Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Low self-esteem often grows out of shame and critical environments. IFS, attachment focused, trauma informed, and narrative therapy help uncover and transform negative beliefs, while mindfulness and humanistic approaches foster self-compassion. I provide careful diagnostic evaluation to distinguish self-esteem struggles from depression, trauma, or social anxiety.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Everyone struggles with self-esteem at times. It’s easy to compare yourself to others or feel like you’re not measuring up—especially in a world that constantly sets unrealistic expectations. These feelings don’t mean something is wrong with you; they’re part of being human. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand where these beliefs come from and begin to build a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself. Over time, you can learn to feel more confident, capable, and at peace with who you are.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
Self-esteem is developed from Unconditional Love, which we did not receive. Instead, all the PMES abandonment lead us to believe being un-loved was our fault. This is self-hate, which erodes our will & serenity. Developing the Loving Parent Voice heals & provides self-confidence. (Blog : 2011)

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.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Over the course of my extensive career working with clients, I have come to recognize a central theme that underpins many psychological conditions: the pervasive belief that one is "not good enough." It's these negative thoughts, deeply ingrained, that often serve as the bedrock of depression and anxiety. Yet, the undeniable truth is that you are inherently perfect and complete just as you are in this very moment. There's no need to strive for greater wealth, slimmer physique, heightened intelligence, or increased affluence to be deserving and inherently worthy.
My approach to bolstering your self-esteem is highly personalized, crafted to align with your unique personality and life circumstances. As a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help you uncover blind spots and confront those negative core beliefs that may be eroding your self-esteem. Together, we embark on the journey of rewiring your brain with more empowering thought patterns. This multifaceted approach may incorporate various therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, thought conditioning, cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, problem-solving strategies, and honing your social skills. Throughout this transformative process, I will impart specific tools and techniques designed to fortify your self-esteem, drawing upon practices such as affirmations, mindfulness, meditation, visualization, and positive self-talk. Our collaborative efforts aim to empower you with heightened self-esteem and a profound sense of self-efficacy, ultimately paving the way for a life filled with inner joy and tranquility.

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.

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.

Celine Linley
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist
The end of a marriage or break up can leave you questioning your worth, your judgment, even how you see yourself in the mirror, sometimes all at once. I work with women in that place, feeling shaken and unsure of themselves after a season that tested everything.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Low self-esteem rarely comes out of the blue. It's usually the result of internalized messages, past experiences, and parts of ourselves that learned to be critical as a way of coping. I help clients untangle where these beliefs came from and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Tracy Singer

Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Self-esteem is the foundation of how we view ourselves and navigate the world. When it’s strong, we feel confident, capable, and worthy of love and success. But when it’s low, self-doubt and negative self-talk can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Building healthy self-esteem involves recognizing your inherent value, embracing your strengths, and challenging the beliefs that limit you. Through compassionate support and practical strategies, you can learn to see yourself in a more positive light, cultivate self-compassion, and empower yourself to live a life that truly reflects your worth.

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.

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.
