Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Shame and fluctuating self-esteem can often stem from recurrent emotional traumas sustained across development, and in a range of contexts. I will work with you to identity how shame shows up in your life, and contributes to intense and persistently held beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around you. Working at a pace that feels manageable to you, we will explore the root cause(s) of shame in the present, and how to change the way you "speak" to yourself internally.

Dr. David Leibovitz
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self esteem is so important as it often affects our emotions and informs the choices we make in our lives. Many people buy into negative and often destructive critical thoughts about themselves. In cognitive behavioral therapy, we help you beak free from buying your overly judgmental thoughts as facts, so that you can see your true self and be free to pursue a life of joy and meaning.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients build their self-esteem and repair their self view - something that has likely been destroyed by society and feedback from others about their value and worth. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that does not value people equally. Even highly successful individuals can have a vulnerable self-view that gets activated with setbacks, mistakes, or rejection. If you've found your self-esteem plummeting from time to time, it might be worth investigating what's going on at a deeper level.

Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself. It often shows up as people-pleasing, overworking, shrinking, or a persistent voice in your head that tells you you're not quite enough. In therapy, we gently challenge those patterns, explore where they came from, and help you build a more grounded, honest sense of who you are and what you deserve.

Insight Psychological Group
Psychologist, Psy.D.s, LCSWs, LPCs, LCADCs...
At the heart of any action we undertake is the belief that we can accomplish it. When we don't have that belief firmly fixed, we often do not try. This applies not only to big things, like applying for a new job or asking someone out, this also applies to micro-situations: belief that we can organize our closet, belief that we can lose weight, belief that we will survive the car ride, or belief that we matter to the other person. This is all self-esteem. Our therapists can help you understand why it's so hard to believe in yourself.

Brielle Layden
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self esteem is ever changing as it is always influenced by our external experiences (ie: a new job) as well as our internal experience (ie: negative or positive self talk). I will work with you to develop a healthier self image while working through past experiences that have, or continue to wound your confidence.

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.

Silvina Falcon - Levine
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
Are you disappointed with the way you view yourself and the person you have become? Do you frequently tell yourself that you are inadequate or incompetent, particularly when you compare yourself to others? Do you wish you looked different, were smarter, or had accomplished more academically, professionally or socially? Do you feel you have fallen short of the expectations you had for yourself and that others had of you? Do you wish you could carry yourself with more pride and self-respect?
These are signs of self–rejection and low self–esteem. Judging yourself harshly is an enormously painful experience that causes you to distrust yourself and your abilities. The internal dialogue that criticizes you is alive, powerful, and has a profound impact on your mood and the quality of your life.
I believe that evidence-based methods are the key to alleviate symptoms and relieve this emotional pain. The systematic use of cognitive, behavioral, and motivational methods, as well as mindfulness and relapse prevention, can help you manage moments of self - deprecation and begin experience greater freedom and self - acceptance. There are a variety of evidence-based methods that can help you acquire the tools necessary to improve your self–image and develop self–compassion. A life of self-respect and pride is a life worth living; it is actually a very joyful life. I look forward to partner with you in a journey towards better self - esteem and self - respect.

I help clients identify the thoughts and experiences that trouble them and limit their ability to be their most authentic self and live a life fully as themselves. Together, we unpack the roots of self-doubt and build a more compassionate inner voice.

Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Self-esteem often comes from feeling a sense of mastery over certain hurdles in our lives, whether with children, socially, our jobs, school work, etc. I work with clients in helping them understand themselves, and gain enough confidence to approach challenges that they may be afraid to take or worry they'll fail at. I help clients talk about the fear of failing and the fear of making mistakes-- which in life are inevitable to some degree for all of us.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety, depression , and just generally improve quality of life. In a world so focused on achievement and external validation it can weigh on your own views of yourself. I work with clients to re-establish balance, identity, and self-love to be happy with the person you are and have always wanted to be. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious or negative thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to loving yourself and enjoying what you have to offer the world!

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.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I support clients who struggle with self-esteem, self-doubt, and a persistent sense of not feeling “enough,” even when life looks stable or successful on the outside. Many of the clients I work with are high-achieving, thoughtful, and capable individuals who have learned to be self-critical in order to succeed, but find that inner voice of criticism difficult to turn off.
Low self-esteem can show up in many ways- difficulty trusting yourself, second-guessing decisions, people-pleasing, comparing yourself to others, or feeling undeserving of rest, success, or healthy relationships. Over time, these patterns can shape how you see yourself and how you move through the world.
In therapy, we work together to understand where these beliefs came from, including past experiences, family dynamics, cultural expectations, and internalized messages about worth and value. Alongside this deeper exploration, we also focus on building practical tools to challenge self-critical thoughts and create new, more balanced ways of relating to yourself.
My goal is to help you develop a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself- one where your worth is not dependent on performance, approval, or productivity, but rooted in a more stable and grounded sense of who you are.

Inspired Hope Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The way we view ourselves impacts every aspect of our lives, including relationships, career success, decision-making, and emotional well-being. Low self-esteem can contribute to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and difficulty setting healthy boundaries. Therapy can help you recognize your strengths, challenge negative self-talk, build confidence, and develop a healthier relationship with yourself so that you can move through life with greater self-assurance and resilience.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I work with individuals seeking to build self-esteem from a trauma-informed and relational perspective. Low self-esteem often develops in response to invalidation, relational stress, or chronic pressure to meet others’ expectations, rather than reflecting inherent worth. In therapy, we explore the origins of self-critical patterns, the ways you may have adapted to survive, and how these patterns show up in relationships, work, and self-care.
Our work focuses on cultivating self-compassion, strengthening boundaries, and reconnecting with your values and strengths. Therapy becomes a space to practice self-trust, challenge internalized messages, and develop sustainable ways of relating to yourself that honor your inherent dignity and resilience.

Yaffa Dyckman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Positive self esteem can feel so out of reach sometimes. Negative self talk is so painful and common, and yet we can still feel so alone in it. I have seen great results using psychodynamic therapy and EMDR in this work. You can develop a more compassionate inner voice. You can start feeling better about yourself.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
Many researchers believe that self-esteem and feelings of shame are shaped early in life—often long before we’re fully aware of them. When we’ve internalized shame, it can impact how we interpret the world around us. Even neutral or positive social or work interactions can feel threatening, confusing, or rejecting. Over time, this can create a painful cycle of self-doubt, anxiety, and disconnection.
Low self-esteem and chronic shame can deeply affect how you see yourself and relate to others. But the good news is: these patterns can be understood, challenged, and changed.
In therapy, we’ll work together to explore the roots of these feelings and begin to shift the way you relate to yourself. Psychotherapy can help you build the tools to regulate stress, quiet your inner critic, and create more balanced, compassionate self-awareness.
You deserve to feel worthy, confident, and connected. Healing starts with understanding—and grows through kindness, courage, and support.
