Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Self-esteem is often talked about like it’s something you either have or don’t—but for many people, it’s been shaped over time by experiences, relationships, and the messages you’ve internalized about who you’re supposed to be. It’s not just about “confidence.” It’s about how you see yourself, how you treat yourself, and what you believe you’re allowed to take up space as. And a lot of those beliefs don’t come from you—they come from dominant cultural norms, family expectations, and environments that may have rewarded certain versions of you while dismissing others.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t try to build self-esteem through surface-level affirmations. We help you understand where your self-perception comes from, how it’s been reinforced, and how it shows up in your day-to-day life—your decisions, your relationships, your boundaries. From there, we actively work with you to shift those patterns in ways that are grounded and sustainable. This might include challenging internalized beliefs, building self-trust, setting boundaries, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been minimized or pushed aside. We also center the question of belonging—how your sense of self is shaped by where you’ve felt accepted or excluded, and how to move toward spaces and relationships where you don’t have to shrink to fit. This is about building a relationship with yourself that feels more stable, more honest, and actually your own.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself, how you show up in relationships, and how willing you are to take up space in the world. You may struggle with self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or feeling like you're never "enough." I help individuals rebuild a more compassionate, confident relationship with themselves—one grounded in self-awareness, resilience, and self-worth. Through therapy, you can challenge old narratives, set healthier boundaries, and begin to see yourself through a kinder, more empowered lens.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I immediately see so many strengths and wonderful things about the people I meet in my work, and they have such difficulty seeing it in themselves. I assist in reframing negative and irrational beliefs and false narratives, and giving an objective third party perspective to bring you back to center. We explore the origins of these negative self-statements and develop ways to form new belief systems, based on your idiosyncratic talents and skills. Everyone has something great about them, but comparison destroys this feeling (and typically, people compare in ways that make them feel worse rather than better.)

Low self esteem is often linked to what happened when you were little and the nurturing you didn't get. Together, we can nurture your wounded parts and bring you into a more self-loving state where you feel truly worthy and deserving of all the good things in this life.

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.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Self-Esteem if often related to what messages we got from our parents and our school. Learning that you are worthy often involves dissecting these negative messages and using thought stopping and reframing of our thoughts.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Low self-esteem doesn’t always mean lacking confidence. Sometimes it shows up as imposter feelings, difficulty setting boundaries, over-functioning for others, or constantly questioning whether you’re doing enough. In therapy, we explore how past experiences, achievement patterns, and internal narratives have shaped the way you see yourself. Using CBT and values-based interventions, I help clients build a more stable sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent solely on productivity or approval. The goal is to strengthen your ability to trust yourself, advocate for your needs, and move through life with greater confidence and clarity.
