Self Esteem
Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You may be hard on yourself no matter how much you accomplish. Maybe you second-guess yourself, compare yourself to other people, look for reassurance that you’re doing things right, or have a hard time feeling okay when someone is disappointed in you. Even when other people see your strengths, it can be difficult to trust those things for yourself.
You may know you want to be more confident without really knowing how to get there. In therapy, we’ll get curious about how you learned to see yourself and what happens in the moments when self-doubt takes over. Over time, the goal is to help you trust yourself more, be less dependent on other people’s approval, and relate to yourself with more kindness when you make a mistake or don’t get everything right.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Your relationship with yourself influences every area of your life. When your self-esteem has been affected by past experiences, criticism, trauma, difficult relationships, or unrealistic expectations, it can become hard to trust yourself, recognize your strengths, or believe that you are worthy of love, success, and happiness. You may struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of failure, or constantly comparing yourself to others. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you can explore the experiences that have shaped the way you see yourself. Together, we'll identify the negative beliefs and patterns that keep you feeling stuck while building a stronger foundation of self-confidence, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to challenge self-critical thoughts, process unresolved experiences, strengthen healthy boundaries, improve emotional regulation, and develop a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself. If low self-esteem is connected to childhood experiences, emotional abuse, trauma, or difficult relationships, therapy can help you heal those underlying wounds rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Our goal isn't to help you become someone different—it's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath fear, self-criticism, and limiting beliefs. As your confidence grows, you'll be better equipped to make decisions that align with your values, cultivate healthier relationships, advocate for your needs, and pursue the life you want with greater clarity and self-assurance.

Self Esteem
Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Self-Esteem is such a difficult thing to work on for people. We are always our own worst critics. We tell ourselves so many negative things about ourselves if we have low self-esteem. It affects our relationships with others. It is important to recognize the value in improving your self-esteem and I can assist you in that process. It is not about saying phony things, it's about understanding the core issues that contribute to your low self-esteem. From there, we can build your self-esteem from the ground up.

Self Esteem
Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Low self-esteem can permeate every area of your life—affecting your relationships, career decisions, daily interactions, and overall sense of fulfillment. When you struggle with self-doubt, negative self-talk, or feelings of inadequacy, it becomes difficult to pursue your goals, set healthy boundaries, or believe you deserve good things.
I help clients understand and transform their relationship with themselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll identify the negative thought patterns and core beliefs that undermine your self-worth—those critical inner voices that tell you you're not good enough, capable enough, or worthy enough. Together, we'll challenge these distorted beliefs and replace them with more balanced, compassionate perspectives grounded in reality. My goal is to help you develop genuine self-confidence, practice self-compassion, and recognize your inherent worth. You'll learn practical skills to quiet your inner critic, celebrate your strengths, and build a healthier, more authentic relationship with yourself.

Fullerton is an Orange County city home to California State University Fullerton, one of the largest campuses in the Cal State system, and the city's mental health landscape is anchored by the significant mental health needs of a large, diverse student body that includes a high proportion of first-generation college students from Latino, Asian, and working-class backgrounds. CSUF's comprehensive counseling center is a key resource, and the city's diverse permanent population—with large Latino, Vietnamese, and Korean communities—creates demand for multilingual and culturally competent private therapy. Orange County behavioral health services extend to Fullerton, and the county's strong private therapy sector is accessible to residents across the area. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, first-generation college student challenges, family and intergenerational dynamics, anxiety, and the navigation of multiple cultural identities in a diverse suburban city.
