Seth Frank
Marriage and Family Therapist, MMFT, M.Div, AMFT
You might look like you have it together on the outside, but inside, you’re constantly questioning yourself, overthinking, comparing, or feeling like you’re never quite enough. Maybe it shows up in your relationships, your work, or the way you talk to yourself when no one else is listening. Maybe this has been with you for a long time or maybe it's just starting to wear you down. It is probably time to stop being so hard on yourself and start feeling more grounded in who you are. I can help. (Look at my practice details to see more about what it would look like to work together.)

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem is often tied to long-standing self-criticism, shame, or a sense of not measuring up. We can look at where those beliefs took root and how they keep showing up today. The work is about building a more balanced view of yourself, strengthening self-trust, and creating patterns that support confidence and self-respect.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help individuals build a stronger and more stable sense of self-worth. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality dynamics, and life transitions across community mental health and private practice settings—I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how patterns of self-doubt and self-criticism are reinforced in the brain and body. I also teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping clients develop greater emotional balance and resilience. Together, we work toward increased self-awareness, confidence, and self-trust so clients can engage in relationships, work, and personal goals with a clearer and more grounded sense of identity.

Dorothy Brown

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 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.)

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
If you spend any time with a preschooler, you notice very quickly they have very few problem with healthy self-esteem or "being themselves!" I believe the erosion of self-esteem is learned through experience (e.g., attachment problems, trauma, neglect, bullying, marginalization, etc.). I utilize approaches like EMDR and ego-state therapies to help heal the experiences that first eroded your inherent feelings of self worth followed by strengthening internal resources to more confidently approach the present and future.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly — it shows up in the relationships you settle for, the opportunities you talk yourself out of, the relentless inner critic that measures everything you do and finds it lacking. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and challenge the deep-rooted beliefs driving low self-worth, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to build genuine, lasting self-confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more secure sense of identity. Telehealth therapy for self-esteem available across 40+ states.

Willow & Arbor, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist
Self-esteem, self-worth, and self-efficacy are not things we all inherently have. These are parts of self that have to be grown and nurtured. Doing this for yourself as an adult can be difficult to navigate. We will work through your personal history and narrative to gain insight into how these have developed for you and impact you now. Then we will process what it means to grow and nurture these parts of yourself in the present.

Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee — the state's flagship research university — and serves as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian outdoor recreation culture, giving it a distinctive blend of college-town energy and Appalachian heritage that shapes its therapy community. The city's growing healthcare sector, anchored by UT Medical Center and Covenant Health, provides institutional mental health resources and supplies clinical training to the local community. Knoxville's working-class Appalachian communities carry distinct cultural attitudes toward help-seeking — including strong value on self-reliance and community support — that therapists must navigate with cultural sensitivity. The University of Tennessee's psychology programs, combined with the city's proximity to Appalachian communities experiencing opioid-related crisis, mean addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma are among the most active areas in Knoxville's local therapy landscape.
