Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with self-esteem, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic. Many people come to therapy feeling not “good enough,” second-guessing themselves, or feeling stuck in patterns that affect their confidence, relationships, and overall well-being.
In therapy, we explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped how you see yourself, while building greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients understand their emotional patterns and develop a stronger, more grounded sense of self. The goal is to help you move toward greater confidence, authenticity, and a more supportive relationship with yourself.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
If your self-esteem feels like it is too low or it yo-yos based on what people say or do around you, then increasing self-compassion and self-love can be really valuable in building self-esteem and confidence for the long-term. Having a healthy self-esteem is important, a more fulfilling and fun way to live, and helpful in drawing in the types of relationships that we long for. Demonstrating having a healthy self-esteem is also a beautiful thing to model when we long for that in our kids too.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Struggles with self-esteem often develop from early experiences that shaped how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve. Together we explore the origins of self-criticism, perfectionism, and negative core beliefs. Using trauma-informed and somatic approaches, we work to quiet the inner critic and build a more grounded, stable sense of self-worth that is not dependent on constant achievement or approval.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You Feel “Not Enough”
You may look like you have it all together — capable, caring, successful — yet underneath it all, you’re often questioning yourself. You replay conversations, worry you’ve disappointed someone, or feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. Even small mistakes can feel huge, and compliments are hard to believe. If you’re stuck in cycles of perfectionism, self-criticism, or people-pleasing, I can help you change how you relate to yourself from the inside out.
Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, we’ll uncover the beliefs that fuel low self-worth and learn how to replace them with compassion, confidence, and emotional balance. Together, we’ll work to:
Quiet the inner critic that keeps moving the goalpost
Identify and challenge distorted thoughts about your value and competence
Build emotional resilience so your mood isn’t dependent on others’ approval
Strengthen your sense of identity and confidence in your choices
Experience genuine self-respect — not the temporary kind that fades with praise or performance
You’ll gain tools you can use daily to shift from feeling “not enough” to knowing you are already whole. Therapy becomes less about “fixing yourself” and more about discovering your worth that’s been there all along.
I BELIEVE:
You can be both confident and a work in progress.
Self-compassion creates change faster than self-criticism ever will.
You deserve relationships that mirror your true worth — not your self-doubt.
Confidence is a skill you can learn, not a personality trait you either have or don’t.
Growth happens when we replace judgment with curiosity and kindness.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Inglewood is an LA County city adjacent to Los Angeles with a historically significant Black community that is undergoing rapid and dramatic transformation driven by the arrival of SoFi Stadium (home of the NFL's Rams and Chargers) and Intuit Dome (home of the NBA's Clippers), and the mental health landscape is significantly shaped by the displacement anxieties, economic pressures, and cultural grief of long-term residents facing gentrification and the loss of neighborhood character. Rising housing costs are pushing out families who have been part of the Inglewood community for generations, and the psychological impacts of forced displacement—grief, anger, identity loss, and financial stress—are prominent themes in local therapy. Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health provides public services, and a private therapy sector is developing alongside the city's changing demographics. Common therapy concerns include displacement and gentrification trauma, racial identity and community belonging, economic stress, anxiety, and the complex emotions of watching a beloved community transform in ways that benefit some while excluding others.
