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.

Together we explore how early experiences and internalized messages have shaped the way you see yourself. Therapy becomes a space to reclaim self-worth, strengthen inner authority, and live from a place of authenticity rather than self-criticism.

Often in life, we experience difficult situations, transitions, or changes that can make us feel lost, anxious, and overwhelmed. Therapy should be a process where you have the right to fully express your true authentic self while rising to your fullest potential.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
Most of us learn at some point in our lives that there are pieces of us that will be accepted and pieces that will not. When we struggle to feel accepted and loved for who we are, we often develop low self-esteem that presents in a number of ways, including depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction. I work with clients to decrease shame and increase self-love. I utilize a number of techniques to do this but especially love inner child meditations and reparenting. Please reach out to me if you'd like to learn more!

Self Esteem
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Low self-esteem rarely announces itself directly — it shows up in the relationships you settle for, the opportunities you talk yourself out of, the relentless inner critic that measures everything you do and finds it lacking. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults identify and challenge the deep-rooted beliefs driving low self-worth, self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic self-criticism. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I work with clients to build genuine, lasting self-confidence, self-compassion, and a stronger, more secure sense of identity. Telehealth therapy for self-esteem available across 40+ states.

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.

Self Esteem
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.

Huntington Beach — 'Surf City USA' — cultivates a strong outdoor and athletic identity that creates particular mental health dynamics around body image, performance anxiety, and the psychological costs of a lifestyle culture that prizes youth and physical capability. The city's predominantly White, affluent coastal character contrasts with pockets of economic precarity and a substance use landscape connected to its beach culture and proximity to the broader Orange County recovery community. Hoag Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Huntington Beach and the surrounding South Orange County coastal corridor. The city's proximity to both Los Angeles and the Orange County recovery ecosystem means therapists here frequently work at the intersection of addiction, identity, and the particular stresses of competitive coastal California life.
