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.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
If your self-esteem depends on the number of achievements you have accomplished so far in your life, how many 'exceeds expectations' you have on your performance reviews, or how many likes you get on an IG post, your self-esteem is being fueled by external factors instead of internal ones. If you're ready to put in the work and figure out how to create a more positive view of yourself, reach out and I'll show you how.

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.

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.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but inwardly feel like you’re never quite good enough, it chips away at your ability to show up authentically in your life. Maybe you constantly doubt your own decisions, second-guess your value, or wrestle with the fear that others will see through your confidence to your insecurities beneath. Dr. Jenny Shields helps driven professionals rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self-worth through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and narrative approaches. Her highly individualized style supports you in untangling critical self-beliefs, reclaiming your strengths, and moving toward a genuine, resilient self-confidence—one that isn’t dependent on external validation or fleeting success.

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.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is not something you build by telling yourself better things in the mirror. That is cosmetics. Real self-worth is structural — it comes from having been received by someone who could actually see you, and from learning, over time, to hold yourself with that same steadiness. When that early receiving didn't happen, or happened only conditionally, a person learns to earn their right to exist through performance, through usefulness, through disappearing their own needs. Therapy is not about learning to think more positively. It is about discovering that the part of you that was never good enough was answering a question someone else asked — and that you are allowed to stop answering it.

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)

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.
You deserve to feel confident in yourself and your abilities. When you shift your subconscious patterns, confidence becomes natural, effortless, and a part of who you are.
