Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults build healthy self-esteem, greater self-confidence, and a stronger sense of self-worth. Many individuals struggle with self-criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing, negative self-talk, body image concerns, or feelings of not being "good enough." These challenges can affect relationships, career success, emotional well-being, and overall life satisfaction. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion practices, and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, recognize their strengths, develop self-acceptance, and cultivate a more balanced and compassionate view of themselves. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, empowered, and capable of living in alignment with their values and goals.

Psychologist, PsyD
Our inner assessment of ourselves is hugely important in how we carry meaning in our life. If we hate ourselves or feel chronic failure and disappointment, we are usually not living at the peak of our ability.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Struggles with self-esteem can show up as self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or a sense of not quite measuring up. In therapy, we’ll explore how these patterns developed and how they continue to shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. By building a more grounded and compassionate understanding of yourself, you can begin to relate to yourself with greater confidence and steadiness, rather than constant evaluation.

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.

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.

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.

How we view ourselves is often how we interact with the world. Maybe your self-esteem feels okay or maybe it could use work. Maybe you would like to unpack some hurtful experiences that affected your self-esteem. Either way, let's example the internal self-talk that impacts your self-esteem.
