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.)

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.

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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With so many pressures and impossible standards around us, it can be easy to feel defeated and inadequate. And oftentimes, our minds are so quick to criticize ourselves for any perceived slight. Together, we can work on building your self-esteem by understanding the "rules" and messages you may be holding on tightly to, your unique areas of strength and challenge, and ways to interact with yourself in a more compassionate manner. Low self-esteem is often intertwined with other experiences and challenges that we can disentangle and navigate together.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Struggling with self-esteem can feel like carrying around a quiet but persistent voice that tells you you’re not good enough, no matter how much you accomplish or how hard you try. It might show up as self-doubt in relationships, difficulty asserting your needs, or constantly comparing yourself to others. Maybe you find yourself replaying past mistakes or feeling like you have to prove your worth to those around you. Over time, these patterns can take a toll on your confidence and hold you back from fully embracing your life.
Building self-esteem isn’t about striving for perfection—it’s about changing the way you see yourself, learning to challenge self-criticism, and developing a more compassionate, confident inner voice. Together, we’ll work to uncover the beliefs that have shaped your self-perception, recognize the strengths that already exist within you, and help you move toward a sense of self-worth that isn’t dependent on external validation. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin, trust in your abilities, and advocate for yourself with confidence.

Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Our inner assessment of ourselves is hugely important in how we carry meaning in our life. If we hate ourselves or feel chronic failure and disappointment, we are usually not living at the peak of our ability.

Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Self-esteem is the foundation of how we view ourselves and navigate the world. When it’s strong, we feel confident, capable, and worthy of love and success. But when it’s low, self-doubt and negative self-talk can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Building healthy self-esteem involves recognizing your inherent value, embracing your strengths, and challenging the beliefs that limit you. Through compassionate support and practical strategies, you can learn to see yourself in a more positive light, cultivate self-compassion, and empower yourself to live a life that truly reflects your worth.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in self-esteem, my approach to therapy is focused on fostering a sense of worth, confidence, and self-compassion in individuals. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs while building on their strengths and achievements. By exploring past experiences, societal influences, and interpersonal dynamics, we work collaboratively to address underlying factors contributing to low self-esteem. Additionally, I teach practical techniques for assertive communication, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care to promote self-empowerment and resilience. My goal is to support individuals in developing a more positive self-concept, enhancing their overall well-being, and navigating life with greater confidence and authenticity.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
In our work together on self-esteem, I meet you exactly where you are—thoughtful, self-aware, and caring deeply about how you show up in your own life and relationships. We’ll slow down and explore, without judgment, the patterns, past experiences, or internalized shame that have quietly shaped how you see and value yourself. Whether those stories show up in your sexuality, your closest relationships, or your sense of safety in your own body, we’ll unpack them together in a warm, collaborative space. You’ll learn to reconnect with your authentic desires and needs, rebuild emotional safety within yourself, and gently challenge the old beliefs that no longer serve you. Most clients begin to feel lighter and more at home in themselves within the first few sessions, moving toward a quieter confidence that ripples into greater closeness, pleasure, and connection in every part of life.

Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You can be accomplished, capable, and caring—and still quietly struggle with feeling like you're not enough. Self-esteem challenges don’t always shout; sometimes, they whisper through perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, or the sense that you’re constantly falling short. Many of my clients wrestle with imposter syndrome—feeling like a fraud despite clear evidence of their success. It doesn’t have to stay that way. If your inner critic has been running the show, therapy can help you reconnect with a more realistic, compassionate view of yourself.
At The Momentum Practice, I work with high-achieving professionals and emerging adults who are ready to understand where these patterns began and how to shift them. Together, we’ll explore how early life dynamics—like high expectations, emotional invalidation, or being praised only for achievement—may still shape how you see yourself. We'll also examine how systems of oppression and societal messages around race, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, productivity, and other aspects of identity can erode your sense of worth, even when you’ve done everything ‘right’ to succeed despite them.
This is a space where all parts of you are welcome. We’ll work to quiet the self-doubt, build insight, and strengthen your self-trust—so that confidence isn’t just something you perform, but something you actually feel. With over 15 years of experience, I offer a collaborative, affirming space to help you rewrite your internal narrative from self-criticism to self-respect. If you're ready to feel more at home in your own mind, I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!
