Self Esteem
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.

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.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults whose self-esteem has been shaped by years of masking, code-switching, or measuring themselves against corporate, academic, or cultural standards, including neurodivergent adults, first-generation professionals, and Latinx clients navigating cultural identity. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify the specific thought patterns underneath self-doubt and build a more accurate, sustainable sense of your own competence. Many of my clients arrive highly accomplished on paper and privately unconvinced of it, our work together closes that gap. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Self Esteem
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.

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.

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.

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.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Self Esteem refers to how we feel about ourself. Rational emotive behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy help individuals recognize the connection between their low self and how their negative beliefs and self talk impact the way they feel about themselves. Once you understand the thought-feeling connection, you will learn a variety of ways to change the way you think, feel and act. You will learn to challenge and replace unheatlhy thoughts and beliefs with more desirable one and guided into taking positive steps in your life. Ultimately, you will learn to accept yourself unconditionally with all your strengths AND weaknesess.

Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
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.

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.
