Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
Low self-esteem can undermine confidence, limit your goals, and make everyday challenges feel overwhelming. I help clients understand how unhelpful beliefs and negative self-talk developed, and work to challenge those thoughts while building self-compassion and inner strength. Through evidence-based strategies and supportive exploration, you'll learn how to cultivate a more positive self-image, trust in your abilities, and build lasting confidence in who you are.

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.

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. David Amarel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
My training & experience ranges from psychotherapy & assessment of adults, couples, & teens to counseling persons with AIDS & survivors of trauma with acute PTSD. Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, to end or mend a relationship, I will meet you where you are at. Intentionality & a sense of purpose are key to self-esteem. I’m very familiar with its chicken-egg nature. Behavioral change is a critical component to fostering a more uplifting interpersonal environment.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Low self-esteem rarely comes out of the blue. It's usually the result of internalized messages, past experiences, and parts of ourselves that learned to be critical as a way of coping. I help clients untangle where these beliefs came from and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

Anna Stephenson
Therapist, MA, CCLS, RDT, LCAT
We live in a world where everything feels increasingly curated, perfected, and filtered. Though we’re innately social creatures, our nervous systems weren’t designed to be constantly connected to millions of people selling us their “life-changing” solutions. The pressure to measure up is exhausting.
Therapy offers space to step off that treadmill. Together, we’ll explore what it would feel like to simply be good enough—exactly as you are.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Do you struggle to see your own worth? Maybe you’re constantly comparing yourself to others, feeling not good enough, or doubting whether people truly value you. Over time, these thoughts take a toll, making it hard to trust yourself or feel confident in who you are. I enjoy helping my clients quiet the self-doubt, let go of harsh inner criticism, and build a sense of self-worth that feels solid and real. You don’t have to keep questioning your value, you deserve to believe in it.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Struggles with self esteem often sound like a harsh inner critic, a sense of not measuring up, or difficulty trusting your own worth. In my work with self esteem, I blend somatic therapy, creative interventions, and deep, compassionate listening to help you untangle old beliefs and step into a more authentic sense of self. Together, we’ll gently challenge internalized stories, build confidence from the inside out, and support you in feeling grounded, worthy, and more at home in your own skin.

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.

Buffalo's post-industrial economy and harsh winters contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal mood challenges, and therapists here are experienced in working with these climate-related patterns. The city has a strong community identity and a sizable working-class population, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic stress, relationship issues, and intergenerational family dynamics. The University at Buffalo and Erie County Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while private practices serve those seeking longer-term therapeutic relationships. Buffalo's proximity to Canada and its large Rust Belt peer cities also shapes a regional resilience that many therapists draw on in their work.
