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.

Augustin Kendall
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
In an ideal environment, we develop self-esteem starting at a young age and over the course of our lives. However, many of us did not have support from adults in learning how to value ourselves. We may have internalized critical voices from our past or have gone through painful experiences that left us feeling unwanted or unworthy. I provide support in helping you explore who you are in a deep way, find out what you like about yourself, and process past experiences or relationships that damaged your self-worth.

Building Self-Esteem: From Surviving to Thriving
Self-esteem is the foundation of mental health. It influences how we handle stress, how we interact in relationships, and how we pursue our dreams. Our Master’s level, clinically licensed therapists specialize in helping both adults and youth (ages 10+) dismantle the "inner critic" and build a resilient sense of self.
How We Help You Rebuild Worth
We use evidence-based tools to help you or your child move past shame and self-doubt:
Identifying the Root: Through a full clinical assessment, we look at where self-esteem was wounded—whether through trauma, high-conflict family systems, or societal pressure.
Specialized Modalities: We utilize CBT to challenge negative thought patterns, IFS (Internal Family Systems) to understand the "parts" of you that feel "not enough," and Brainspotting to process the deep-seated emotions tied to your identity.
Youth-Focused Engagement: For clients ages 10+, we use specialized interactive software that helps young people explore their identity and strengths in a medium that feels comfortable and engaging.
Our Collaborative Process
Rebuilding self-esteem is a partnership. We don’t just tell you that you are worthy; we help you feel it.
Current Needs Assessment: We determine how low self-esteem is currently impacting your life (e.g., social anxiety, codependency, or lack of motivation).
Goal Setting: We define what "confidence" looks like for you specifically—is it setting a boundary at work? Making a new friend? Trying a new hobby?
Treatment Planning: Together, we discuss the clinical plan to reach those goals, ensuring the pace feels safe and supportive.
The Role of Support & Accessibility
We believe that seeking help for self-worth shouldn't be a source of stress.
The Right Fit: Use our free consultation to meet your therapist and ensure you feel safe and understood.
Convenience: With online therapy and 7-day-a-week scheduling, you can prioritize your growth on your own terms.
Insurance: We accept all Minnesota insurance groups, making high-level clinical care accessible to all.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
How we feel about ourselves often will influence how we see relationships, life satisfaction, and the world around us. When we see ourselves negatively, we tend to put ourselves down and only believe negative appraisals of who we are. Therapy can help challenge that tendency to be self-critical and only see our worst qualities and build a better understanding about our strengths, attributes, and positive characteristics. We can learn how to show ourselves kindness and compassion and this will help us be better people who are able to be resilient and confront the challenges we face in our lives.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Low self-esteem often manifests as a persistent inner critic, chronic people-pleasing, and the habit of evaluating your entire worth based on external validation. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and acceptance-based strategies, I help individuals identify and dismantle deep-seated, negative core beliefs. Our clinical work focuses on shifting from harsh self-criticism to objective self-appraisal, building healthy boundaries, and establishing a resilient, internal foundation of self-worth that is independent of performance.

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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Low self-esteem often grows out of shame and critical environments. IFS, attachment focused, trauma informed, and narrative therapy help uncover and transform negative beliefs, while mindfulness and humanistic approaches foster self-compassion. I provide careful diagnostic evaluation to distinguish self-esteem struggles from depression, trauma, or social anxiety.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly — it shows up in the relationships you settle for, the opportunities you talk yourself out of, the relentless inner critic that measures everything you do and finds it lacking. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and challenge the deep-rooted beliefs driving low self-worth, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to build genuine, lasting self-confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more secure sense of identity. Telehealth therapy for self-esteem available across 40+ states.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Shame and fluctuating self-esteem can often stem from recurrent emotional traumas sustained across development, and in a range of contexts. I will work with you to identity how shame shows up in your life, and contributes to intense and persistently held beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around you. Working at a pace that feels manageable to you, we will explore the root cause(s) of shame in the present, and how to change the way you "speak" to yourself internally.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
When it comes to enhancing self-esteem, hypnotherapy helps by reaching the subconscious mind, where many of our deepest beliefs and perceptions about ourselves are stored. During a hypnotherapy session, clients are guided into a state of deep relaxation, making the subconscious more receptive to positive suggestions and affirmations. Hypnotherapy can also help uncover the root causes of low self-esteem and work through them, empowering individuals to build a healthier and more positive self-image, paving the way for greater personal and professional fulfillment. Its holistic approach ensures that the benefits extend beyond mere symptom relief, fostering long-term growth and resilience.
