Self Esteem

Chloe Lankshear

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
Maybe you don't feel very confident, aren't very nice to yourself or you just don't take very good care of yourself. I will do a comprehensive assessment process to really get to know all of the relevant information and then will design a plan with your input to look at how you can change your self-talk for the better as well as how you can set and maintain better boundaries, enabling you to feel good about yourself in a way that doesn't rely on external validation.

Alameda, California therapist: Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp, marriage and family therapist
Self Esteem

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Struggles with self-esteem often have deep developmental roots. Early attachment experiences, criticism, or unmet emotional needs can shape how we relate to ourselves. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, and Emotionally Focused principles to help clients understand where self-doubt, shame, or perfectionism began. Together, we work with the parts of you that carry harsh self-criticism or fear of rejection, while strengthening your core Self—your natural capacity for confidence, clarity, and compassion. Therapy supports lasting change by fostering secure internal attachment and a more grounded sense of worth.

Oakland, California therapist: Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist, licensed clinical social worker
Self Esteem

Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in helping clients build self-esteem by using a variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through CBT, we identify and challenge negative self-talk and limiting beliefs, replacing them with healthier, more empowering thoughts. ACT encourages clients to embrace their values and take actions that align with their authentic selves, fostering self-compassion and acceptance. EMDR is helpful in processing past trauma or experiences that have contributed to low self-esteem, allowing clients to release emotional blocks and develop a more positive self-image. My goal is to support clients in creating lasting, meaningful changes that improve their confidence and self-worth.

Long Beach, California therapist: Zena Caputo, marriage and family therapist
Self Esteem

Zena Caputo

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Chronic feelings of self-doubt and low self-worth can lead to anxiety, depression, unsatisfying social and romantic relationships, distress at work, and to an exhausting sense of always needing to ‘do more’ or push ourselves to the brink just in order to feel like we’re enough. Our work together can help you to increase your understanding of where these internal drives come from, remain connected to your value while you reach for your ambitions, and improve your ability to view yourself with acceptance and compassion so that you can move through life with greater confidence and resilience.

San Francisco, California therapist: Nikita Marina, psychologist
Self Esteem

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.

Erin Hayden

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Struggles with self-esteem often stem from long-standing narratives about worth, success, or belonging. Therapy is a space to examine those narratives with curiosity instead of judgment. Together, we work on building a more grounded, compassionate relationship with yourself.

San Francisco, California therapist: Alison Alderdice, psychologist
Self Esteem

Alison Alderdice

Psychologist, PsyD
It is a painful struggle to achieve the life you want when you are undermined by thoughts of self-doubt and self-criticism. I am passionate about helping individuals develop compassion and understanding about their patterns with self-esteem, identifying and highlighting strengths, and moving toward a self-validating and confident approach to life. Clients who work with me often reflect that they end therapy with more clarity on who they are, what they want from life, and with the skills to pursue and achieve their goals.
