Self Esteem
Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Low self-esteem isn't a personality trait it's a subconscious program installed early and reinforced over time. Imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt — these are identity-level patterns, not character flaws. Through Identity 2.0 hypnotherapy, I work with high performers in Dallas and virtually to locate the specific belief structures undermining their self-concept and replace them with an identity that matches their actual capability.

Kourtney Bennett

Self-esteem grows from understanding yourself rather than constantly judging yourself. Therapy can help you recognize unhelpful beliefs, develop self-compassion, and build confidence grounded in your values instead of unrealistic expectations or external validation.

Peter D. Ruffini
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.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Self esteem is an inside job. Most of us have made up stories of ourselves to keep us safe from disappointment, failure, rejection, etc. And, unless we take risk and take uncomfortable action, we will stay stuck as a victim with a story to prove we are right. Staying safe and comfortable does nothing positive for our self-esteem. This is where I find it useful to push people a bit from more of a coaching perspective to hold people accountable in taking action in ways they are going to act differently to get the results they want, and by when did you say?

Self Esteem
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.

Laura Silva, LicMHC - Online/Virtual Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, Traditional, Integrative, Heart Centered counseling. Coach, Educator, Depth Therapy.
There is difference between Self Esteem and Self-Worth, though often used interchangeably. Building positive self esteem is how we evaluate ourselves. It is our internal assessment of our qualities and attributes. We have healthy self esteem when what we think, feel and believe about ourselves is honest and realistic. Unhealthy self esteem can lead to the trap of Narcissism. Low self-esteem is underestimating or ignoring your positive characteristics. Do you tell yourself that you are stupid, lazy, boring, selfish, or generally a bad person because of the things you think, say or do? Through various modalities and new learning, I will help you build skills of positive self-esteem and especially realize your intrinsic value, goodness and capabilities i.e. your Self-Worth.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Low self-esteem often grows out of shame and critical environments. IFS, attachment focused, trauma informed, and narrative therapy help uncover and transform negative beliefs, while mindfulness and humanistic approaches foster self-compassion. I provide careful diagnostic evaluation to distinguish self-esteem struggles from depression, trauma, or social anxiety.

Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self esteem is a the root of many mental health problems: social and other forms of anxiety, depression, harmful relationship choices and sexual confidence to name a few. Whether it is home life or media that instills the ideal of perfect, or provides just a few limited acceptable options on how to be, the ramifications can be lifelong. Therapy is a safe space to better understand and explore yourself and develop certainty in who you are, as well as being a supportive therapeutic relationship to better inform you of who and what are you supports outside of the therapy room.

Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Self-esteem is the foundation of how we view ourselves and navigate the world. When it’s strong, we feel confident, capable, and worthy of love and success. But when it’s low, self-doubt and negative self-talk can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Building healthy self-esteem involves recognizing your inherent value, embracing your strengths, and challenging the beliefs that limit you. Through compassionate support and practical strategies, you can learn to see yourself in a more positive light, cultivate self-compassion, and empower yourself to live a life that truly reflects your worth.

Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself!

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
