Self Esteem
Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
The inner critic is a common obstacle that most people face at some point in their meditation practice. When self-critical thought patterns creep into our mind, we can easily become consumed with feelings of shame that sometimes pushes us towards a relentless striving for self-improvement. As we loosen the grip of self-doubt through the cultivation of self-compassion, the voice of inner wisdom naturally emerges to take its place.

Self Esteem
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Low self-esteem can affect nearly every aspect of emotional wellbeing, including relationships, decision-making, motivation, and the ability to cope with stress or criticism. Many individuals struggling with self-esteem experience chronic self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, or a persistent sense of inadequacy despite external success or positive feedback from others.
Therapy can help clients better understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped their sense of self while developing greater self-awareness, self-compassion, emotional resilience, and confidence. My approach focuses not simply on “feeling better” about oneself temporarily, but on building a more stable, authentic, and internally grounded sense of worth and identity.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Most of us have an internal critical voice we have to contend with. For some people, that critic rules their lives. I like to help people reduce the impact of that inner critic and increase their self-compassion.

Self Esteem
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Low self-esteem runs deeper than merely “not feeling confident.” It shapes the way we interpret relationships, respond to criticism, and pursue what we want. Sometimes the harshest judgments we carry about ourselves began as adaptations to earlier relationships or environments in which love, approval, or safety felt conditional. Our work can help uncover how those beliefs took hold, loosen the authority they still carry, and develop a more stable sense of worth that is not so dependent on achievement, reassurance, or the reactions of other people.

Self Esteem
Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Self-esteem is a basic human need. A self is there to be realized and celebrated and not to be aborted and denied. Self-esteem is - in a comprehensive sense - the experience of feeling equal to life and all its challenges.
Self Esteem means to respect myself. But how can I deepen my understanding of self-respect and my resolve to uphold it?
Self-respect provides us honor and happiness, something most of us strive for through all sorts of means. We may try to buy our happiness with new technology, clothes, or vacations. We may try to beautify our bodies in hopes that others will honor us and make us feel loved. Many try to climb to unnecessary heights of material wealth to attract the joy we see missing around us. But those methods usually don’t work. If self-respect forms an important part of how we achieve the happiness and honor we crave, it seems pretty important that we understand it.
I work with the method of Nathaniel Branden and support people in the different 6 pillars of self-esteem. These are: 1. living consciously - 2. self-acceptance - 3. living self-reliantly - 4. asserting oneself - 5. living purposefully - 6. personal integrity.
