Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but inwardly feel like you’re never quite good enough, it chips away at your ability to show up authentically in your life. Maybe you constantly doubt your own decisions, second-guess your value, or wrestle with the fear that others will see through your confidence to your insecurities beneath. Dr. Jenny Shields helps driven professionals rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self-worth through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and narrative approaches. Her highly individualized style supports you in untangling critical self-beliefs, reclaiming your strengths, and moving toward a genuine, resilient self-confidence—one that isn’t dependent on external validation or fleeting success.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We all have an inner critic. For many of us, our inner critic is very harsh and wreaks havoc on our self-esteem. Whether it comes in the form of Judge, Controller, Perfectionist or Gremlin, these loud inner critics are brutal. But, and perhaps this is counterintuitive, they are also trying to keep us safe by preempting and therefore avoiding the disapproval of others. We can update our interior landscape so our inner monologue can become softer, kinder and quieter. And now through kindness and compassion, encourage us to be the best we can be.

I help clients strengthen self-esteem by fostering self-compassion and reconnecting with what truly matters to them. Together we can work to quiet the inner critic, build a kinder relationship with yourself, and identify core values that guide meaningful action. This approach can help you find a more resilient sense of self rooted in purpose and self-acceptance rather than perfection.

Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety, depression , and just generally improve quality of life.

Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious or negative thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet!

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, LCPC, LPC, LCSW, LSW, CADC, AMFT
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.

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.

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.
