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.

Thea Integrative Therapy: Celine R. Williams
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT #155675
Self esteem work is essential to self actualization. If we not not believe we can, we will limit our potential in all things in life. Some individuals have used shame and harnessed low self esteem as a means of forcing action or productivity, however the ensuing blocks or achievements can feel hollow and meaningless.
Especially for LGBTQ creatives, self esteem challenges can hinder self expression, creative work, and ultimately joy in life.
Thea Integrative Therapy believes that true self actualization and joy in life is sourced from a grounded and positive sense of self. Together, we will work to identify your source of confidence challenges, and then develop a strategy to challenge this belief system to cultivate a secure relationship with your confident best self. You deserve to love yourself, you really do ! And we can show you how.

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.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Self-esteem is often shaped by far more than confidence alone. It can be deeply influenced by trauma, marginalization, neurodivergence, family messages, culture, ableism, racism, and experiences of feeling unseen, misunderstood, or not enough.
I support in exploring the stories you have inherited or internalized about your worth and begin cultivating a more compassionate, authentic, and grounded relationship with yourself. Our work centers self-trust, self-acceptance, and reconnecting with strengths, values, and identities that may have been obscured beneath years of criticism, survival, or adaptation.
