Self Esteem
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.

I want to be happy; I want to feel better; I want to feel good about myself. Many people come in with these goals but feel hopeless about finding a path toward them. I hold a specialization in positive psychology, and a focus on esteem, worth, and meaning is deeply embedded in all of my work. I work with many people who are struggling to feel good about themselves or their lives and hoping for better.

Sarah Safron-Chiu
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
A person's sense of self is initially formed in early relationships with attachment figures but continues to be impacted positively or negatively by individuals throughout one's lifespan who provide nurturing, mirroring responses or injurious ones. In my work with clients I seek to bolster one's sense of self by unearthing negative messages that have been internalized and helping individuals to rewrite their narratives.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
Over the course of my extensive career working with clients, I have come to recognize a central theme that underpins many psychological conditions: the pervasive belief that one is "not good enough." It's these negative thoughts, deeply ingrained, that often serve as the bedrock of depression and anxiety. Yet, the undeniable truth is that you are inherently perfect and complete just as you are in this very moment. There's no need to strive for greater wealth, slimmer physique, heightened intelligence, or increased affluence to be deserving and inherently worthy.
My approach to bolstering your self-esteem is highly personalized, crafted to align with your unique personality and life circumstances. As a neuropsychologist, I possess the expertise to help you uncover blind spots and confront those negative core beliefs that may be eroding your self-esteem. Together, we embark on the journey of rewiring your brain with more empowering thought patterns. This multifaceted approach may incorporate various therapeutic techniques, including EMDR, thought conditioning, cognitive restructuring, assertiveness training, problem-solving strategies, and honing your social skills. Throughout this transformative process, I will impart specific tools and techniques designed to fortify your self-esteem, drawing upon practices such as affirmations, mindfulness, meditation, visualization, and positive self-talk. Our collaborative efforts aim to empower you with heightened self-esteem and a profound sense of self-efficacy, ultimately paving the way for a life filled with inner joy and tranquility.

Self-esteem issues can profoundly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For instance, low self-esteem can lead to substance abuse as a coping mechanism and hinder healthy relationship dynamics, exacerbating feelings of loneliness and depression. My role is to create a supportive space for individuals to address their self-esteem issues. Together, we identify negative thought patterns and develop strategies to challenge them.
