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.

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. At Alabaster Counseling, we are passionate about helping girls and women of all ages break free from the patterns of self-doubt and negative self-talk that have been holding them back. 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.

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.

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.)

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
Self-esteem is complicated, and we should talk to see if my training is the right approach for you. But when people feel unsafe or anxious within their own bodies, it can be pretty easy to start looking at yourself with wariness, judgment, or shame.
Somatic Experiencing in this case seeks to help you feel safer in your body, to handle any old feelings of danger so you can feel more vital and alive. Dare I say, we can even take small steps towards enjoying the feeling of life.
Once there is enjoyment, and awareness of that enjoyment, self-esteem starts looking much less fixed.

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.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
I introduced treatment for self-esteem into my practice as a stand-alone goal years ago learning about this topic through research. When working with patients in the first few sessions themes will emerge and I will learn how self-esteem presents itself with them. The three areas of focus in terms of self-esteem and how I approach healing is to look at Self-Love, Self-Confidence and Self-Worth.

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.

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.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my sessions focusing on improving self-esteem, I often employ elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs, replacing them with more realistic and positive thoughts about themselves. Additionally, I integrate aspects of Person-Centered Therapy to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel valued and understood, fostering a sense of acceptance and self-worth. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I assist clients in cultivating mindfulness skills and accepting their thoughts and feelings, empowering them to take meaningful actions aligned with their values and build a more confident sense of self.

Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
Self-esteem or self-respect is the most important thing we need to make sure we have, as a family member of as an addict in recovery. An addict who is still using the addictive behaviour will not feel very much self-esteem until recovery starts.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Self-esteem shapes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how confidently we move through life. When self-esteem is low, people often struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, fear of judgment, or feeling “not enough,” even when they are capable and accomplished. These patterns are often learned over time and reinforced at a subconscious level.
My approach to working with self-esteem is personalized and respectful. Rather than focusing solely on positive thinking, hypnosis helps address the underlying beliefs and emotional responses that influence how individuals perceive themselves. Sessions are tailored to each client’s goals and life experience, supporting the development of healthier self-perception, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Clients often seek hypnosis for self-esteem when long-standing patterns persist despite insight or effort. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that allows clients to remain aware and in control while gently reinforcing more supportive beliefs and behaviors.
This work is offered as a supportive tool for personal growth and is not a replacement for medical or mental health care. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and self-accepting.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
Low self-esteem can feel like a constant inner critic telling you you’re not enough. Over time, this can impact relationships, work, and how you see yourself. In therapy, I help you quiet that critical voice, build self-compassion, and connect with your strengths so you can feel more confident and grounded in who you are. Together, we’ll work on creating a healthier, kinder relationship with yourself.
