Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
As a therapist specializing in self-esteem building, I help clients reconnect with their inherent worth and challenge the inner critic that distorts their self-image. Low self-esteem often stems from early experiences, societal pressures, or chronic self-doubt—and I guide individuals in rewriting those narratives through compassion, cognitive restructuring, and strengths-based reflection. My approach encourages clients to recognize their value beyond achievements or external validation, fostering a more resilient and authentic sense of self. Confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about embracing who you are, flaws and all.

Low self-esteem can quietly shape every aspect of your life—from the relationships you choose to the opportunities you pursue and the way you treat yourself daily. Our therapy services help you break free from negative self-talk, self-doubt, and the belief that you're not good enough. Through compassionate, personalized support, we'll help you identify the roots of your low self-worth, challenge the critical inner voice that holds you back, and build genuine confidence from the inside out. You'll learn to recognize your inherent value, celebrate your strengths, set healthy boundaries, and treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others. Building authentic self-esteem isn't about becoming perfect—it's about accepting yourself fully and recognizing that you are worthy of love, respect, and all the good things life has to offer.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Chronic feelings of self-doubt and low self-worth can lead to anxiety, depression, unsatisfying social and romantic relationships, distress at work, and to an exhausting sense of always needing to ‘do more’ or push ourselves to the brink just in order to feel like we’re enough. Our work together can help you to increase your understanding of where these internal drives come from, remain connected to your value while you reach for your ambitions, and improve your ability to view yourself with acceptance and compassion so that you can move through life with greater confidence and resilience.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Low self-esteem often isn’t a lack of ability—it’s a learned relationship with yourself shaped by old experiences, chronic self-criticism, comparison, or the feeling of “not enough.” For many high-functioning people, it can also show up as imposter feelings: the sense that success isn’t truly deserved or that you could be “found out” at any moment. Many people cope by overachieving, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or shrinking their needs to avoid judgment.
In our work together, we identify the beliefs and protective strategies underneath self-doubt and build a steadier form of self-trust. That includes strengthening boundaries, practicing more honest self-talk, working with shame and fear of evaluation, and learning how to take meaningful action even when confidence isn’t fully online. Often, confidence returns as self-trust strengthens. The goal isn’t inflated confidence, but a grounded sense of worth—so you can show up in relationships and in life with greater clarity and a stronger sense of agency and freedom.

Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
When your relationship with yourself is defined by self-doubt, people-pleasing, and a harsh inner critic, it affects every single corner of your life. Anne provides a warm, non-judgmental, and deeply collaborative space to help you dismantle those negative self-narratives and build authentic self-esteem. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with individuals to help them break free from the cycle of insecurity, quiet the voice of perfectionism, and rediscover their inherent worth.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely designed to bypass the intellectual defense mechanisms that keep low self-esteem in place. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with creative art therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she offers a safe space to explore and externalize old beliefs about your value. Together, you will learn to treat yourself with genuine compassion, establish healthy boundaries, and step into your life with confidence—whether you are navigating a major life transition, professional burnout, a chronic illness diagnosis, or the profound identity shifts of parenthood.

Self Esteem
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Self-esteem is not about becoming someone new or trying harder to feel confident—it’s about rebuilding a steady, respectful relationship with yourself. Many people struggle with self-esteem because they’ve learned to doubt their instincts, minimize their needs, or measure their worth through others’ approval. In therapy, we gently explore how these patterns developed and how they show up today, without judgment or pressure to “fix” anything right away.
My approach to self-esteem work is warm, practical, and compassionate. Together, we focus on strengthening your inner voice, quieting self-criticism, and learning how to take yourself seriously—especially in moments when it feels uncomfortable to do so. Over time, self-esteem grows less from positive thinking and more from self-trust: honoring your limits, speaking honestly, and choosing yourself in small, meaningful ways.
