Barbara J. Biggs
Professional Christian Counselor, M.A., LLPC
As a therapist specializing in low self-esteem, my mission is to support individuals in their journey towards cultivating a healthier self-image and greater self-worth. I understand that low self-esteem can affect various aspects of a person's life, from relationships to personal achievements. My approach is rooted in empathy and empowerment, as I collaborate with clients to explore the root causes of their low self-esteem and develop strategies to challenge negative self-beliefs. Through a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, self-compassion practices, and self-reflection, I aim to help clients build a more positive self-concept and the confidence to pursue their goals and aspirations with renewed vigor.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Low self-esteem is often linked to past unhealthy attachments and a negative internal dialogue. Evidenced based practices such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help us see how the power of attachments and thoughts impact our internal voice and how we talk to ourselves.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

Lyz Luidens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
It can be very difficult to feel confident when we are constantly receiving input from the world around us about idealized versions of appearance and life - it is very understandable to need some support in healing or developing a healthy sense of self esteem. I am here to support you in your journey towards learning to love yourself, forgive yourself, and accept yourself as you are.

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!

Brandon Zahl
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Are you exhausted from struggling with low-esteem? You know you should be able to believe in yourself but your self-critic is tirelessly pointing out ways you don't measure up. No matter what you do, you never feel quite good enough or worthy of attention, respect and love from others. Together we'll work to build up a sense of self-confidence starting by tapping into feelings of strength and confidence within your body. We'll dig into the messages of unworthiness given to you and stand up to the lie that you're just not good enough. We'll establish your right to set boundaries, to ask for what you need and feel confident in doing so.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Self-esteem is complicated, and we should talk to see if my training is the right approach for you. But when people feel unsafe or anxious within their own bodies, it can be pretty easy to start looking at yourself with wariness, judgment, or shame.
Somatic Experiencing in this case seeks to help you feel safer in your body, to handle any old feelings of danger so you can feel more vital and alive. Dare I say, we can even take small steps towards enjoying the feeling of life.
Once there is enjoyment, and awareness of that enjoyment, self-esteem starts looking much less fixed.

Self-esteem is shaped through early emotional experience and internalized relationships.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help individuals develop a steadier sense of worth and self-respect. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we make sense of what is happening at and beneath the surface—shame, self-criticism, and the standards you carry—and turn that understanding into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less harshness and doubt, more confidence, choice, and the capacity to stand with yourself even under stress.

Dr. Sam Macy

Our relationships with our selves are paramount. My aim is to help people explore the "stories" they've come to hold about themselves, to interrogate limiting beliefs and thought patterns, and to develop self-affirmation and confidence in their place.

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.
