Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Self-esteem is the opinion you have of yourself. When you have healthy self-esteem, you tend to think positively about yourself, and optimistically about life in general. People with healthy self-esteem know that they are valuable, and will be able to name at least some of their positive qualities, such as “I am a good friend”, “I am kind”, “I am honest”, or “I am a good father”.
When you have low self-esteem, you tend to see yourself, the world, and your future more negatively and critically. You might feel anxious, sad, low, or unmotivated. When you encounter challenges, you may doubt whether you will be able to rise to them. You might talk to yourself harshly in your mind, telling yourself things like “You’re stupid”, “You’ll never manage this”, or “I don’t amount to anything”.
Your self-esteem affects how you live your life, but it is fragile. If you have low self-esteem, you might be always trying to please other people, or go ‘above and beyond’ at work or with your friends and family. As long as you keep meeting these standards you may feel OK, but there will inevitably be times when it’s not possible to do so, and this can quickly leave you feeling low and anxious.
Self-esteem exists on a spectrum. Some people with low self-esteem find that it only affects them with certain people, or in certain situations. Other people find that their self-esteem colors everything they do.
Therapy can help rebuild your self worth and help you live a more meaningful and authentic life.

Self-esteem is something everyone struggles with from time to time. My belief is that it comes from childhood messages from both environmental and caregiving factors. I am positive that through talking and working through these factors that patients can find relief and new perspectives on their self-esteem and self-worth

Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Self-esteem is a byproduct of being disciplined and also radical self acceptance. Often times we lack both. CBT therapy as well as a variety of strategies can help a person greatly improve his or her self-esteem.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Hypnotherapist
Self-esteem is shaped through relationships and life experiences, often reflecting early messages about worth, safety, and belonging.

I support clients in strengthening self-trust, self-worth, and a more grounded sense of identity.

Self-Esteem if often related to what messages we got from our parents and our school. Learning that you are worthy often involves dissecting these negative messages and using thought stopping and reframing of our thoughts.

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.
