Dr. Hina Siddiqui; Insights Psychology
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP, LP
Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the choices you make. I work with individuals who struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, and feeling “not good enough,” often despite being capable and accomplished. Therapy focuses on understanding where these patterns developed, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and building a more compassionate and realistic self-view. Through practical, evidence-based strategies, clients learn to strengthen confidence, set healthier boundaries, and develop a sense of self-worth that is stable, authentic, and not dependent on external validation.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I immediately see so many strengths and wonderful things about the people I meet in my work, and they have such difficulty seeing it in themselves. I assist in reframing negative and irrational beliefs and false narratives, and giving an objective third party perspective to bring you back to center. We explore the origins of these negative self-statements and develop ways to form new belief systems, based on your idiosyncratic talents and skills. Everyone has something great about them, but comparison destroys this feeling (and typically, people compare in ways that make them feel worse rather than better.)

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.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NCC, CCATP
We all have stories that created in our lives that tell us who we are. These stories are started in childhood and continue into adulthood.

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.

Rebecca Turner
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, MA Counseling, school counselor K-12th
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.

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.

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.

As a psychologist specializing in self-esteem, my approach to therapy is focused on fostering a sense of worth, confidence, and self-compassion in individuals. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs while building on their strengths and achievements.

Additionally, I teach practical techniques for assertive communication, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care to promote self-empowerment and resilience. My goal is to support individuals in developing a more positive self-concept, enhancing their overall well-being, and navigating life with greater confidence and authenticity.

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.
