Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Self-esteem is the foundation of how we view ourselves and navigate the world. When it’s strong, we feel confident, capable, and worthy of love and success. But when it’s low, self-doubt and negative self-talk can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Building healthy self-esteem involves recognizing your inherent value, embracing your strengths, and challenging the beliefs that limit you. Through compassionate support and practical strategies, you can learn to see yourself in a more positive light, cultivate self-compassion, and empower yourself to live a life that truly reflects your worth.

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.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem isn't a personality flaw — it's a learned response to an environment that taught you that you weren't enough. At Simple Empathy we don't just challenge negative self-talk, we go looking for where it came from. Whose voice is that? What did it protect you from? What would it mean to actually believe you were enough — and why does that feel so threatening? Using IFS and Narrative Therapy we do the deeper work that makes self-esteem actually stick instead of just performing confidence until something hard happens and it crumbles.

My goal is to support you in embracing your unique value and stepping boldly into the life you desire.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in self-esteem, my approach to therapy is focused on fostering a sense of worth, confidence, and self-compassion in individuals. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs while building on their strengths and achievements. By exploring past experiences, societal influences, and interpersonal dynamics, we work collaboratively to address underlying factors contributing to low self-esteem. Additionally, I teach practical techniques for assertive communication, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care to promote self-empowerment and resilience. My goal is to support individuals in developing a more positive self-concept, enhancing their overall well-being, and navigating life with greater confidence and authenticity.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many clients struggle with a pervasive feeling of not being good enough, which makes it challenging for them to live life authentically and form meaningful and vulnerable connections with others.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
