Lincoln Park Psychology, Inc
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.

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.

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.

Celine Linley
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist
The end of a marriage or break up can leave you questioning your worth, your judgment, even how you see yourself in the mirror, sometimes all at once. I work with women in that place, feeling shaken and unsure of themselves after a season that tested everything.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, 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.

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.

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.
