Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Self-compassion is often better than self-esteem because it gives you a steadier, more resilient way to relate to yourself. Instead of depending on success, approval, or comparison, it treats you with kindness even when things go wrong, which makes it easier to recover from mistakes and keep growing. Self-esteem can rise and fall with performance, but self-compassion stays grounded in the simple idea you are worthy of care as a person. That makes it a healthier foundation for confidence, motivation, and emotional balance.

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.

Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Self-Esteem and confidence in ourselves is often lost early on and reinforced again and again along the journey of life. Some people who grew up without a father present or never knew their father often second-guess themselves. This happens because the Father's main role is building confidence in their children, while the mother's main role is nurturing their children. When children have both parents involved in their lives, they have more chance growing up as confident, productive adults.

Fresno sits at the center of California's San Joaquin Valley and serves a largely agricultural economy, with therapists frequently addressing the mental health effects of seasonal work instability, rural poverty, and the physical and psychological demands of farmworker life. The city has large Hispanic, Hmong, and Southeast Asian communities — many with refugee backgrounds — creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with intergenerational trauma, resettlement stress, and identity. Community Regional Medical Center and UCSF Fresno provide institutional mental health resources, while the California State University Fresno psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community. Fresno's relatively limited therapy density compared to coastal metros makes telehealth an important access route for residents across the Central Valley.
