Self Esteem
Dr. Munazza Abraham
Psychologist, PhD
My work around self-esteem centers on identifying and challenging internalized negative beliefs shaped by early experiences and systemic messaging. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we restructure distorted thinking patterns and build more balanced, affirming self-perceptions. I approach self-worth as something reclaimed and reinforced through both mindset shifts and lived experience.
Together, we’ll unpack and challenge internalized messages, build coping skills to navigate life’s ups and downs, and strengthen your capacity to live in alignment with your values and self-defined purpose. My practice emphasizes that “Community is medicine” with my creation of therapy groups to increase your sense of belonging and enhance collective healing. I also tap into ancestral knowledge, holistic and evidence-based practices, and the arts, all combined with your interests to tailor your healing experience.

Self Esteem
Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self esteem issues are universal. Do you think realistically or unrealistically about your self esteem or self-worth? Do you base your self esteem too much on what others think of you? Self esteem issues are often best treated with a combination of individual and group therapy. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with self esteem.

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.

Connie Wolf
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA in Counseling, LCPC, LIMHP, LMHC
If you're struggling with low self-esteem, I want you to know that you're not alone. Many people experience self-doubt and negative self-talk, and it can be really difficult to break free from those patterns on your own.
But here's the good news: with the right support and guidance, you can learn to see yourself in a more positive light and cultivate a stronger sense of self-worth. That's where I can assist.
As a licensed counselor, I specialize in helping people like you build confidence and self-esteem through evidence-based techniques and a collaborative, non-judgmental approach. We'll work together to identify the negative beliefs and behaviors that are holding you back, and develop strategies to overcome them.
If you're ready to take the first step towards greater self-compassion, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

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.

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.

Self Esteem
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who appear capable and put together but carry a quiet, persistent sense of not being enough. This can look like self‑criticism, difficulty trusting your own judgment, comparing yourself to others, downplaying your own needs or accomplishments, or feeling like you are always falling short of who you are supposed to be. Many of the adults I see have spent years meeting expectations, supporting others, or performing well in work or school while privately feeling inadequate, invisible, or unsure of their worth.
Low self‑esteem often develops in environments where your needs were minimized, where you were praised for being responsible or easy, or where you learned to stay small to avoid conflict or disappointment. Over time, these patterns can shape how you see yourself, how you move through relationships, and what you believe you are allowed to want.
In our work together, we explore the origins of these beliefs and how they show up in your body, emotions, and daily life. We look at the roles you have carried, the expectations you have internalized, and the parts of you that are tired of feeling not enough. The goal is not to create artificial confidence but to help you develop a more grounded, accurate sense of yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice. Supporting people who have learned to minimize themselves or feel “not enough” is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve worked to hold things together.

Self-esteem is shaped through early emotional experience and internalized relationships. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and embodied awareness to support a more compassionate and coherent relationship with the self.

Self Esteem
Andrew D. Sapp
Psychologist, PhD
Self-Esteem starts with being a friend to ourselves. It requires stopping negative self-talk and replacing it with positive thoughts. Irrational and limiting beliefs can also be a blockage against developing self-esteem. Self Esteem also takes action and real world success. As we have more positive self-talk, and start believing in ourselves we will start being more motivated because we believe we can succeed and that our effort makes a difference. Then we start practicing more at whatever matters to us. We start to have more success in those areas and others start to notice and appreciate our skills. Feeling like you are good at something, have some positive relationships, and celebrating the little positive steps along the way gets the momentum of self esteem building going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be incredibly helpful to this process.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Struggles with self-esteem can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own abilities. Even people who function well outwardly may quietly question whether they are doing enough or measuring up. In therapy, we work to understand the experiences shaping self-esteem and build a steadier, more balanced sense of confidence.

In my sessions focusing on improving self-esteem, I often employ elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and positive thoughts about themselves. Additionally, I integrate aspects of Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel valued and understood, fostering a sense of acceptance and self-worth.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults build healthy self-esteem, greater self-confidence, and a stronger sense of self-worth. Many individuals struggle with self-criticism, perfectionism, people-pleasing, negative self-talk, body image concerns, or feelings of not being "good enough." These challenges can affect relationships, career success, emotional well-being, and overall life satisfaction. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion practices, and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, recognize their strengths, develop self-acceptance, and cultivate a more balanced and compassionate view of themselves. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, empowered, and capable of living in alignment with their values and goals.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

Building healthy self-esteem involves recognizing your inherent value, embracing your strengths, and challenging the beliefs that limit you. Through compassionate support and practical strategies, you can learn to see yourself in a more positive light, cultivate self-compassion, and empower yourself to live a life that truly reflects your worth.
