Self Esteem
Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
I help clients struggling with self-esteem issues by identifying and challenging negative beliefs about themselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work together to address the underlying thoughts that contribute to low self-worth and replace them with healthier, more empowering perspectives. My approach also focuses on building self-compassion and developing the skills necessary to create positive changes in how clients see and value themselves. With these tools, clients gain confidence and a stronger sense of self.

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
Our sense of self-worth is so important. Valuing who are and what we can do is fuel for the soul. When that critical voice inside tells you, 'You're not good enough' or 'you're going to fail', your self-esteem's taking a hit. Over time, the negative thoughts become ruminations that can erode your sense of self and willingness to engage in life. I can help you unpack the negative thoughts and learn healthy strategies and tools to start feeling better about yourself.

Self Esteem
Janie Venturina
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The way a teen talks about themselves in a session is usually harsher than anything they would say out loud to a parent. Stupid, lazy, a burden, behind everyone else. I help teens notice those sentences as thoughts rather than facts, test them against what is actually true, and build a version of self-talk they can live with. This work moves slowly and it holds, and it tends to change friendships and school in its wake rather than the other way around.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
The way you see yourself can have a powerful impact on your relationships. When self-worth has been shaped by criticism, rejection, inconsistency, trauma, or difficult relationship experiences, it can become harder to trust yourself, express your needs, set boundaries, or feel secure in your connections with others. You may find yourself people-pleasing, seeking validation, staying in unhealthy relationships, questioning your worth, or feeling like you are never quite enough. I help you understand the experiences that shaped these patterns, develop a stronger sense of self, and build healthier relationships rooted in authenticity, self-respect, and connection.
