Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Low self-esteem isn't a personality trait it's a subconscious program installed early and reinforced over time. Imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt — these are identity-level patterns, not character flaws. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work with high performers in Dallas and virtually to locate the specific belief structures undermining their self-concept and replace them with an identity that matches their actual capability.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people struggle with self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or feelings of not being "good enough," whether in school, at work, in relationships, or other areas of life. These experiences can make it difficult to recognize your strengths, trust yourself, and pursue the life you want.
In therapy, we'll work together to better understand the beliefs and experiences that have shaped your self-esteem and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, we'll challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build self-compassion, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more confident, resilient, and authentic in your daily 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self-esteem grows from understanding yourself rather than constantly judging yourself. Therapy can help you recognize unhelpful beliefs, develop self-compassion, and build confidence grounded in your values instead of unrealistic expectations or external validation.

Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
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.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
If you spend any time with a preschooler, you notice very quickly they have very few problem with healthy self-esteem or "being themselves!" I believe the erosion of self-esteem is learned through experience (e.g., attachment problems, trauma, neglect, bullying, marginalization, etc.). I utilize approaches like EMDR and ego-state therapies to help heal the experiences that first eroded your inherent feelings of self worth followed by strengthening internal resources to more confidently approach the present and future.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggling with self-esteem can feel like carrying around a quiet but persistent voice that tells you you’re not good enough, no matter how much you accomplish or how hard you try. It might show up as self-doubt in relationships, difficulty asserting your needs, or constantly comparing yourself to others. Maybe you find yourself replaying past mistakes or feeling like you have to prove your worth to those around you. Over time, these patterns can take a toll on your confidence and hold you back from fully embracing your life.
Building self-esteem isn’t about striving for perfection—it’s about changing the way you see yourself, learning to challenge self-criticism, and developing a more compassionate, confident inner voice. Together, we’ll work to uncover the beliefs that have shaped your self-perception, recognize the strengths that already exist within you, and help you move toward a sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin, trust in your abilities, and advocate for yourself with confidence.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You can be accomplished, capable, and caring—and still quietly struggle with feeling like you're not enough. Self-esteem challenges don’t always shout; sometimes, they whisper through perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, or the sense that you’re constantly falling short. Many of my clients wrestle with imposter syndrome—feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence of their success. It doesn’t have to stay that way. If your inner critic has been running the show, therapy can help you reconnect with a more realistic, compassionate view of yourself.
At The Momentum Practice, I work with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults who are ready to understand where these patterns began and how to shift them. Together, we’ll explore how early life dynamics—like high expectations, emotional invalidation, or being praised only for achievement—may still shape how you see yourself. We'll also examine how systems of oppression and societal messages around race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, productivity, and other aspects of identity can erode your sense of worth, even when you’ve done everything ‘right’ to succeed despite them.
This is a space where all parts of you are welcome. We’ll work to quiet the self-doubt, build insight, and strengthen your self-trust—so that confidence isn’t just something you perform, but something you actually feel. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a collaborative, affirming space to help you rewrite your internal narrative from self-criticism to self-respect. If you're ready to feel more at home in your own mind, I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Our relationship with self is just as important as our relationships with others; in fact, I believe it often informs what we bring to our other relationships. Our work together will explore messages and beliefs about oneself, identifying where these came from, and creating space to develop your own re-branding of sense of self as an adult.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Low self-esteem often isn’t a lack of ability—it’s a learned relationship with yourself shaped by old experiences, chronic self-criticism, comparison, or the feeling of “not enough.” For many high-functioning people, it can also show up as imposter feelings: the sense that success isn’t truly deserved or that you could be “found out” at any moment. Many people cope by overachieving, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or shrinking their needs to avoid judgment.
In our work together, we identify the beliefs and protective strategies underneath self-doubt and build a steadier form of self-trust. That includes strengthening boundaries, practicing more honest self-talk, working with shame and fear of evaluation, and learning how to take meaningful action even when confidence isn’t fully online. Often, confidence returns as self-trust strengthens. The goal isn’t inflated confidence, but a grounded sense of worth—so you can show up in relationships and in life with greater clarity and a stronger sense of agency and freedom.
