Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Confidence is an inside job—and it’s something you can learn to build!
I work with individuals who struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and feeling unsure of their value. Many of these patterns are rooted in long-standing beliefs and experiences that shape how you see yourself and show up in relationships.
In our work together, we focus on identifying and shifting limiting beliefs, strengthening your sense of self, and building practical skills such as assertive communication, healthy boundaries, conflict resolution, and effective coping strategies.
Over time, this process helps you move out of self-doubt and into a more grounded, confident, and self-expressed version of yourself.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals who are looking to improve self-esteem by exploring patterns of self-criticism, comparison, and negative self-talk that can impact confidence and overall well-being. Low self-esteem can influence relationships, decision-making, and how you view your own worth. In therapy, we focus on identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs, building self-awareness, and developing a more balanced and compassionate perspective of yourself. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based strategies to support you in shifting how you relate to your thoughts and in building a stronger sense of self that is grounded in your values rather than self-doubt.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Self-esteem is complicated, and we should talk to see if my training is the right approach for you. But when people feel unsafe or anxious within their own bodies, it can be pretty easy to start looking at yourself with wariness, judgment, or shame.
Somatic Experiencing in this case seeks to help you feel safer in your body, to handle any old feelings of danger so you can feel more vital and alive. Dare I say, we can even take small steps towards enjoying the feeling of life.
Once there is enjoyment, and awareness of that enjoyment, self-esteem starts looking much less fixed.

Self Esteem
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

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.

In therapy, we’ll work together to quiet that inner critic, build self-trust, and help you see yourself with more compassion. You deserve to feel confident in who you are—without having to earn it.
