Self Esteem
Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Self-esteem issues is a polite way of talking about shame. Underneath the mean things you say about yourself is shame and fear. I've struggled with this most of my life. The terrible things I used to say about myself always seemed to manifest around me, which kept me trapped. We will work to unwind the web of beliefs you have and find the beauty deep inside.

When You Feel “Not Enough”
You may look like you have it all together — capable, caring, successful — yet underneath it all, you’re often questioning yourself. You replay conversations, worry you’ve disappointed someone, or feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. Even small mistakes can feel huge, and compliments are hard to believe. If you’re stuck in cycles of perfectionism, self-criticism, or people-pleasing, I can help you change how you relate to yourself from the inside out.
Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, we’ll uncover the beliefs that fuel low self-worth and learn how to replace them with compassion, confidence, and emotional balance. Together, we’ll work to:
Quiet the inner critic that keeps moving the goalpost
Identify and challenge distorted thoughts about your value and competence
Build emotional resilience so your mood isn’t dependent on others’ approval
Strengthen your sense of identity and confidence in your choices
Experience genuine self-respect — not the temporary kind that fades with praise or performance
You’ll gain tools you can use daily to shift from feeling “not enough” to knowing you are already whole. Therapy becomes less about “fixing yourself” and more about discovering your worth that’s been there all along.
I BELIEVE:
You can be both confident and a work in progress.
Self-compassion creates change faster than self-criticism ever will.
You deserve relationships that mirror your true worth — not your self-doubt.
Confidence is a skill you can learn, not a personality trait you either have or don’t.
Growth happens when we replace judgment with curiosity and kindness.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach
