Self Esteem

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.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Low self-esteem can quietly affect every part of your life—from relationships to work to how you treat yourself. You might find yourself doubting your worth, second-guessing your choices, or feeling “less than” compared to others. Therapy can help you break free from those patterns and start believing in yourself again.
In our work together, we’ll explore the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself. Using evidence-informed strategies, we’ll build self-compassion, challenge negative self-talk, and develop practical tools for confidence and assertiveness. Over time, you’ll learn to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and approach life with a stronger sense of self-worth.

Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
At Full Being Services, we help individuals build a stronger, healthier sense of self-worth and confidence. Low self-esteem often develops from past experiences, trauma, societal pressures, or internalized messages that undermine one’s value. Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and centered on helping clients recognize their inherent strengths, resilience, and potential.
We work with adults, adolescents, and young adults to challenge negative self-beliefs, develop self-compassion, and cultivate authentic self-expression. Therapy focuses on practical strategies for assertiveness, boundary-setting, decision-making, and personal growth—supporting clients in feeling empowered both internally and in their relationships and environments.
Self-esteem counseling at Full Being Services is about more than confidence—it’s about fostering a sustainable sense of worth and agency, so you can navigate life with clarity, resilience, and self-respect.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Our relationship with self is just as important as our relationships with others; in fact, I believe it often informs what we bring to our other relationships. Our work together will explore messages and beliefs about oneself, identifying where these came from, and creating space to develop your own re-branding of sense of self as an adult.

Congruent Relationships Counseling & Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
Low self-esteem isn't just "feeling bad" about yourself; it is a fundamental disconnect between who you are and who you believe you’re allowed to be. At Congruent Relationships, we help you dismantle the harsh inner critic that keeps you playing small and replace it with a grounded sense of self-worth. By aligning your internal self-image with your inherent value, we empower you to move through the world with a quiet, authentic confidence that doesn't require a mask.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Confidence is an inside job—and it’s something you can learn to build!
I work with individuals who struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, and feeling unsure of their value. Many of these patterns are rooted in long-standing beliefs and experiences that shape how you see yourself and show up in relationships.
In our work together, we focus on identifying and shifting limiting beliefs, strengthening your sense of self, and building practical skills such as assertive communication, healthy boundaries, conflict resolution, and effective coping strategies.
Over time, this process helps you move out of self-doubt and into a more grounded, confident, and self-expressed version of yourself.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
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.

Self Esteem
Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Low self-esteem can quietly erode your confidence, even when you’re achieving big things—like completing ultras or hitting training goals. You might catch yourself downplaying successes, feeling “not good enough” no matter how hard you train, comparing yourself to others on the trail or in life, or carrying a harsh inner critic that makes every setback feel personal. For endurance athletes, this often shows up as tying your worth to performance, pace, body composition, or external validation.
In our sessions, we gently unpack where these patterns started and work to rebuild a stronger, kinder sense of self. Using CBT to challenge self-critical thoughts, ACT to reconnect with your core values, and DBT skills for self-compassion and emotion regulation, we focus on practical tools that fit your busy athletic lifestyle.
Many clients experience meaningful shifts such as:
Quieting the inner critic and celebrating progress instead of perfection.
Building genuine confidence that isn’t dependent on race results or appearance.
Setting healthier boundaries and speaking to themselves with the same encouragement they’d offer a training partner.
Feeling more worthy of rest, joy, and success—on and off the trails.
Developing a stable sense of self that endures through injuries, DNFs, and life’s ups and downs.
I share practical resources like self-compassion exercises and self-worth journal prompts that we can personalize and use between sessions.
You are already strong—mentally and physically. You deserve to feel that strength in your heart as well as your legs. Together we can help you build lasting self-esteem so you can show up fully, run freely, and finish stronger in every area of life.

Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
Struggles with self-esteem can affect nearly every aspect of life—from relationships and career decisions to mental health and overall well-being. As a therapist, I help individuals identify the internal messages and life experiences that have shaped how they see themselves. Together, we work to challenge self-critical thoughts, build self-compassion, and develop a more balanced and empowering self-image. Through a supportive and collaborative process, I guide clients in recognizing their inherent worth and cultivating the confidence to live more authentically. Lasting change comes not just from thinking differently, but from experiencing yourself in a new, more empowered way—and therapy can be a powerful place to begin that journey.

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?

Dr. Marion Rudin Frank

Poor self esteem may originate from childhood experiences or society. Enhanced relationship with oneself is important for oneself and in order to have healthy relationships with others. Assertive skills work wonders here.

Self Esteem
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is not something you build by telling yourself better things in the mirror. That is cosmetics. Real self-worth is structural — it comes from having been received by someone who could actually see you, and from learning, over time, to hold yourself with that same steadiness. When that early receiving didn't happen, or happened only conditionally, a person learns to earn their right to exist through performance, through usefulness, through disappearing their own needs. Therapy is not about learning to think more positively. It is about discovering that the part of you that was never good enough was answering a question someone else asked — and that you are allowed to stop answering it.

Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Self-esteem can be a tenuous experience that is constantly at risk if we define ourselves by success/failure.

Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
In order to grow your self-esteem, often changes are important. Including and vital, is noticing your self-talk, and noticing yourself succeeding. Rewriting narratives in your head. Maybe you hear in your head someone saying things that put you down; maybe you have become friendly with people who repeat the same things you don't like, but feel familiar, so you continue the relationship. We will come up with ways to work on behaviors, relationships and self-talk/thinking to build your self-esteem. Also how you feel. If this is a life-so-far issue, it will take time. You don't have to be meeting with a counselor/therapist the whole time. We will talk about it and plans to make changes.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults whose self-esteem has been shaped by years of masking, code-switching, or measuring themselves against corporate, academic, or cultural standards, including neurodivergent adults, first-generation professionals, and Latinx clients navigating cultural identity. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify the specific thought patterns underneath self-doubt and build a more accurate, sustainable sense of your own competence. Many of my clients arrive highly accomplished on paper and privately unconvinced of it, our work together closes that gap. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.
