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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. George Lough
Psychologist, Ph.D., S.E.P.
Shame is a major detriment to self-esteem. Self-esteem is built up in childhood, and if we had abusive or neglectful childhood experiences (ACEs or "adverse childhood experiences", we may carry unprocessed shame that interferes with our self-esteem.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Low self-esteem rarely starts with logic. You can list your accomplishments and still not feel like enough. That is because self-worth is held in the subconscious, often shaped by experiences in childhood that we long ago stopped consciously remembering. RTT goes back to those root moments and updates the meaning we made of them. The belief "I am not enough" or "I do not matter" was not chosen consciously and it cannot be argued away consciously either. It can be updated at the level where it lives. Most clients begin to notice a real shift in how they feel about themselves within the first session.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we view self-esteem not just as "feeling good" about yourself, but as the quiet confidence that comes from living in alignment with your true values. We understand that self-worth can often be eroded by harsh self-criticism, societal pressures, or the weight of trying to meet conflicting cultural expectations. Our approach helps you dismantle the "inner critic" and replace it with a foundation of self-compassion. Together we work to identify the core beliefs that keep you feeling "not enough," helping you bridge the gap between who you are and who you feel you should be. Our goal is to help you cultivate a resilient sense of self that remains steady, even when external circumstances change.

Dr. Madelyn Satz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We all have an inner critic. For many of us, our inner critic is very harsh and wreaks havoc on our self-esteem. Whether it comes in the form of Judge, Controller, Perfectionist or Gremlin, these loud inner critics are brutal. But, and perhaps this is counterintuitive, they are also trying to keep us safe by preempting and therefore avoiding the disapproval of others. We can update our interior landscape so our inner monologue can become softer, kinder and quieter. And now through kindness and compassion, encourage us to be the best we can be.

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.

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.
