Many women struggle with feeling like they are never doing enough, achieving enough, or measuring up to the expectations placed on them. Low self-esteem often shows up in our relationships, decision-making, boundaries, and ability to trust ourselves. Together, we’ll explore the experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop a stronger sense of confidence, worth, and self-compassion

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Low self-esteem can feel like a constant inner critic telling you you’re not enough. Over time, this can impact relationships, work, and how you see yourself. In therapy, I help you quiet that critical voice, build self-compassion, and connect with your strengths so you can feel more confident and grounded in who you are. Together, we’ll work on creating a healthier, kinder relationship with yourself.

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.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Systems of oppression impact self-esteem by perpetuating discrimination, marginalization, and negative stereotypes that devalue us based on race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or other identities. These oppressive systems can lead to internalized negative beliefs, chronic stress and diminished self-worth as we constantly face societal messages that undermine their value and abilities. This ongoing marginalization and exclusion contribute to feelings of inferiority, powerlessness and self-doubt, significantly harming self-esteem and overall mental health. My approach to therapy actively works to reduce sexism, racism, classism, ableism, weightism and other exclusionary classes by helping you understand how you have been impacted by these systems and deconstructing the beliefs youhold that perpetuate these exclusionary institutions.

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.

Lee Chase
Psychologist, Ph.D.
There are times we have had experiences or interactions that have dampened the way we see ourselves. So often our inner voice is quite negative and judgemental. Through therapy, we will examine what your self-esteem is based on, where it needs strengthening, and how to shore up your coping skills, self-talk, and sense of self.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You can be accomplished, capable, and caring—and still quietly struggle with feeling like you're not enough. Self-esteem challenges don’t always shout; sometimes, they whisper through perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, or the sense that you’re constantly falling short. Many of my clients wrestle with imposter syndrome—feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence of their success. It doesn’t have to stay that way. If your inner critic has been running the show, therapy can help you reconnect with a more realistic, compassionate view of yourself.
At The Momentum Practice, I work with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults who are ready to understand where these patterns began and how to shift them. Together, we’ll explore how early life dynamics—like high expectations, emotional invalidation, or being praised only for achievement—may still shape how you see yourself. We'll also examine how systems of oppression and societal messages around race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, productivity, and other aspects of identity can erode your sense of worth, even when you’ve done everything ‘right’ to succeed despite them.
This is a space where all parts of you are welcome. We’ll work to quiet the self-doubt, build insight, and strengthen your self-trust—so that confidence isn’t just something you perform, but something you actually feel. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a collaborative, affirming space to help you rewrite your internal narrative from self-criticism to self-respect. If you're ready to feel more at home in your own mind, I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have been struggling with self-esteem issues and the challenges that this can lead to in their mood, relationships, sense of competence at school or work, and sense of identity. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming to many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Self-esteem grows from understanding yourself rather than constantly judging yourself. Therapy can help you recognize unhelpful beliefs, develop self-compassion, and build confidence grounded in your values instead of unrealistic expectations or external validation.
