Self esteem is at the core of all humans. If your self esteem was negatively impacted by early attachment issues, traumas, bullying, unhealthy family of origin relationships or something else, we will explore this with you and unburden the pain that your younger parts hold as a result. We will support your Core Self in bringing compassion into your system in order to restore your worth and value.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With so many pressures and impossible standards around us, it can be easy to feel defeated and inadequate. And oftentimes, our minds are so quick to criticize ourselves for any perceived slight. Together, we can work on building your self-esteem by understanding the "rules" and messages you may be holding on tightly to, your unique areas of strength and challenge, and ways to interact with yourself in a more compassionate manner. Low self-esteem is often intertwined with other experiences and challenges that we can disentangle and navigate together.

Jennifer Nudo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Do you struggle with feeling bad about yourself and not understand why or how to change it? If so, you are not alone. In my practice, I work with many women who struggle with feelings of not being good enough or persistent self criticism. Understanding the reasons you feel this way and how the cycle of negative self esteem keeps you feeling bad can help you break free from self criticism and improve your life and relationships.

Joy Powell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA Socio, MSW, LCSW
As a therapist who specializes in self-esteem, I understand that how we view ourselves can deeply affect how we show up in the world, making self-esteem work is so very important. In our work together, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgemental space where you can gently explore the inner narratives that shape your self-perception. Whether you are struggling with self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, or a critical inner voice, our sessions will be a place to build self-compassion, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with your inherent value. Together, we will move at your pace, centering your voice, your unique goals, and your growth as a person every step of the way.

Jaylan Abd Elrahman
Psychologist, PhD
What an honor it is to be a supportive companion on your path to deeper wellness! I see therapy as a process wherein people can grow a more honest connection with themselves, learn and practice hope-generating perspectives and skills in their lives and stretch their imaginations for how to lovingly create a future that feels meaningful and liberating!

* Struggle to manage the stresses of daily life and experience emotional distress, depression, grief and/or anxiety
* Are survivors of complex trauma, interpersonal, generational and/or collective trauma
* Yearn to clarify purpose in life, often exploring existential, spiritual, and identity-based questions
* Seek a space to dream beyond the moment they are in to create new futures for themselves and those they love
* Values justice-oriented, compassionate, and creative relational care

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
How do we come into confidence? One of the first questions I ask my clients is "what does confidence mean to you?" It never ceases to amaze me that each of us has a slightly different definition. What if your definition really doesn't have much to do with it at all? Everything I have learned as a coach turned my own definition on it's head. I invite you to share with me what self esteem and confidence mean to you so that we can start to explore how you see yourself and your relation to others. I have a toolkit of fun methods and approaches to self esteem designed to help you question your own assumptions, internal unconscious agreements, and unacknowledged (perhaps limiting) beliefs to get to a place of awareness and insight—the place where confidence truly lives.

Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You find yourself ruminating about the same situations without making decisions or changes.You need 10 different opinions before you can make a decision. You don't trust your inner voice, or maybe, you don't even hear your inner voice. Seeking therapy can help.
Therapy is a time set aside just for you for 50 minutes weekly in which the focus is entirely on you, your needs and sometimes needing to sort out what those needs actually may be. As important as the significant people in our lives are, people have opinions that come from a personal place. It is difficult to always separate “advice” from the “advice giver’s” perspective and their own needs. Therapy is not about being given advice. It is not about the therapist being judge or jury. It is not about the need for the therapist to have you do something in a way that makes the therapist happy or feel good. It is about being helped to unfold what you already know, your truth, not mine, and to allow what you know, need, and want to begin to emerge from underneath all the outside noise and influences.

Dr. Sarah Arango
Psychologist, PhD
Low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, and negative self-talk can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and your ability to reach your goals. You may find yourself second-guessing decisions, feeling “not enough,” or struggling to accept compliments or success. In therapy, we’ll explore the experiences that shaped your self-image and practice new ways of relating to yourself with compassion and confidence. Together, we’ll work toward a steadier sense of self-worth that isn’t tied to perfection or external approval.

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.

Summer Stewart, PsyD

Tired of not feeling good enough? Low self-esteem can show up as constant self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re never quite measuring up. You might be your own worst critic—hard on yourself in ways you’d never be with someone else. 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.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC, PEL
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.

Resilient Mind Integrative Therapy, PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Low self-esteem often takes root in the belief that love, attention, or worth must be earned. Over time, you may have learned to rely on external validation to feel secure or “enough.” But because that validation is fragile and always changing, your sense of self can start to feel the same way—uncertain, anxious, and easily shaken.
In therapy, we’ll explore how these patterns developed and gently work toward building a more stable, compassionate relationship with yourself. Through a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach, you’ll learn to recognize your inherent worth, cultivate self-acceptance, and develop confidence that comes from within rather than from outside approval.
