Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Self-esteem is shaped through early emotional experience and internalized relationships. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and embodied awareness to support a more compassionate and coherent relationship with the self. This process helps patients move beyond shame and self-criticism toward greater self-acceptance.

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.

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.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
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.

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.

Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
So many girls and women move through life carrying a quiet but persistent belief that they are not enough, not smart enough, not worthy enough, not good enough, and over time, that belief can shape every decision, relationship, and opportunity they allow themselves to pursue.

We understand that low self-esteem often has deep roots, and we approach this work with gentleness, patience, and evidence-based tools that help you begin to see yourself more clearly and more kindly. Because you have always been enough, and we believe therapy can help you finally feel that way too.

Kaylie Groenhout
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist
Low self esteem is often the result of old parts of ourselves trying to keep us small in order to keep us safe from criticism. Through IFS-informed work and working to align with your values, we update these old beliefs and help you recognize the inherent worth that has been there all along. We focus on building a resilient sense of self-worth that isn't dependent on external validation.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
How we feel about ourselves often will influence how we see relationships, life satisfaction, and the world around us. When we see ourselves negatively, we tend to put ourselves down and only believe negative appraisals of who we are. Therapy can help challenge that tendency to be self-critical and only see our worst qualities and build a better understanding about our strengths, attributes, and positive characteristics. We can learn how to show ourselves kindness and compassion and this will help us be better people who are able to be resilient and confront the challenges we face in our lives.

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.

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.)

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.
