Self Esteem
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is not something you build by telling yourself better things in the mirror. That is cosmetics. Real self-worth is structural — it comes from having been received by someone who could actually see you, and from learning, over time, to hold yourself with that same steadiness. When that early receiving didn't happen, or happened only conditionally, a person learns to earn their right to exist through performance, through usefulness, through disappearing their own needs. Therapy is not about learning to think more positively. It is about discovering that the part of you that was never good enough was answering a question someone else asked — and that you are allowed to stop answering it.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You want to feel confident and secure, but instead you are constantly thinking of yourself as flawed in some way, not good enough, or unlovable? It has been hard for you to work on these self-esteem concerns on your own. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from the negative impacts of low self-esteem. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Self Esteem
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.

Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Struggles with self-esteem often run deeper than just “confidence.” They’re shaped by past experiences, relationships, and the way you’ve learned to see yourself over time. Together, we work to understand where those patterns come from and begin shifting the internal narrative. The goal here is to develop sense of self so you can move through life with a stronger, more stable sense of self.

Self Esteem
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
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.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The world focuses on our self-worth coming from our accomplishments or appearance. This leads to individuals often feeling discontent. We are all created to be a unique individual who possesses their own personality, strengths, weaknesses and talents. Together, we can help you to discover who you are as a person so you can be who you are meant to be and find your sense of purpose in life.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help individuals build a stronger and more stable sense of self-worth. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality dynamics, and life transitions across community mental health and private practice settings—I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how patterns of self-doubt and self-criticism are reinforced in the brain and body. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping clients develop greater emotional balance and resilience. Together, we work toward increased self-awareness, confidence, and self-trust so clients can engage in relationships, work, and personal goals with a clearer and more grounded sense of identity.

Self Esteem
Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.
