeating thoughts, and build a more compassionate and realistic view of yourself. My goal is to help you develop confidence, strengthen your sense of purpose, and begin living in a way that reflects your true value rather than your fears or past experiences.

Self Esteem
Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self Esteem has numerous ways that it can become a struggle; maybe it’s a lack of confidence, maybe it’s not believing you deserve good things, maybe it’s less noticeable ways that you forget to take care of yourself, and sometimes it’s a doubt that underneath it all, there is a self that exists, let alone deserves esteem. As a psychologist specializing in building deeper connection to one’s self, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to open shame-free spaces and explore who you are and who you want to be. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our sense of self is formed or disrupted by our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Self Esteem
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The voice in your head is not kind. It tells you you're not good enough, smart enough, successful enough. It compares you to everyone else and finds you lacking. You've achieved things, maybe a lot of things, but none of it quiets the voice for long. Low self-esteem often has deep roots, messages you absorbed in childhood, experiences that taught you to doubt yourself, relationships that reinforced the belief that you don't quite measure up. We help you understand where these beliefs came from and, more importantly, how to build a different relationship with yourself. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Self-esteem issues frequently coincide with other conditions such as depression, anxiety, or OCD. My work with clients frequently involves helping them to recognize their strengths and to acknowledge their weaknesses with compassion. One of my favorite parts of therapy happens when I notice my clients talking about themselves in a kinder, more compassionate way.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we view self-esteem not just as "feeling good" about yourself, but as the quiet confidence that comes from living in alignment with your true values. We understand that self-worth can often be eroded by harsh self-criticism, societal pressures, or the weight of trying to meet conflicting cultural expectations. Our approach helps you dismantle the "inner critic" and replace it with a foundation of self-compassion. Together we work to identify the core beliefs that keep you feeling "not enough," helping you bridge the gap between who you are and who you feel you should be. Our goal is to help you cultivate a resilient sense of self that remains steady, even when external circumstances change.

Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
How we think and feel about ourselves impacts everything in our lives, even when we're not consciously aware of it. When we feel negatively about who we are, it's going to be challenging to make meaning, find joy, maintain mutual relationships, and access peace and rest. Asking the "why?" is an important first question. The next step can be to find a safe place to search for the pieces. Therapy can be that space, not because the therapist is going make you feel good, but because it can provide a supportive environment to explore your story and how your brain arrived to the conclusion that there is something inherently negative about you. Through the process we can deconstruct the narrative that has you stuck, begin to understand yourself differently, and move towards integration and wellbeing.

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.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals who are looking to improve self-esteem by exploring patterns of self-criticism, comparison, and negative self-talk that can impact confidence and overall well-being. Low self-esteem can influence relationships, decision-making, and how you view your own worth. In therapy, we focus on identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs, building self-awareness, and developing a more balanced and compassionate perspective of yourself. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based strategies to support you in shifting how you relate to your thoughts and in building a stronger sense of self that is grounded in your values rather than self-doubt.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Struggles with self-esteem can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own abilities.

In therapy, we work to understand the experiences shaping self-esteem and build a steadier, more balanced sense of confidence.

Aurora is one of Illinois's largest cities and serves as a western anchor of the Chicago metro — with a large Latino population (predominantly Mexican American), a growing South Asian community, and a blue-collar manufacturing heritage that shapes its therapy culture. The city's historically Hispanic west side has distinct mental health needs rooted in immigration stress, economic precarity, and bilingual family dynamics, while the more affluent east side neighborhoods generate demand for therapists working with professional stress and relationship concerns. Rush Copley Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that serves Aurora and the broader Fox Valley corridor. Aurora's affordability relative to Chicago has made it a destination for families seeking more space, and therapists frequently encounter the adjustment challenges and social isolation that come with suburban relocation.
