Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly. More often it shows up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, the inability to receive a compliment, the constant feeling that you're one mistake away from being found out, or the habit of making yourself smaller so others are more comfortable. I work with clients who have spent years measuring their worth by what they produce, who they please, or how well they perform — and who are ready to build a more stable, internal sense of who they are. This work often intersects with adoption, relationships, and athletic identity, but its roots are always deeply personal.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self Esteem has numerous ways that it can become a struggle; maybe it’s a lack of confidence, maybe it’s not believing you deserve good things, maybe it’s less noticeable ways that you forget to take care of yourself, and sometimes it’s a doubt that underneath it all, there is a self that exists, let alone deserves esteem. As a psychologist specializing in building deeper connection to one’s self, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to open shame-free spaces and explore who you are and who you want to be. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our sense of self is formed or disrupted by our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With so many pressures and impossible standards around us, it can be easy to feel defeated and inadequate. And oftentimes, our minds are so quick to criticize ourselves for any perceived slight. Together, we can work on building your self-esteem by understanding the "rules" and messages you may be holding on tightly to, your unique areas of strength and challenge, and ways to interact with yourself in a more compassionate manner. Low self-esteem is often intertwined with other experiences and challenges that we can disentangle and navigate together.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients build their self-esteem and repair their self view - something that has likely been destroyed by society and feedback from others about their value and worth. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that does not value people equally. Even highly successful individuals can have a vulnerable self-view that gets activated with setbacks, mistakes, or rejection. If you've found your self-esteem plummeting from time to time, it might be worth investigating what's going on at a deeper level.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people who appear capable and put together but carry a quiet, persistent sense of not being enough. This can look like self‑criticism, difficulty trusting your own judgment, comparing yourself to others, downplaying your own needs or accomplishments, or feeling like you are always falling short of who you are supposed to be. Many of the adults I see have spent years meeting expectations, supporting others, or performing well in work or school while privately feeling inadequate, invisible, or unsure of their worth.
Low self‑esteem often develops in environments where your needs were minimized, where you were praised for being responsible or easy, or where you learned to stay small to avoid conflict or disappointment. Over time, these patterns can shape how you see yourself, how you move through relationships, and what you believe you are allowed to want.
In our work together, we explore the origins of these beliefs and how they show up in your body, emotions, and daily life. We look at the roles you have carried, the expectations you have internalized, and the parts of you that are tired of feeling not enough. The goal is not to create artificial confidence but to help you develop a more grounded, accurate sense of yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, self‑respect, and choice. Supporting people who have learned to minimize themselves or feel “not enough” is central to my practice, and I have deep respect for how hard you’ve worked to hold things together.

Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Struggling with self-esteem can leave you feeling not good enough or feelings of frequent comparison. Maybe you have low self-esteem in general. Maybe you struggle with imposter syndrome. Regardless, these patterns often run deep, shaped by past experiences and internalized messages. In therapy, I help you explore where these beliefs come from, build self-compassion, and reconnect with a more confident, grounded sense of who you are.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a persistent sense of not feeling “good enough.” Difficulties with self-esteem often reflect internalized expectations and relational experiences that shape how individuals view themselves.
My work is grounded in the belief that self-esteem develops within relationships and emotional history. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to explore the origins of self-critical patterns and to understand how they continue to influence present experience. As individuals develop a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of themselves, a more stable sense of self-worth can gradually emerge.
I also work with couples who wish to understand how self-esteem concerns affect communication and intimacy.

Courtney Latham
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Self-Esteem is an integral part of how we see ourselves. Sometimes we lose this sense of self when our actions don't match our values, or we have overly high expectations that are unrealistic and unattainable. At Revitalize, we work together to find techniques (big or small) to enforce change.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Low self-esteem isn't a character flaw — it's almost always the result of experiences that taught you something untrue about your worth. At Restored, we use EMDR and attachment-based therapy to address those deeply held beliefs at the subconscious level where they actually live, helping clients experience a genuine shift in how they see and relate to themselves — not just intellectually, but in the body and in everyday life.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Self-esteem isn’t just about confidence—it’s about how you see yourself at your core. If you grew up in an environment where love felt conditional, criticism was constant, or your emotions weren’t valued, you may have learned to question your worth. Maybe you tell yourself you’re not good enough, push yourself to exhaustion to prove your value, or shrink in relationships to avoid rejection. Deep down, you might struggle with shame—the belief that something is fundamentally wrong with you. Even when you achieve success or receive love, it can feel like an accident, as if people will see the “real you” and realize you’re not enough. This isn’t just insecurity—it’s the result of old emotional wounds that need healing.
Post-Induction Therapy (PIT) helps break the cycle of shame and rebuild self-worth from the inside out. Developed by Pia Mellody, PIT addresses the deep emotional wounds from childhood that shape how you see yourself today. In therapy, we work to identify and heal the toxic messages you internalized, so you can stop defining yourself by past experiences and start believing in your inherent worth. You don’t have to keep proving yourself, people-pleasing, or battling the fear that you’re not enough. Therapy helps you release shame, reclaim your self-esteem, and finally feel comfortable in your own skin—not because you’ve earned it, but because you’ve always been worthy.

Self-esteem is not a "nice to have"...it is a "NEED to have". How we see ourselves is fundamental, it is the lens through which we see our world and everything and everyone in it. Improving self-esteem is the #1 thing you can do to make your life better. I work with people on self-esteem more and more and welcome working with you on it.
