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.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Struggles with self-esteem often show up as self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or difficulty trusting your own voice. Rather than trying to “think more positively,” we explore the deeper patterns that shaped how you relate to yourself. Through somatic and relational work, you can begin to develop a more grounded sense of worth that feels stable, embodied, and less dependent on external validation.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for self-esteem issues, including low self-worth, self-doubt, chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, shame, and difficulty feeling confident or “good enough,” even when supported by others. These struggles can affect relationships, career confidence, decision-making, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to self-esteem counseling, helping clients understand the underlying emotional experiences, past trauma, and relational patterns that often contribute to negative self-beliefs. Many self-esteem challenges are not simply about confidence, but about deeper wounds formed through past experiences, attachment dynamics, criticism, neglect, or emotional invalidation.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process underlying experiences and shift long-standing negative beliefs about themselves. Therapy focuses on reducing shame, increasing self-awareness, and building a more stable and compassionate sense of identity.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a personalized path toward healing and growth. Therapy provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating.
The goal of therapy is not only to improve confidence, but to support lasting change in how clients view themselves and their place in the world. Through this process, clients can develop greater emotional resilience, authenticity, and self-trust.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond self-doubt and develop a stronger, more grounded, and more secure sense of self-worth and identity.

Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
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.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their low sense of self. I help them to identify strengths, and focus on what is in that person's control in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their self-perception.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
In our work together on self-esteem, I meet you exactly where you are—thoughtful, self-aware, and caring deeply about how you show up in your own life and relationships. We’ll slow down and explore, without judgment, the patterns, past experiences, or internalized shame that have quietly shaped how you see and value yourself. Whether those stories show up in your sexuality, your closest relationships, or your sense of safety in your own body, we’ll unpack them together in a warm, collaborative space. You’ll learn to reconnect with your authentic desires and needs, rebuild emotional safety within yourself, and gently challenge the old beliefs that no longer serve you. Most clients begin to feel lighter and more at home in themselves within the first few sessions, moving toward a quieter confidence that ripples into greater closeness, pleasure, and connection in every part of life.

Linda Michlin Ludwig
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self esteem issues are universal. Do you think realistically or unrealistically about your self esteem or self-worth? Do you base your self esteem too much on what others think of you? Self esteem issues are often best treated with a combination of individual and group therapy. If you prefer, I can suggest a workbook for out of session help with self esteem.

Hannah Warshowsky
Psychologist, PhD
I talk about self-criticism, often how we express self-esteem, with all of my clients. Every. Single. One. We call ourselves things we would never call anyone else “disgusting, lazy, unworthy, embarrassing, ugly, stupid. The list goes on and on. Instead of metaphorically beating yourself up for beating yourself up (because that defeats the purpose right?) try some of these tips. ✔️
Try talking to yourself how you would talk to a best friend, small child, or a lovable pet. You can still challenge yourself but say it in a gentle way. “I know you are really tired but you are gonna feel better if you get up and make some breakfast.

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.

Self esteem affects every aspect of your life. If it is something you are struggling with, I invite you to talk with me to see if we might be a good fit in helping you feel better about yourself and seeing yourself more realistically.

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.)

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Low self-esteem doesn’t always mean lacking confidence. Sometimes it shows up as imposter feelings, difficulty setting boundaries, over-functioning for others, or constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough. In therapy, we explore how past experiences, achievement patterns, and internal narratives have shaped the way you see yourself. Using CBT and values-based interventions, I help clients build a more stable sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent solely on productivity or approval. The goal is to strengthen your ability to trust yourself, advocate for your needs, and move through life with greater confidence and clarity.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Our inner assessment of ourselves is hugely important in how we carry meaning in our life. If we hate ourselves or feel chronic failure and disappointment, we are usually not living at the peak of our ability.

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.

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.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you’re outwardly successful but inwardly feel like you’re never quite good enough, it chips away at your ability to show up authentically in your life. Maybe you constantly doubt your own decisions, second-guess your value, or wrestle with the fear that others will see through your confidence to your insecurities beneath. Dr. Jenny Shields helps driven professionals rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self-worth through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and narrative approaches. Her highly individualized style supports you in untangling critical self-beliefs, reclaiming your strengths, and moving toward a genuine, resilient self-confidence—one that isn’t dependent on external validation or fleeting success.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem is often tied to long-standing self-criticism, shame, or a sense of not measuring up. We can look at where those beliefs took root and how they keep showing up today. The work is about building a more balanced view of yourself, strengthening self-trust, and creating patterns that support confidence and self-respect.
