Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Low self-esteem often isn’t a lack of ability—it’s a learned relationship with yourself shaped by old experiences, chronic self-criticism, comparison, or the feeling of “not enough.” For many high-functioning people, it can also show up as imposter feelings: the sense that success isn’t truly deserved or that you could be “found out” at any moment. Many people cope by overachieving, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or shrinking their needs to avoid judgment.
In our work together, we identify the beliefs and protective strategies underneath self-doubt and build a steadier form of self-trust. That includes strengthening boundaries, practicing more honest self-talk, working with shame and fear of evaluation, and learning how to take meaningful action even when confidence isn’t fully online. Often, confidence returns as self-trust strengthens. The goal isn’t inflated confidence, but a grounded sense of worth—so you can show up in relationships and in life with greater clarity and a stronger sense of agency and freedom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hypnotherapy for Self-Esteem: Step Into Your Confidence
Your self-worth is not determined by the opinions of others or past experiences—it is something that comes from within.

Through guided hypnosis, you can:
✔ Silence the Inner Critic – Release negative self-talk and replace it with empowering beliefs.
✔ Build Unshakable Confidence – Strengthen your self-worth from the inside out.
✔ Let Go of Past Conditioning – Break free from limiting beliefs that no longer serve you.
✔ Develop Self-Love & Inner Strength – Feel worthy, capable, and enough—just as you are.
You deserve to feel confident in yourself and your abilities. When you shift your subconscious patterns, confidence becomes natural, effortless, and a part of who you are.

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.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Self-esteem is not a "nice to have"...it is a "NEED to have". How we see ourselves is fundamental, it is the lens through which we see our world and everything and everyone in it. Improving self-esteem is the #1 thing you can do to make your life better. I work with people on self-esteem more and more and welcome working with you on it.
