Jennifer L. Lechliter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC
Your relationship with yourself serves as the core foundation for how you go through life, interpret situations you face across all types of relationships/contexts, & gravitate toward major decisions/everyday actions alike. There are many factors that impact how we feel about ourselves, but these can be restructured in ways that serve you better. If you never feel like "enough" no matter how much you accomplish & struggle with boundaries: As persistent as some of the low beliefs you carry with you may seem up to this point, I want you to know that you are more than capable of building confidence, giving yourself compassion, & ultimately claiming new milestones in your life.

I like to create a supportive and empathetic environment in sessions where clients feel accepted and understood without judgment. Through active listening and reflecting back the client's experiences and emotions, I help clients gain insight into their self-perceptions and challenges. By fostering a genuine and non-directive therapeutic relationship, clients are empowered to explore their self-concept, build self-awareness, and develop a more positive sense of self.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
How we feel about ourselves often will influence how we see relationships, life satisfaction, and the world around us. When we see ourselves negatively, we tend to put ourselves down and only believe negative appraisals of who we are. Therapy can help challenge that tendency to be self-critical and only see our worst qualities and build a better understanding about our strengths, attributes, and positive characteristics. We can learn how to show ourselves kindness and compassion and this will help us be better people who are able to be resilient and confront the challenges we face in our lives.

Low self-esteem can exist for a variety of reasons, but is particularly prevalent among adolescents and young adults and can significantly impact quality of life, interpersonal relationships, decision making, and mental health.

Kimberly Turner-Frazier
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, LPC
If you struggle with a harsh inner critic or never feel 'good enough,' therapy can help shift that narrative. We will work to identify the origins of your self-doubt and replace those patterns with self-compassion and realistic self-appraisal. By recognizing your inherent worth and setting healthy boundaries, you can build the internal foundation needed to move through the world with genuine confidence.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
Self-esteem is developed from Unconditional Love, which we did not receive. Instead, all the PMES abandonment lead us to believe being un-loved was our fault. This is self-hate, which erodes our will & serenity. Developing the Loving Parent Voice heals & provides self-confidence. (Blog : 2011)

Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety, depression , and just generally improve quality of life. In a world so focused on achievement and external validation it can weigh on your own views of yourself.

Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious or negative thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to loving yourself and enjoying what you have to offer the world!

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for self-esteem issues, including low self-worth, self-doubt, chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, and difficulty feeling confident or “good enough,” even when supported by others. These struggles can affect relationships, career confidence, decision-making, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to self-esteem counseling, helping clients understand the underlying emotional experiences, past trauma, and relational patterns that often contribute to negative self-beliefs. Many self-esteem challenges are not simply about confidence, but about deeper wounds formed through past experiences, attachment dynamics, criticism, neglect, or emotional invalidation.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process underlying experiences and shift long-standing negative beliefs about themselves. Therapy focuses on reducing shame, increasing self-awareness, and building a more stable and compassionate sense of identity.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating.
The goal of therapy is not only to improve confidence, but to support lasting change in how clients view themselves and their place in the world. Through this process, clients can develop greater emotional resilience, authenticity, and self-trust.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond self-doubt and develop a stronger, more grounded, and more secure sense of self-worth and identity.

Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
Too often we treat ourselves as our own worst enemy. This is not fair and often learned. You can learn to change your self-talk, see yourself in your best light and open up possibilities that may be been difficult to see in the past.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Struggling with low self-esteem can impact every area of life—relationships, career, and even how you care for yourself. Feelings of self-doubt, comparison, and negative self-talk can leave you feeling stuck and disconnected from your true worth. In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore the roots of these patterns and develop tools for building confidence, resilience, and self-compassion. Together, we’ll focus on shifting self-criticism into self-understanding, strengthening your sense of identity, and helping you feel more grounded and empowered in who you are.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
In our work together on self-esteem, I meet you exactly where you are—thoughtful, self-aware, and caring deeply about how you show up in your own life and relationships. We’ll slow down and explore, without judgment, the patterns, past experiences, or internalized shame that have quietly shaped how you see and value yourself. Whether those stories show up in your sexuality, your closest relationships, or your sense of safety in your own body, we’ll unpack them together in a warm, collaborative space. You’ll learn to reconnect with your authentic desires and needs, rebuild emotional safety within yourself, and gently challenge the old beliefs that no longer serve you. Most clients begin to feel lighter and more at home in themselves within the first few sessions, moving toward a quieter confidence that ripples into greater closeness, pleasure, and connection in every part of life.

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.
