Self Esteem
Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may be hard on yourself no matter how much you accomplish. Maybe you second-guess yourself, compare yourself to other people, look for reassurance that you’re doing things right, or have a hard time feeling okay when someone is disappointed in you. Even when other people see your strengths, it can be difficult to trust those things for yourself.
You may know you want to be more confident without really knowing how to get there. In therapy, we’ll get curious about how you learned to see yourself and what happens in the moments when self-doubt takes over. Over time, the goal is to help you trust yourself more, be less dependent on other people’s approval, and relate to yourself with more kindness when you make a mistake or don’t get everything right.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Your relationship with yourself influences every area of your life. When your self-esteem has been affected by past experiences, criticism, trauma, difficult relationships, or unrealistic expectations, it can become hard to trust yourself, recognize your strengths, or believe that you are worthy of love, success, and happiness. You may struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of failure, or constantly comparing yourself to others. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you can explore the experiences that have shaped the way you see yourself. Together, we'll identify the negative beliefs and patterns that keep you feeling stuck while building a stronger foundation of self-confidence, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to challenge self-critical thoughts, process unresolved experiences, strengthen healthy boundaries, improve emotional regulation, and develop a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself. If low self-esteem is connected to childhood experiences, emotional abuse, trauma, or difficult relationships, therapy can help you heal those underlying wounds rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Our goal isn't to help you become someone different—it's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath fear, self-criticism, and limiting beliefs. As your confidence grows, you'll be better equipped to make decisions that align with your values, cultivate healthier relationships, advocate for your needs, and pursue the life you want with greater clarity and self-assurance.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Self-Esteem is such a difficult thing to work on for people. We are always our own worst critics. We tell ourselves so many negative things about ourselves if we have low self-esteem. It affects our relationships with others. It is important to recognize the value in improving your self-esteem and I can assist you in that process. It is not about saying phony things, it's about understanding the core issues that contribute to your low self-esteem. From there, we can build your self-esteem from the ground up.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
Most of us learn at some point in our lives that there are pieces of us that will be accepted and pieces that will not. When we struggle to feel accepted and loved for who we are, we often develop low self-esteem that presents in a number of ways, including depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction. I work with clients to decrease shame and increase self-love. I utilize a number of techniques to do this but especially love inner child meditations and reparenting. Please reach out to me if you'd like to learn more!

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem can permeate every area of your life—affecting your relationships, career decisions, daily interactions, and overall sense of fulfillment. When you struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, or feelings of inadequacy, it becomes difficult to pursue your goals, set healthy boundaries, or believe you deserve good things.
I help clients understand and transform their relationship with themselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll identify the negative thought patterns and core beliefs that undermine your self-worth—those critical inner voices that tell you you're not good enough, capable enough, or worthy enough. Together, we'll challenge these distorted beliefs and replace them with more balanced, compassionate perspectives grounded in reality. My goal is to help you develop genuine self-confidence, practice self-compassion, and recognize your inherent worth. You'll learn practical skills to quiet your inner critic, celebrate your strengths, and build a healthier, more authentic relationship with yourself.

Anaheim is home to Disneyland and the tourism infrastructure surrounding it, creating an unusual occupational landscape — a large hospitality workforce experiencing the psychological pressures of service work, seasonal employment, and the gap between the 'happiest place on earth' and the economic realities many workers face. The city has a large Latino population concentrated in the flatlands west of the resort district, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists play an important access role for families where cultural and language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. Rady Children's Health Orange County (formerly CHOC) and Kaiser Permanente serve institutional mental health needs in the area, alongside a private practice community serving the newer residential areas. Anaheim's significant Vietnamese and Korean communities in its western neighborhoods also drive demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists.
