Dr. Ylenia Martinez

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Low self-esteem doesn’t always look like insecurity—it can show up as chronic self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, or the quiet belief that you’re never quite “enough.” Whether you're navigating a personal transition, professional pressure, or long-standing patterns of self-criticism, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you rebuild a more grounded and compassionate sense of self.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the core beliefs and behavioral patterns that sustain low self-worth. We’ll explore how early experiences, internalized narratives, and current stressors shape your self-concept—and develop practical tools to challenge distortions, clarify values, and build authentic confidence. For clients managing high-functioning anxiety or perfectionism, I also offer targeted psychoeducation and values-based decision support.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly struggling behind a polished exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that honors your history and equips you for growth.

Carrie Jones, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LifeVision Counseling, LLC
Feeling good about yourself is one of the keys to reaching your highest potential and living a great life. If your self-esteem is at a low or you're second guessing yourself, you can start to feel pretty bad. Often stressful life events, negative self-talk and thought patterns, spending time with negative or judgmental people, and even social media can cause your self-esteem to take a hit. Fortunately, there are actions you can take to start loving and embodying the full and authentic version of yourself. Some of these actions include pattern-interrupts, emotional check-ins, and diving into self-discovery. What therapy can help you realize and believe is that you're "good enough" just because you're you.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
On the outside, you're swimming right along. On the inside, you feel like a fraud. A failure. Any minute now, someone might find out who you really are.
Ouch! It's so exhausting to keep beating yourself up and hiding that you're beating yourself up. Let's break that cycle. I work with folks to examine where this pattern came from, and how we can change those underlying beliefs to help you learn to love yourself. You deserve love. You deserve connection. You deserve healing. Let's get to work.

Grace in the Shadows

I address issues of self-esteem with a compassionate and faith-based approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward a healthier sense of self-worth. Recognizing the significance of understanding one's identity in Christ, I incorporate biblical teachings on love, purpose, and the inherent value of each person. Through therapy sessions that may include prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on God's perspective, I collaborate with individuals to explore the root causes of low self-esteem and develop strategies for building a positive self-image. Encouraging reliance on God's unconditional love and acceptance, I empower individuals to overcome negative thought patterns and embrace their true identity within the context of their Christian faith, fostering a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence.

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.

Low self-esteem can influence the way you view yourself, your relationships, and your ability to pursue goals. Therapy can help you identify and challenge the beliefs that keep you feeling stuck, develop greater self-compassion, recognize your strengths, and build confidence that is rooted in authenticity rather than external validation.

Bruce Clark

Struggling with self-esteem can leave you feeling not good enough or feelings of frequent comparison. Maybe you have low self-esteem in general. Maybe you struggle with imposter syndrome. Regardless, these patterns often run deep, shaped by past experiences and internalized messages. In therapy, I help you explore where these beliefs come from, build self-compassion, and reconnect with a more confident, grounded sense of who you are.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Low self-esteem often manifests as a persistent inner critic, chronic people-pleasing, and the habit of evaluating your entire worth based on external validation. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and acceptance-based strategies, I help individuals identify and dismantle deep-seated, negative core beliefs. Our clinical work focuses on shifting from harsh self-criticism to objective self-appraisal, building healthy boundaries, and establishing a resilient, internal foundation of self-worth that is independent of performance.
