Hannah Warshowsky
Psychologist, PhD
I talk about self-criticism, often how we express self-esteem, with all of my clients. Every. Single. One. We call ourselves things we would never call anyone else “disgusting, lazy, unworthy, embarrassing, ugly, stupid. The list goes on and on. Instead of metaphorically beating yourself up for beating yourself up (because that defeats the purpose right?) try some of these tips. ✔️
Try talking to yourself how you would talk to a best friend, small child, or a lovable pet. You can still challenge yourself but say it in a gentle way. “I know you are really tired but you are gonna feel better if you get up and make some breakfast.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you struggle with self-esteem, you may find yourself doubting your worth, second-guessing your decisions, or relying on others’ approval to feel okay about yourself. You might be highly capable, yet still feel “not good enough,” focusing on your mistakes while discounting your strengths. Over time, this can affect your confidence, relationships, and willingness to go after what you truly want.
I help clients build a stronger, more stable sense of self that doesn’t depend on constant external validation. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the negative thought patterns and beliefs that undermine your confidence. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to change the internal dialogue and emotional responses that reinforce self-doubt. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you take action in alignment with your values, even when confidence isn’t fully in place.
What’s often missing isn’t ability—you likely already have the skills and qualities needed to succeed. What’s missing is an internal foundation of self-trust and a way to interrupt the automatic self-criticism that keeps you feeling small or uncertain. Without that shift, self-doubt continues to influence how you think, feel, and act.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to see yourself differently. If you’re willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you develop greater self-confidence, reduce self-doubt, and build a more secure, consistent sense of self.

Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety, depression , and just generally improve quality of life. In a world so focused on achievement and external validation it can weigh on your own views of yourself. I work with clients to re-establish balance, identity, and self-love to be happy with the person you are and have always wanted to be. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious or negative thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to loving yourself and enjoying what you have to offer the world!

Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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.

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.

Kevin Childs
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We all receive messaging about who we are and what we can achieve. Some of that messaging has been internalized. we have all internalized messages that have influenced how we see ourselves and how we interact with our world. Some of it is accurate and some of it is not... some messaging is helpful, but only for a season... some messaging needs to be updated. The messages that have been communicated to us about ourselves will be examined to determine their proper place in our lives.

Dr. Hina Siddiqui; Insights Psychology
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP, LP
Low self-esteem can quietly shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the choices you make. I work with individuals who struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, people-pleasing, and feeling “not good enough,” often despite being capable and accomplished. Therapy focuses on understanding where these patterns developed, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and building a more compassionate and realistic self-view. Through practical, evidence-based strategies, clients learn to strengthen confidence, set healthier boundaries, and develop a sense of self-worth that is stable, authentic, and not dependent on external validation.

Catherine Quiring
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LCPC
Feeling worthy, valuable, and lovable is a deep human need that doesn't always get met. Or wounds/trauma make it feel untrue. I can help you work through any trauma that is blocking it and meet this need for yourself. To believe that you are worthy and lovable on a deep, bodily level, not just try to convince yourself of it.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Shame and fluctuating self-esteem can often stem from recurrent emotional traumas sustained across development, and in a range of contexts. I will work with you to identity how shame shows up in your life, and contributes to intense and persistently held beliefs about yourself, others, and the world around you. Working at a pace that feels manageable to you, we will explore the root cause(s) of shame in the present, and how to change the way you "speak" to yourself internally.
