Self Esteem
Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Low self-esteem can affect relationships, career confidence, and overall wellbeing. Individuals may struggle with negative self-talk, self-doubt, or difficulty recognizing their strengths. Treatment focuses on building confidence, improving self-awareness, and developing healthier thought patterns that support a more positive sense of self.

Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Self-esteem struggles can make even simple moments feel uncertain. In therapy, we uncover where these patterns come from and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself. You’re capable of far more than the inner critic suggests, and I’m here to help you reconnect with that truth.

Self Esteem
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Self-esteem challenges often show up not just as low confidence, but as an ongoing inner narrative of self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or a feeling of not being “enough” no matter how much you accomplish or give to others. Many clients struggle with over-functioning externally while feeling internally uncertain, unworthy, or disconnected from a stable sense of self.
In therapy, we explore where these beliefs come from and how they have been reinforced over time through relationships, early experiences, and internalized expectations. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens, low self-esteem is understood not as a fixed trait, but as a learned relational pattern that can shift over time.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we gently turn toward the body-based experience of self-doubt — the tightening, sinking, or critical internal voice — and begin to relate to it with curiosity rather than identification. This creates space for new internal experiences to emerge.
As clients develop greater self-awareness and emotional safety within themselves, self-esteem begins to shift from something externally based to something more stable, embodied, and internally anchored.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
How do we come into confidence? One of the first questions I ask my clients is "what does confidence mean to you?" It never ceases to amaze me that each of us has a slightly different definition. What if your definition really doesn't have much to do with it at all? Everything I have learned as a certified professional Holistic Life Coach turned my own definition on it's head. I invite you to share with me what self esteem and confidence mean to you so that we can start to explore how you see yourself and your relation to others. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement the therapy work you are doing; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. I have a toolkit of fun methods and approaches to self esteem designed to help you question your own assumptions, internal unconscious agreements, and unacknowledged (perhaps limiting) beliefs to get to a place of awareness and insight—the place where confidence truly lives.

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.

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Low self esteem and a poor self image, which can get to a point for some people of self-hatred, erodes your life. In spite of achievements, you never feel good enough, and can't feel truly at peace. Because poor self esteem is often a lifelong problem, it can be very hard to resolve on your own. It is often related to trauma in childhood. When I work with clients who struggle with low self esteem, I want to understand how they came to the belief that they are generally not good enough. We also will look at how habits of thought, feeling, behavior, and self care may be reinforcing a negative self image, and work on making changes so a positive self image can be reinforced instead.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Self-esteem can be a tenuous experience that is constantly at risk if we define ourselves by success/failure.

Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Our self-esteem can feel like a roller coaster at times. Sometimes we have all the confidence in the world and other times we have none. For some it might even feel like the self-esteem is never there. Either way this impacts how we show up to our daily lives. Low self-esteem can hold us back and make us believe we are not capable of achieving much. My approach to strengthening self-esteem is paying attention to the negative voices, determining what their motive could be, teaching those voices better ways of achieving that motive, and instilling more self-compassion for the the times when our self-esteem still is not where we want it to be.

Self-esteem or self regard is an important foundation for living in the world. Addressing the injuries and unhelpful conditioning will allow us to make space for that natural acknowledgment of self to emerge in a healthy and productive way.

Struggles with self-esteem can show up as persistent self-doubt, harsh self-criticism, or difficulty trusting your own abilities. Even people who function well outwardly may quietly question whether they are doing enough or measuring up.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Our relationship with self is just as important as our relationships with others; in fact, I believe it often informs what we bring to our other relationships. Our work together will explore messages and beliefs about oneself, identifying where these came from, and creating space to develop your own re-branding of sense of self as an adult.

Sherry Murray
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
It would take forever to list all the things in life that harm self-esteem, compared to the few things that can help to build self-esteem. Counseling can not only help to repair or build self-esteem, but also explore how it got damaged in the first place so you can protect yourself from current or future harms.
