Gainesville, Florida therapist: Rising Calm Center, professional christian counselor
Self Esteem

Rising Calm Center

Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever wondered why you feel like you’re not enough—no matter how hard you try? You accomplish, serve, achieve, and still sense a quiet ache of inadequacy underneath it all. That voice of comparison or guilt keeps whispering, “You should be doing better.” At Rising Calm Center, we help you understand that voice for what it is—not truth, but a wound. Our Christian counselors walk with you to heal the root causes of shame, perfectionism, and fear, so confidence can grow from the inside out. We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most. We blend biblical identity work with evidence-based therapies—CBT, ACT, IFS, and somatic calming tools—to help you: • Silence the inner critic and build self-compassion • Recognize and rewrite the false stories that fuel insecurity • Strengthen your sense of worth through God’s truth, not performance • Cultivate boundaries, resilience, and courage in relationships • Live with calm assurance instead of constant proving You were never meant to earn your value—it was given. When you begin to see yourself as God does—chosen, capable, and loved—peace replaces striving, and confidence becomes quiet strength. If you’re ready to rise above self-doubt and walk in steady assurance, we’re here to help you rediscover your God-given worth. Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

 therapist: Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist, hypnotherapist
Self Esteem

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist

Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Low self-esteem rarely starts with logic. You can list your accomplishments and still not feel like enough. That is because self-worth is held in the subconscious, often shaped by experiences in childhood that we long ago stopped consciously remembering. RTT goes back to those root moments and updates the meaning we made of them. The belief "I am not enough" or "I do not matter" was not chosen consciously and it cannot be argued away consciously either. It can be updated at the level where it lives. Most clients begin to notice a real shift in how they feel about themselves within the first session.

Seattle, Washington therapist: Aaron Kapin, somatic experiencing practitioner
Self Esteem

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.

Shame is a major detriment to self-esteem. Self-esteem is built up in childhood, and if we had abusive or neglectful childhood experiences (ACEs or "adverse childhood experiences", we may carry unprocessed shame that interferes with our self-esteem.

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. If you struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, or feeling "not good enough," hypnotherapy can help you reprogram your subconscious mind to embrace confidence, self-love, and inner strength. 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.

Amarillo, Texas therapist: Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD., psychologist
Self Esteem

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
If you spend any time with a preschooler, you notice very quickly they have very few problem with healthy self-esteem or "being themselves!" I believe the erosion of self-esteem is learned through experience (e.g., attachment problems, trauma, neglect, bullying, marginalization, etc.). I utilize approaches like EMDR and ego-state therapies to help heal the experiences that first eroded your inherent feelings of self worth followed by strengthening internal resources to more confidently approach the present and future.

New York City, New York therapist: Kate E. Stephenson, life coach
Self Esteem

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 certified professional Holistic Life 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 am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement the therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. 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.

Richardson, Texas therapist: Jay Shaw, hypnotherapist
Self Esteem

Jay Shaw

Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Low self-esteem isn't a personality trait it's a subconscious program installed early and reinforced over time. Imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt — these are identity-level patterns, not character flaws. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work with high performers in Dallas and virtually to locate the specific belief structures undermining their self-concept and replace them with an identity that matches their actual capability.

Virginia Beach, Virginia therapist: MindOverHealing Therapies, hypnotherapist
Self Esteem

MindOverHealing Therapies

Hypnotherapist, CHt
When it comes to enhancing self-esteem, hypnotherapy helps by reaching the subconscious mind, where many of our deepest beliefs and perceptions about ourselves are stored. During a hypnotherapy session, clients are guided into a state of deep relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions and affirmations. Hypnotherapy can also help uncover the root causes of low self-esteem and work through them, empowering individuals to build a healthier and more positive self-image, paving the way for greater personal and professional fulfillment. Its holistic approach ensures that the benefits extend beyond mere symptom relief, fostering long-term growth and resilience.
