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.

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.

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.

Low self-esteem is often tied to long-standing self-criticism, shame, or a sense of not measuring up. We can look at where those beliefs took root and how they keep showing up today. The work is about building a more balanced view of yourself, strengthening self-trust, and creating patterns that support confidence and self-respect.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever wondered why you feel like you’re not enough—no matter how hard you try? You accomplish, serve, achieve, and still sense a quiet ache of inadequacy underneath it all. That voice of comparison or guilt keeps whispering, “You should be doing better.”
At Rising Calm Center, we help you understand that voice for what it is—not truth, but a wound. Our Christian counselors walk with you to heal the root causes of shame, perfectionism, and fear, so confidence can grow from the inside out.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend biblical identity work with evidence-based therapies—CBT, ACT, IFS, and somatic calming tools—to help you:
• Silence the inner critic and build self-compassion
• Recognize and rewrite the false stories that fuel insecurity
• Strengthen your sense of worth through God’s truth, not performance
• Cultivate boundaries, resilience, and courage in relationships
• Live with calm assurance instead of constant proving
You were never meant to earn your value—it was given. When you begin to see yourself as God does—chosen, capable, and loved—peace replaces striving, and confidence becomes quiet strength.
If you’re ready to rise above self-doubt and walk in steady assurance, we’re here to help you rediscover your God-given worth.

Catherine Quiring
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LCPC
Feeling worthy, valuable, and lovable is a deep human need that doesn't always get met. Or wounds/trauma make it feel untrue. I can help you work through any trauma that is blocking it and meet this need for yourself. To believe that you are worthy and lovable on a deep, bodily level, not just try to convince yourself of it.
