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.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Low self-esteem rarely comes from nowhere — it's usually the accumulated weight of experiences that taught you that you were too much, not enough, or fundamentally flawed in some way. Those messages get stored in the body and in our inner world, shaping how we move through relationships, work, and our own minds. I help clients reconnect with a grounded, stable sense of self worth that doesn't depend on external validation — through EMDR to reprocess the experiences that shaped those beliefs, and IFS to build a kinder, more honest relationship with yourself.

Ciera Coyan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Some of the most significant work we can do in therapy is work on our relationship to ourselves. I work with clients who, for whatever reason, have a difficult, negative, or critical relationship with themselves. I focus on helping clients access understanding, compassion, and acceptance for themselves. From there, we can work on changing clients behaviors to align with their values and goals for themselves. Parts work is an incredible tool for self-esteem work and is my favorite technique.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Annie Kurz
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.B.A., LMHC
Understanding self, within the world, the community and family is a necessity to understanding your roles, desires, and talents. Esteem is earned from oneself when attention is paid to all that significantly matters to you whatever your realm of community and purpose. Ms. Kurz provides a road map for learning self-love so that you can subsequently more fully love others. Self-esteem is a natural by-product of this love of self and other.

Low self-esteem usually has a history, often rooted in early relationships and attachment
experiences. We will work to understand that history and build a steadier, more grounded
sense of your own worth.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in helping individuals strengthen their self-esteem and build a more confident, grounded sense of who they are. Low self-esteem often shows up as self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing, or constantly feeling like you’re not “enough.” Together, we focus on understanding where these patterns come from and developing more supportive ways of thinking, responding, and relating to yourself. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, helping you quiet the inner critic, trust yourself more, and show up with greater confidence and clarity in your daily life.

Dr. Jessica Shine
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Do you often feel awkward and self-conscious in social settings? Are you constantly comparing yourself to others and finding you never measure up?
Self-esteem is a concept that speaks to how we feel about ourselves. When one has high self-esteem, they feel confident, centered, and worthy of love. People with low self-esteem often feel shame and self-doubt. They often feel critical of themselves and are unworthy of love or praise.
Having a knowledgeable and supportive therapist in your corner can help you develop a healthier and more realistic sense of self. He or she will help you connect the dots in your life, discover where your low self-esteem came from, and provide tools so you can absolve your negative beliefs and critical self-talk and replace them with self-love and self-compassion.
If you suffer from low self-esteem and would like to explore treatment options, please reach out to me.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Self-esteem is not something you build by telling yourself better things in the mirror. That is cosmetics. Real self-worth is structural — it comes from having been received by someone who could actually see you, and from learning, over time, to hold yourself with that same steadiness. When that early receiving didn't happen, or happened only conditionally, a person learns to earn their right to exist through performance, through usefulness, through disappearing their own needs. Therapy is not about learning to think more positively. It is about discovering that the part of you that was never good enough was answering a question someone else asked — and that you are allowed to stop answering it.

Nikita Marina
Psychologist, Holistic Psychology and Coaching, Past Life Regression Therapy (IST), Spiritual Mentorship
Self-esteem stems from deep appreciation and acceptance of our personal worth and values. In the modern world, our perception and expectations of ourselves are heavily impacted by the distorted mirror of the social media. Even the most externally successful people can struggle from low self-esteem. If not addressed, it can potentially become a debilitating all consuming issue that spills out onto every aspect of one's life. The work on self-esteem is really the work on getting to know and accepting both the parts of us that we like and the aspects that we reject, also known as the Shadow.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The world focuses on our self-worth coming from our accomplishments or appearance. This leads to individuals often feeling discontent. We are all created to be a unique individual who possesses their own personality, strengths, weaknesses and talents. Together, we can help you to discover who you are as a person so you can be who you are meant to be and find your sense of purpose in life.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Self Esteem refers to how we feel about ourself. Rational emotive behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy help individuals recognize the connection between their low self and how their negative beliefs and self talk impact the way they feel about themselves. Once you understand the thought-feeling connection, you will learn a variety of ways to change the way you think, feel and act. You will learn to challenge and replace unheatlhy thoughts and beliefs with more desirable one and guided into taking positive steps in your life. Ultimately, you will learn to accept yourself unconditionally with all your strengths AND weaknesess.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
Many clients struggle with a pervasive feeling of not being good enough, which makes it challenging for them to live life authentically and form meaningful and vulnerable connections with others. My primary task as a therapist is to create an environment in which clients can feel empowered to show up as their whole selves, without fear of judgment and rejection.

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health

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!
