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.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
If your self-esteem depends on the number of achievements you have accomplished so far in your life, how many 'exceeds expectations' you have on your performance reviews, or how many likes you get on an IG post, your self-esteem is being fueled by external factors instead of internal ones. If you're ready to put in the work and figure out how to create a more positive view of yourself, reach out and I'll show you how.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.

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.

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.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients build their self-esteem and repair their self view - something that has likely been destroyed by society and feedback from others about their value and worth. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that does not value people equally. Even highly successful individuals can have a vulnerable self-view that gets activated with setbacks, mistakes, or rejection. If you've found your self-esteem plummeting from time to time, it might be worth investigating what's going on at a deeper level.

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.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Systems of oppression impact self-esteem by perpetuating discrimination, marginalization, and negative stereotypes that devalue us based on race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or other identities. These oppressive systems can lead to internalized negative beliefs, chronic stress and diminished self-worth as we constantly face societal messages that undermine their value and abilities. This ongoing marginalization and exclusion contribute to feelings of inferiority, powerlessness and self-doubt, significantly harming self-esteem and overall mental health. My approach to therapy actively works to reduce sexism, racism, classism, ableism, weightism and other exclusionary classes by helping you understand how you have been impacted by these systems and deconstructing the beliefs youhold that perpetuate these exclusionary institutions.

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.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
There are times we have had experiences or interactions that have dampened the way we see ourselves. So often our inner voice is quite negative and judgemental. Through therapy, we will examine what your self-esteem is based on, where it needs strengthening, and how to shore up your coping skills, self-talk, and sense of self.
