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.

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.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Low self-esteem does not always look the way people expect. It does not always show up as someone who seems visibly insecure or withdrawn. More often it looks like a high achiever who never feels like enough, someone who constantly seeks validation from others, a person who avoids taking risks because failure feels catastrophic, or a man who has spent years measuring his worth by his productivity, his income, or what other people think of him.
The internal experience is usually some version of the same thing: a persistent sense of not measuring up, difficulty accepting positive feedback, a harsh inner voice that is quick to criticize and slow to acknowledge progress, and a pattern of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own.
Self-esteem is not something you either have or do not have. It is built through experience, shaped by relationships and environment, and it can be changed with the right kind of focused work. That means examining where those beliefs about yourself came from, challenging the patterns that reinforce them, and building a more accurate and stable sense of who you actually are.
My approach is direct and practical. We identify the specific ways low self-esteem is showing up in your life, address the thinking patterns and behaviors that sustain it, and build real confidence grounded in self-awareness and action rather than approval from others.
If you are tired of being your own harshest critic and ready to approach yourself differently, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

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!

Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
Low self-esteem in men is often hidden behind over-achievment, competence, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism. I work with men whose internal standards, shame, or negative self-beliefs undermine confidence and relationships. Treatment targets the origins of these beliefs and builds a more stable, grounded sense of self—not inflated confidence, but earned self-respect.

Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
Self-esteem and shame deeply influence how you see yourself and connect with others. When these areas are impacted by early experiences or internalized social messages, they can lead to self-doubt, perfectionism, and harsh self-criticism. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space to uncover the roots of these patterns and replace them with self-acceptance and confidence.
Together, we’ll explore how past experiences and beliefs have shaped your self-view and learn practical ways to shift them. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion work, you’ll begin to build a stronger sense of worth and emotional resilience.
My approach is affirming, empathetic, and client-centered. I’ll help you move beyond shame, develop a more balanced self-image, and embrace your authentic self with confidence.

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.

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.

Low self-esteem and self-worth is something that can be explored both from the past and present. We can look retrospectively to find the origins of these feelings, while simultaneously focusing on the present and future to find ways to move forward with confidence and self-respect.

Having a poor self-image and thinking negatively about yourself can tear you down. But knowing your worth in Christ and tackling negative messages can lift you up and give you a renewed sense of self-worth. Dealing with past issue and messages that led to the self-esteem can prove beneficial to the client.
